[jdom-interest] Transformation Issue

[Jason Shapiro]

I switched versions of WebSphere (to 9.0.2.17) and am now getting a more detailed stack trace (any ideas?)

    I'm running into a strange issue and am hoping someone here has some advice on how to best troubleshoot the problem.  
   
  I have a very simple XSLT operation (producing HTML), using the XSLTransformer class:
   
  XSLTransformer transformer = new XSLTransformer(xsl);
  Document doc2 = transformer.transform(doc);
   
  When I run this in a JDK 1.4 / Tomcat configuration, the Document is returned that looks exactly as I would expect it (an HTML document).  When I use the same code in a JDK 5 / WebSphere configuration, the Document object doesn't contain any elements (so when I try to display with an "toString" or "XMLOutputter", I get the following exception message: 'A DocType cannot be added after the root element').   
   
  My guess is that this is ultimately related to some Xalan / Transformer issue, but I'm not sure what the best way is to determine what's being used (vs. what should be used).
   
  Any advice is appreciated.
