Hi all

I am trying to do a transformation from Xalan in java.  I seem to be having a nodeset() problem and need some help.  I have simplified things as follows:
I have the following simple main class.

public class doComp{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		System.out.println("Hello World!");
		String infile1 = "<root>This is infile1</root>";
		String infile2 = "<root>This is infile2</root>";
		ComparatorService cs = new ComparatorService();
		String bob = cs.compareFiles(infile1,infile2);
		System.out.println(bob);

	}
}

This calls ComparatorService which works fine and sets a parameter called secondFile

I have the following xslt:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
exclude-result-prefixes = "xalan">

<xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" />
<xsl:variable name="old_file" select="/*"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:param name="secondFile"></xsl:param>
<xsl:variable name="new_file" select="xalan:nodeset($secondFile)/*"></xsl:variable>

	<xsl:template match="/">
		Parameter secondFile is set as
		<xsl:value-of select="$secondFile"/>
		#### Old File #####
		<xsl:value-of select="$old_file"/>
		#### New File #####
		<xsl:value-of select="$new_file"/>
		###################
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


This produces the following results print out:


Hello World!

		Parameter secondFile is set as
		javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource@152544e
		#### Old File #####
		This is infile1
		#### New File #####
		
		###################

Obviously the parameter secondFile is set to a DOMSource,


is it? the output would suggest that it was being set to the string javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource@152544e
but the line
<xsl:variable name="new_file" select="xalan:nodeset($secondFile)/*"></xsl:variable>

which waould be consistent with the path of /* not selecting anything,
Is returning nothing.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks

Stephen
