    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to perform an XSLT transformation in Java. Here is the stylesheet:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="person"&gt; &lt;xsl:variable name="varname"&gt;info&lt;/xsl:variable&gt; &lt;xsl:element name="{$varname}"&gt;content&lt;/xsl:element&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p>(It's a very simplified example demonstrating the problem. In fact, I really need to define the variable and then use it).</p> <p>Here is the Java code:</p> <pre><code>DocumentBuilder builder=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc=builder.parse(new File("C:\\temp\\test.xsl")); DOMSource xsl=new DOMSource(doc); Transformer transformer=TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(xsl); </code></pre> <p>When running, it emits an exception:</p> <pre><code>ERROR: 'Variable or parameter 'varname' is undefined.' FATAL ERROR: 'Could not compile stylesheet' javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: Could not compile stylesheet at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTemplates(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:824) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTransformer(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:619) </code></pre> <p>The same stylesheet works fine in other engines (in Internet Explorer, in MSXML, in GNU xsltproc). What am I doing wrong? Maybe this feature is not supported in Java? Or maybe I should first set some parameters to the TransformerFactory or whatever?</p>
