Hi Folks,
I have a (Java) program which has two String variables:
- xml, whose value is the XML, and
- xsl, whose value is the stylesheet
I am trying to invoke the XALAN API using these in-memory strings, e.g.,
-- convert the xsl (String) to a byte array and create an instance
-- of an InputStream:
ByteArrayInputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(xsl.getBytes());
-- create a StreamSource using the input stream:
StreamSource ss = new StreamSource(is);
-- create a Transformer using the stream source:
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(ss);
When I execute the program I get an error message:
[Fatal Error] :1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.
where the following is referenced as the offending instruction:
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(ss);
Note: there is nothing wrong with my stylesheet. When I run it from the
command line everything works fine.
Any ideas on what causes this error message? Have you invoked the XALAN
API with in-memory strings? How did you do it? /Roger
