Sorry I have no idea why you get this exception.
But may I ask why you use JDOM at all? If you are starting with a
XML file and want to get another XML file there's no reason to
convert either source or result to JDOM first.

What you do right now looks something like this:

            Stylesheet
                V
XML -> JDOM -> XSLT -> JDOM -> XML

But realy you want this:

            Stylesheet
                V
        XML -> XSLT -> XML

Take a look at the attached XML2HTML.java. It's a lot simpler - and
it works! ;-)

bye,
Jan
