[jdom-interest] XML and XSL

[Peter Barraud]

Hi,
I'm back again. what I had asked some time back was that I wanted to take an
xml and an xsl and return html to a browser. I got a lot of replies and have
just started working on the stuff. I got one reply form Ian that said to try
the jdom-b7/samples/XSLTransform.java so I did that. In fact, I took the
sample catalog.xml and catalog.xsl files that are in the samples folder and
tried to use them but I get this huge error message which starts with:
"java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
        at org.apache.xpath.patterns.NodeTest.execute(NodeTest.java:386)"
anybody who has tried to use this example could maybe help me out here
pb

Take a look at jdom-b7/samples/XSLTransform.java.  Send the result
out to the browser from a servlet using something along the lines of

  out.output(doc2, res.getWriter());
