Hi Andrew,
You need to tell your XMLReader to forward lexical events (e.g.
comments) to the TransformerHandler as well. In what you have above, you
have only asked it to forward basic ContentHandler-type SAX events onwards.
Add the following after your setContentHandler() line:
xmlReader.setProperty("http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler";,
hander);
and you should find your comments reappearing.
Ahh great thanks - I did scan the features and properties lists but
lexical-handler didn't jump out at me...
cheers
