[xsl] xalan error with plain text

[Michael Engelhart <mengelhart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to do simple transform from a simple XML document to plain 
text.  I'm using the current Xalan 2.2D14 and the supplied Xerces and 
JDOM 1.0b7 for my XML generation.


I have the following XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<document>
	<title>The Title</title>
</document>

When I try and process it through this stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:output method="text" />

  <xsl:template match="document">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="title">
    <xsl:value-of select="." />
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I get the following stack trace which unfortunately doesn't give me 
enough information to figure out the problem.

also on a related note, I can't seem to get the "omit-xml-declaration" 
attribute of <xsl:output> to work either.

Thanks for any help

Best Regards
