FW: [jdom-interest] Question regarding XML transformation!

[Phill_Perryman at Mitel.COM]

I use the following which produces an xml output file from a JDOM document 
(called quote here).

The xsl contains the following

<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" indent="yes" />

        /**
         * Produces an export of selected data from the quote (JDOM Document)
         * into an xml file.
         */
        public void menuFileExport() {
                enableWaitCursor();
 
                Transformer transformer;
                FileOutputStream fos = null;

                try {
                        transformer =
 TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(
                                        new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(
                                                Global.getRootDir() + "export.xsl"));
                        fos = new FileOutputStream(Global.getReportsDir() + "export.xml");
                        StreamResult out = new StreamResult(fos);
                        transformer.transform(new JDOMSource(quote), out);
                        fos.flush();
                        fos.close();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                        Global.showErrorMessage(
                                Utility.get("DialogUnableToCreateReportMessage"));
                } finally {
                        disableWaitCursor();
                }
 
                fos = null;
                transformer = null;
        }

Our XSL does not contain "<xsl:output method="text"/>" but it does contain the following: 

      <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

This may or may not help, but I get the same exception when I have the 
following line in my XSL: 
  
<xsl:output method="text"/> 
  
If I remove that line, then the exception is no longer thrown.

We've recently acquired Beta 10 release of JDOM and are interested in the 
new transformation classes.  Do they support transforming an XML doc using 
an XSL file that I provide?  I have the following code but I get the 
exception "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Root element not set " when I attempt to do anything with the transformed document: 

      XSLTransformer transformer = new XSLTransformer(xslFileName); 
      Document targetDoc = transformer.transform(sourceDoc); 

      System.out.println(targetDoc);  // This line throws the exception indicating that the transformation did 
not occur correctly 

The XML doc is transformed fine using the XMLTransformer class provided by 
IBM WebSphere.  Unfortunately, the WebSphere class only deals with files-- 
something that we don't want due to I/O processing.  We want to transform 
XML strings instead of files.  Am I not understanding something about the 
JDOM transformation classes or are there future plans to support what we 
want? 

A reply to this note would be greatly appreciated.
