[Xmlunit-general] How can I use an EntityResolver with a Transform?

[Miguel <mi...@al...>]

Hi,

Consider the following scenario:
- I am using XMLUnit on a set of legacy files with different SYSTEM
definitions in DOCTYPE. Some of them are invalid (the web address
changed in real life). Because I had ceated my own EntityResolver to
resolve to a local file, I decided to use it.

The following lines work:

		XMLUnit.setControlEntityResolver(entityResolver ); //My own
implementation of EntityResolver
		XMLUnit.setTestEntityResolver(entityResolver );
		Document myControlDocument =
XMLUnit.buildControlDocument(myControlXML); //OK, calls my
EntityResolver in the process. all is well
		Document myTestDocument = XMLUnit.buildTestDocument(myTestXML);
		Document myControlDocument =myControlTransform.getResultDocument();
		Document myTestDocument =myTestTransform.getResultDocument();
		XMLUnit.compareXML(myControlDocument,myTestDocument);
		

Now, the problem comes when I try to apply a transformation to one of
the documents:
Transform myControlTransform = new Transform(myControlXML, new
File("src/test/resources/nodeRemover.xsl"));

This code doesn't seem to use my EntityResolver, but tries to resolve
the internet address (it doesn't work). So when I call
myControlTransform.getResultDocument(); I get an empty document instead
of the correct one.

My questions are: 
a) how can I use my EntityResolver with Transform and Transformers?
b) Is it possible to use our own EntityResolver with
XMLUnit.getTransformerFactory()? How?


Thank you very much for your replies,
