XSLT Question

[Scott Moore <pu...@cox.net>]

I have a general XSLT question I would like to ask, but I can't find a
proper list for it.  I realize this list is for Xalan related questions, but
could someone point me to a good general XSLT list?

Thanks,
Scott

URI help

[Michael Engelhart <me...@navigatus.com>]

I have a project where I need to post XML data to a web services URL to get
XML data.  The sample code the company whose services I need to access uses
XML as the payload of a single http 'get' parameter called xml.

So for example a request URL to get an XML document from them would be
something like:
http//the.company.com/xmlInterface.jsp?xml=<Request><var1>abcdedfg</var1></R
equest>

In Java I can create a URL using
URL url = new 
URL("http//the.company.com/xmlInterface.jsp?xml=<Request><var1>abcdedfg</var
1></Request>");

And javac doesn't balk.   But when  I try to do this in Xalan, I have all
sorts of errors relating to invalid characters in a URI.

Does anyone have any way around this?  I've tried using
java.net.URLEncoder.encode() but that doesn't work either.

I've also tried CDATA'ing out and escaping the <> characters but that also
doesn't work.


Basically what I need to do is this:

<xsl:copy-of 
select="document('http//the.company.com/xmlInterface.jsp?xml=<Request><var1>
abcdedfg</var1></Request>') />

When I do this, I get the following error:
(Location of error unknown)XSLT Error
(javax.xml.transform.TransformerException):
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
org.apache.xml.utils.URI$MalformedURIException: Query string contains
invalid character:<


Any ideas?

Thanks
Mike

XSLT is just a part of XSL as you probably know. Then, would not
be logical to start with W3C/XSL mailing list first?
