problem in Transformation

[Joseph Bashir]

I want to create an HTML page from xml and xsl in JSP using TransformFactory and Transform. Here is the code:

<%
File xsl_File = new File("D:/_Joseph/www/customers.xsl");
File xml_File = new File("D:/_Joseph/www/customers.xml");
if(xsl_File.exists() && xml_File.exists()) {
StreamSource xslSource = new StreamSource(xsl_File);
StreamSource xmlSource = new StreamSource(xml_File);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(out);
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource);
transformer.transform(xmlSource, result);
} else {
out.println("xml file and xsl file not exists");
}
%>



It throws the exception:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.DTMManagerDefault

Here is the detail of it:

I ran your code without any problems. Your stack trace shows a Class Cast exception inside xalan.jar. Could be you have a bad jar, a bad system configuration or properties file somewhere, or its always possible you are missing some necessary jars.

The following jars may be necessary in addition to xalan.jar:

xerces.jar
xml-apis.jar
xerces.jar
saxpath.jar

I had problem with xalan.jar. After fixing it everything was ok. Thank you very much.
