HAving downloaded Xalan I am having trouble executing a XSLT operation.
I am geting an error which reads
file:///C:/swiss-prot/swiss-prot.xsl; Line 1; Column 8; XSLT Error
(javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException):
javax.xmnl.transform.TransformerException:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The XML declaration may only appear at
the very beginning of the document.
I am new to XSLT but I am very confused as my XML and XSL seem fine.
Here, I will show you the top of each file
swiss-prot.xml :-
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="swiss-prot.xsl"?>
swiss-prot.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
OK, so firstly can someone please tell me if I am interpreting the error
correctly. It is telling me that I have some sort of problem with the
XML declaration at the top of my XSL file?
Second, Is the lay out of my XML and XSL OK at the top?
Third, If there was an error, not with the top of the file, but with the
actula tagging, could that generate this error message.
Please consider that I am very new to this whole field so if you tailor
your answers to that I would appreciate it. I mention this as looking
at some of the answers to FAQ's I get more confused by the answer than
by the question
cheers
