How do I use XSLT & XML is stored in InterMedia Text.....

Question

I use interMedia Text to store XML document. How do I use the XSLT Processor API to transform the data which is searched by XML SQL Utility??
//***Source Code
public Document xmlquery(String tabName,String xslfilename)
Document xmlDocToReturn = null;
String xmlString;
try
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
//initiate a JDBC connection
// initialize the OracleXMLQuery
OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn,"select XML_TEXT from bookstore where contains (xml_text,'John WITHIN authorsec')>0");
// structure the generated XML document
qry.setMaxRows(2);
// set the maximum number of rows to be returned
// get the XML document in string format
xmlString = qry.getXMLString();
// print out the XML document
System.out.println(" OUTPUT IS:\n"+xmlString);
// get the XML document in string format
xmlDocToReturn = qry.getXMLDOM();
conn.close();
catch (SQLException e) {
return xmlDocToReturn;
xml = (XMLDocument)query.xmlquery(args[1],args[0]);
// Instantiate the stylesheet
XSLStylesheet xsl = new XSLStylesheet(xsldoc, xslURL);
XSLProcessor processor = new XSLProcessor();
// Display any warnings that may occur
processor.showWarnings(true);
processor.setErrorStream(System.err);
// Process XSL
DocumentFragment result = processor.processXSL(xsl, xml);
Thank you.

Your problem here is that when you store an XML document in a CLOB and search it using intermedia, when you do a query like:
SELECT xml_text
FROM bookstore
WHERE CONTAINS(xml_text,'John WITHIN authorsec')>0
The output from the XML SQL Utility using getXMLDOM() looks like this:<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<XML_TEXT><![CDATA[
<bookstuff>
<authorsec>
<name>Steve</name>
</authorsec>
etc.
</bookstuff>
]]>
</XML_TEXT>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>with the document as a single text value (it's actually just a text node, not a CDATA node) but the above illustrates conceptually that the whole XML document is one big text node.
To transform this you'll need to parse that XML text into an XML document in memory by passing constructing a StringReader() on the text value and parsing that reader.
