Trouble with JSP/ XML compatibility

[Russell Castagnaro <ru...@synctank.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a jsp that can also include some transformed XML,  since I'm
using GNUJSP I can't use the servlet 2.2 API :(

here's what I'm using to do the transformation in my JSP (this works great in a
servlet):

<jsp:declaration>
 public void displayXML(Writer _out, String _path,String _xml, String _xsl)
throws Exception
 {
        if (_out == null) throw new Exception("No Writer specified");
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(_out);
        // find out what doc and stylesheet we're dealing with here

        if (_xml == null) throw new Exception("No XML file specified");
        if (_xsl == null) throw new Exception("No XSL file specified");


        // Get the XML Document
        File xmlFile = new File(_path,_xml);
        File xslFile = new File(_path,_xsl);

       XSLTProcessor processor = XSLTProcessorFactory.getProcessor();

    processor.process(new XSLTInputSource(new FileReader(xmlFile)),
                       new XSLTInputSource(new FileReader(xslFile)),
                       new XSLTResultTarget(out));


 }

</jsp:declaration>

then to call it in the jsp:
<jsp:scriptlet>
try{

displayXML(out,"/iws/wwwroot/mysuff","property.xml","xsl/property_html_1.xsl");
} catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(out));
}
</jsp:scriptlet>

however this is the result!!!

Icky eh?


Anyone have any insights into this?  I'm not using XSP anywhere in here, so I
really don't understand why XSP:Page is needed.

Thanks!
