XSLT Transformation in jav

[vinay kumar]

Hi,

I am transforming an xml using xsl in java. Getting 'ERROR: Content is not allowed in prolog.' Here is the code. xml and xsl are two string variables which read from corresponding xml and xsl files.

BufferedReader inXML = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("c:\\vinay\\ACC.xml"));
BufferedReader inXSL = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("c:\\vinay\\ACC.xsl"));
            String xml="";
            String xsl="";
            String l="";
            String l1="";
            while ((l = inXML.readLine()) != null) {
                xml+=l;
            }
            while ((l1 = inXSL.readLine()) != null) {
                xsl+=l1;
            }
 
        ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        ByteArrayInputStream xmlIn = new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes());
        ByteArrayInputStream xslIn = new ByteArrayInputStream(xsl.getBytes());
 
        TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xslIn));
           
        transformer.transform(new StreamSource(xmlIn), new StreamResult(out));

Please help.

thanks,
vinay

Content not allowed in prolog usually means the document does not start with <?xml etc.

Now for the real question - why in the world are you doing this convoluted business of reading with a Reader, building a String, and turning the String into a byte stream and then into a StreamSource.

You can turn a BufferedReader directly into an InputSource.
