Error in Java code in XSL transformation

Question

Hi,
I am getting below error while transforming XML ( in string) using XSL.
XML-22047: (Error) Invalid instantiation of 'xsl:template' in 'Alarm' context.
I am using following function :
public String strConv(String message, String xslfile) throws Exception {
        StringReader reader = new StringReader(message);
        StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
        TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          Transformer transformer = tFactory
                .newTransformer(new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(new File(xslfile)));
        transformer.transform(new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(
                reader), new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(writer));
        return writer.toString();
Corresponding XSL portion :
<xsl:template match="Alarm">
<Alarm>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Identifier" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="updateSeqNum" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="removeFlag" />
<xsl:template match="Severity">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="Severity = '0' ">
<perceivedSeverity>Clear</perceivedSeverity>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="Severity = '1' ">
<perceivedSeverity>Indeterminate</perceivedSeverity>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="Severity = '2' ">
<perceivedSeverity>Warning</perceivedSeverity>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="Severity = '3' ">
<perceivedSeverity>Minor</perceivedSeverity>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="Severity = '4' ">
<perceivedSeverity>Major</perceivedSeverity>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="Severity = '5' ">
<perceivedSeverity>Critical</perceivedSeverity>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<perceivedSeverity>
<xsl:value-of select="Severity" />
</perceivedSeverity>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Please help me to find out the error.
Thanks.

Answer 1

just a guess: Please post the output of this (add it to the top of your method):
File xslRealFile = new File(xslFile);
System.out.println("File: "+xslRealFile.toString()+" exists? "+ xslRealFile.exists());
bye
