RE: [Exist-open] processing instruction problem

[Jon W. <jWilliams@ProvidenceSoftware.com>]

I have one XSP page which wraps eXist output:

<contentResult>
	<exist:result goes="here" />
</contentResult>

When the second XSP page attempts to include output from the first,
I get a the problem I described (of course).

Is it possible to remove the XML declaration node using an XSL on the first
XSP page?
some other way? suggestions? I've tried half a dozen different ways to embed
output
from one page into another, but every method I've tried, I've run into
issues with
the order that the transforms take place. (My personal favorite was that
xsp:request
tags weren't getting processed first, so my xsl variables weren't getting
set unless
I hardcoded my values)

the transformer trick sounds interesting, but I'm not sure where
that would go... the exist output is coming from the xmlrpc "query" function
as opposed to another XSP page, so there's no transformer present, but I
could wrap it in one if I need to...

thanks for the help so far

What that does is tell the (Xalan) serializer not to start off its output
with an xml declaration. But if Jon is trying to output a file that has an
xml declaration anywhere within it, simply leaving off the xml declaration
in the only place it's allowed won't help. The xml declaration can be left
off altogether, but if present it has to be the very first thing in the
file, otherwise the output just isn't xml.
