I was trying this approach with Xalan-J 2.7.1, and was facing some
problem. Below is my attempt to create an XML document from scratch
using this approach.
import org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl;
import javax.xml.transform.sax.TransformerHandler;
public class MyXMLWriter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
TransformerFactoryImpl tfi = new TransformerFactoryImpl();
TransformerHandler tHandler = tfi.newTransformerHandler();
tHandler.startDocument();
tHandler.endDocument();
}
catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
When I run this program, I get the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerIdentityImpl.createResultCon
entHandler(TransformerIdentityImpl.java:302)
at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerIdentityImpl.startDocument(T
ansformerIdentityImpl.java:911)
at MyXMLWriter.main(MyXMLWriter.java:10)
Could you please help me how I can resolve this error.
