[jdom-interest] java.lang.IllegalStateException

[Norrman Per]

Hi,

Your transformation produces this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  7

which is malformed xml. There is no root element and
the exception is right on the spot. Try modifying your
stylsheet to something like this:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
  <xsl:output method="xml" />
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <value>
      <xsl:value-of select="/Dog/Name/@*" />
    </value>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

and your result should come out like so:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <value>7</value>

/pmn

Hello JDOM list,

I'm getting the following error

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Root element not set
	at org.jdom.Document.getContent(Document.java:332)
	at org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter.output(XMLOutputter.java:794)
	at org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter.output(XMLOutputter.java:585)
	at sbpgames.util.XmlUtil.applyXPath(XmlUtil.java:39)
	at sbpgames.util.XmlUtil.main(XmlUtil.java:128)

when I attempt to use XMLOutputter.output on a document that is a result
of
an in memory Transformer transformation. The main method (at the bottom)
creates a Document and passes that, along with an XPath expression as a
String to applyXPath (first method in the class). applyXPath creates a
xsl
document that matches / and selects the XPath expression fed to it.
This
stylesheet and the xml document are then fed to transform(JDOMSource in,
Source stylesheet, which returns a Document. If I change this line in
the
transform method

	JDOMResult out = new JDOMResult();

to

	Result out = new StreamResult(System.out);

then I see that the transformation is working as expected. Therefore, I
suspect that I don't understand what happens to out in
transformer.transform(in, out);

I'm new to this technology, so I realize my error could be anywhere, and
that this is a long chunk of code. Therefore I am very grateful to
anybody
who has the time to look at it.
