Transform errors with xsl:include

[Etienne Deleflie <et...@proxima-tech.com>]

Hi,

I have created a URIResolver which seems to work fine, but I keep
getting transform errors from the included xsl file (when there should
not be)

The URIResolver is set to the TransformerFactory:-
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 factory.setURIResolver(uriResolver);

The URIResolver resolves a StreamSource form a URL object:-
StreamSource myStreamSource = new StreamSource( url.openStream() );

The file is found and the StreamSource is created without problems, but
when I then get a transform error from the included xsl file:-
Transform error: Characters are not allowed at this point in the
document!

The included xsl file is as follows:-
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:attribute-set name="font">
  <xsl:attribute name="font-name">Arial</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="font-size">14px</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
</xsl:stylesheet>

am I going barmy?

Hello again,

The problem is solved. There is no bug involved, just a typo.

<xsl:include href="second.xsl">  instead of  <xsl:include
href="second.xsl"/>

The source of the confusion is that the TransformerConfigurationException
I was getting has no way of telling me which XSL file the problem was in.

I thought I was confirming that it was not in the original xsl file
because removing the include line removed the problem ...........hence
thinking it must be in the include file ............ when, in fact,
removing the include line solved the problem because the typo was in the
include tag!!!
