[jdom-interest] Newbie XSLT: transform error on tiny xslt file

[Mark Bennett]

Changing the xmlns reference fixed it, thanks.

I had sent this to the mailing list since the MS tools had processed it OK
(with the other header, which I copied from the book I was reading), so it
seemed specific to the Java xml tools.

Thanks,
Mark

Does this have anything to do with JDOM?


All my stylesheets have

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

and the O'Reilly XSLT book by Doug Tidwell says on page 26

"... stylesheet should always begin with this element, coded
exactly as shown here" and goes on to say that some processors,
Xalan in particular, object if they don't.
