NullPointerException when running XSLTransformer

System

I have implemented a URL external task in Java (using CSSDK) that performs an XSL transformation.

The code is as follows:

*BEGIN CODE
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
...
StreamSource transform = new StreamSource(xslFileInputStream);
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer t = tf.newTransformer(transform);
*END CODE

I have verified that xslFileInputStream is a valid file, and that it contains what I expect. The problem is, the call "tf.newTransformer()" returns null, which according to the API documentation should never happen.

Has anyone come across this issue before?

Thanks,
Dhruva

Hi

Try this

StreamSource xsltransformsource = new StreamSource("Source.xsl");
            StreamSource transformsource = new StreamSource("Process.xml");
            StreamResult transformresult = new StreamResult(System.out);


            TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer transformer = tf.newTransformer(xsltransformsource);
            transformer.transform(transformsource, transformresult);
