Transformer Exception -- Please help.

[Mike London]

I have some straightforward XSLT logic that creates an XML document, then calls another class to create the HTML file from it using the XSL document.

The code runs fine locally under straight Tomcat, but does not work on the Apache-Tomcat server (don't know if this is a distinction of significance).

Locally, JDK 1.4.2_06 and Tomcat 5.5.4 (worked to with Tocmat 5.0.19)

Server, JDK 1.4.2_04 and Tomcat 5.0.28 + Apache.

When I run the code on the server, I get the error below.

javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.IllegalStateException:

can't declare any more prefixes in this context

Can anyone help me figure out even ... where ... the problem is?

=============================

The actual class's source that is giving this error source is below:

 
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerException;
 
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
 
import java.io.*;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
 
 
/**
 * <p>Title: applyXSLSheet.java</p>
 * <p>Description: Apply the XSL Stylesheet that was created for this site.</p>
 */
 
public class ApplyXSLSheet implements Serializable
{
  String oldXMLFileName = null;
  String XSLSheetName =  null;
  String outputHTMLFileName = null;
 
  public ApplyXSLSheet()
  {
  }
 
  public ApplyXSLSheet(String arg1, String arg2, String arg3)
      throws TransformerException, FileNotFoundException
  {
    this.oldXMLFileName = arg1;
    this.XSLSheetName = arg2;
    this.outputHTMLFileName = arg3;
 
    // okay create it!
    this.createHTMLFile(arg1, arg2, arg3);
  }
 
  private void createHTMLFile(String oldXMLFileName,
                              String XSLSheetName,
                              String outputHTMLFileName)
      throws TransformerException, FileNotFoundException
 
  {
    TransformerFactory factory;
    Transformer transformer;
 
    File oldFile, xslFile, newFile;
    StreamSource oldStream, xslStream;
    StreamResult newStream;
 
    factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    
 
    try
    {
       
      oldFile = new File(oldXMLFileName);
      oldStream = new StreamSource(oldFile);
 
      xslFile = new File(XSLSheetName);
      xslStream = new StreamSource(xslFile);
 
      newFile = new File(outputHTMLFileName);
      newStream = new StreamResult(newFile);
 
      transformer = factory.newTransformer(xslStream);
      transformer.transform(oldStream, newStream);
 
    }
 
    catch (Exception e)
        { 
          System.out.println("Error in ApplyXSLStyleSheet -- " + e.getMessage());                    
        }
  }
 
}

Thanks in advance for any help.

Add some debug statements and a finally block of code to printStackTrace(...). I am not familiar with this error.

OK, great idea.

Here's the printStackTrace() output.

As you can see, the very first error is an org.apache.xalan error.

The references to my code I'm not taking seriously since the code works fine locally (and even ... used to work on the server).

Is this org.apache.xalan processor something I can configure or update?

This org.apache.xalan processor doesn't refer to the xalan.jar file I put into Tomcat's commmon/libs folder is it?

I really look forward to your reply!!!

Thanks in advance.

This problem is now fixed.

The problem was that there were too many old JDOM files in the Tomcat common libs folder.

Thanks

Hi,

Just to move the atribute "version" to the last within the tag "xsl:stylesheet"

e.g.
from "<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">"
to
"<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">"
