[jdom-interest] jdom & xalan

[Paul Walk]

I have also experienced this (or a similar) problem, using
the 'birds.xml' and 'birds.xsl' files from the
'SimpleTransform' example in the Xalan-j2.0.0 distribution.

Having prepared the Transformer object and loaded it with a
style sheet like this:
<code>
	TransformerFactory tFactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
	Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer (new
StreamSource(new File("birds.xsl")));
</code>

This example gives the correct, transformed output:
<code>
	transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new
File("birds.xml")),new StreamResult(System.out));
</code>

Whereas this does not:
<code>
	SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(false);
        DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(new
DOMOutputter().output(builder.build(new
File("birds.xml"))));
        transformer.transform(domSource,new
StreamResult(System.out));
</code>

Any ideas, anyone?
