Problem with XML to CSV transformation using JDOM api

[Vineet Venkatesh]

Hi Guys!
I am facing a problem wherein i am trying to transform an XML using an XSL to a csv format data using the JDOM api, which is currently returning an empty string as the output. Listed below is the code snippet for the transformation which results in an empty string.
Could someone please suggest a way to resolve this particular issue.
Transformation Code

/**
This method takes a Document object and a stylesheet and it returns a response after processing the xml using the stylesheet.
     *
     * @param Document doc
     * @param String stylesheet
     * @exception IOException
     * @return ByteArrayOutputStream
*/
public static ByteArrayOutputStream transform(Document doc,String stylesheetPath)throws TransformationException
{
   OutputStream outStream = null;
   ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
   String sErrorMessage="JDOMHelper::transform";
   byte[] byteArray = null;
   try
   {
     Transformer transformer =  
     TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(
     new StreamSource(stylesheetPath));
     
     JDOMSource req = new JDOMSource(doc);
     JDOMResult res = new JDOMResult();
     transformer.transform(req,res);
     List list = res.getResult();
     try
     {
        XMLOutputter serializer = new XMLOutputter();
        String outString = serializer.outputString(list);
        System.out.println("\n\nTHE OUTPUT STRING 
        IS:"+outString);
        byteArray = outString.getBytes();               
        bos.write(byteArray);                
     }
     catch (IOException e) 
     {
        System.err.println(e);
     }
     return bos;
  }
  catch(Exception tex)
  {
    String sErrorMsg = sErrorMessage + "Failed to transform 
    the XML:";            
  }
}

Sample XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root><AccountNumber>100000000</AccountNumber><IdentificationType>Yes</IdentificationType></root>

Sample XSL

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/> 
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="/root/AccountNumber"/>,
<xsl:value-of select="/root/IdentificationType"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Please help !

ummmmm.......not familiar with JDOM (yet), but Xalan
gave me the expected output. So your style sheet is ok.
This is probably trivial to you, but anyways.....
