Here are two XML documents and an XSLT stylesheet

Now apply suss.xsl to sduss_a.xml and you will get:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<menu>
<breakfast />
<lunch />
<dinner>
<salad />
<soup />
<main-dish />
<dessert />
</dinner>
</menu>
There it is, processed with XALAN-J. I'm still new to Java, so I won't be able
to help you debug your program, but the problem is clearly not XSL and you may
do better posting to the XALAN-J list to get pointers programming those
classes.
Unfortunately, this isn't doing what I need to do. This XSL creates a
completely new DOM document with a 'menu' root. I need to put a series of
nodes into an existing document at a specific node beneath the root.
I want the root node to be any currently existing element in my DOM tree. I
can control the choice of which node is my parent in the destination tree,
but if I try to put more than one node under that parent element, I get this
error, even though I don't think the error is correct.
I understand that I can't create a DOM document with more than one root
element, but that's not what I'm trying. I already have the DOM document,
and I want to put a series of nodes under a child element of that DOM
document...
Thanx,
Steve
