Problem in converting XML to XML file

Question

Hi,
I am trying to convert xml file to another xml through command-line interface but failed.
java oracle.xml.parser.v2.oraxsl data.xml data.xsl data_new.xml
My xml and xsl files are:
1. XML file
<employee_data>
<employee_row>
<employee_number>7950</employee_number>
<employee_name>ABC</employee_name>
<employee_title>PRESIDENT</employee_title>
<manager>1111</manager>
<date_of_hire>20-JAN-93</date_of_hire>
<salary>65000</salary>
<commission>1000</commission>
<department_number>10</department_number>
</employee_row>
</employee_data>
2-1 XSL file
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xsl:version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:sort select=".//employee_name"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
2-2 XSL file
<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<ROWSET xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:for-each select="employee_data/employee_row">
<ROW>
<EMPNO><xsl:value-of select="employee_number"/></EMPNO>
<ENAME><xsl:value-of select="employee_name"/></ENAME>
<JOB><xsl:value-of select="employee_title"/></JOB>
<MGR><xsl:value-of select="manager"/></MGR>
<HIREDATE><xsl:value-of select="date_of_hire"/></HIREDATE>
<SAL><xsl:value-of select="salary"/></SAL>
<COMM><xsl:value-of select="commission"/></COMM>
<DEPTNO><xsl:value-of select="department_number"/></DEPTNO>
</ROW>
</xsl:for-each>
</ROWSET>
I used two xsl file to test but received same error message:
Error occurred while processing data.xsl: Error in expression: '*|/'.
Does anyone know how to fix the problem? I'll appreciate it very much for your help.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have only tried it out with XML Spy, but anyway:
there seems to be an error in your 2-1 XSl file in line 2:
the correct stylesheet declaration is:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
You had an empty namespace and a wrong version attribute...
HTH,
