[jdom-interest] Off Topic - XSL (Xalan) question

Mon Sep 18 08:43:32 PDT 2000

I know this question is not directly related to JDom and for that I
apologize, but I know someone here will have the answer I need.

I'm using JDom to create XML that I then process with XSL via Xalan. My XSL
is very simple I'm not even adding any of the XML data to it yet. I have an
<a> tag that the Xalan is dying on. This is the error I get:

org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLProcessorException: The reference to entity
"subaction"  must end with the ';' delimiter.

This is the line it is dying on:

<a
href='http://localhost/login/ActionServer?action=loadpage&subaction=html&fil
eName=client-inquiry.html'>Client Inquiry</a>

I've included the XSL and have commented out the offending line. If someone
could point out what I've done wrong I would greatly appreciated it.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="1.0"
>  
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <head><title>Main Menu</title></head>

      <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
        <h2>Main Menu</h2>
        <p>
<!-- Why doesn't it like this line?
        <a
href='http://localhost/login/ActionServer?action=loadpage&subaction=html&fil
eName=client-inquiry.html'>Client Inquiry</a>
-->
        </p>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
