I am using xalan 2.7.1 to validate my xml docs with xslt style sheet. It works fine for the first document and returns error message in case of error along with correct line and column number of xml source by making use of NodeInfo.lineNumber and NodeInfo.columnNumber extensions.
The problem is when I try to reuse transformer to validate other xml docs, it successfully transforms the document but always returns lineNumber=columnNumber=-1 for all errors.
Any idea?
Here is my code:
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance("org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl", null);
tFactory.setAttribute(TransformerFactoryImpl.FEATURE_SOURCE_LOCATION, Boolean.TRUE);
StreamSource xsltStreamSource = new StreamSource(new File("E:\\Temp\\Test\\myXslt.xsl"));
Transformer transformer=null;
try {
transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xsltStreamSource);
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
File srcFolder = new File("E:\\Temp\\Test");
for (File file :srcFolder.listFiles()) {
if (file.getName().endsWith("xml")) {
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(file), new StreamResult(outStream));
transformer.reset();
}
}
System.out.println(outStream.toString());
} catch (TransformerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
