Result of processToXML and process differs

Question

I have a problem in using XSQLRequest :
the results given by process and processToXML are differents
I'd like to use processToXML but in the following example i can't get the right result with it. The problem occurre when using disable-output-escaping in the xsl file
My aim is to query something in my database which return a VARCHAR content XML text
My xsql file is :
// File test.xsql
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<page connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<MyQuery>
<xsql:query >
<![CDATA[
select '<TEST> toto </TEST>' AS toto from dual
]]>
</xsql:query>
</MyQuery>
</page>
For that i use this xsl file
// File test.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="MyQuery">
<MyQuery>
<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</MyQuery>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The expected result is :
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<page xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<MyQuery>
<TEST> toto </TEST>
</MyQuery>
</page>
I obtained the expected result in using the process methode of XSQLRequest
but with the processToXML i couldn't obtain it, instead i obtained
<page xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<MyQuery>
&#60;TEST> toto &#60;/TEST>
</MyQuery>
</page>
Pleas help
Thank you
My java test file
import oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLRequest;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.URL;
import java.io.*;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.*;
public class XSQLtest {
private final static void usage()
System.out.println("Usage: \n\t" +
"XSQLtest xsqlFile");
System.exit(1);
public static void main( String[] args) throws Exception {
if (args.length < 1) usage();
File myFile = new File(args[0]);
// Construct a new XSQL Page request
XSQLRequest req = new XSQLRequest(myFile.toURL());
// Setup a Hashtable of named parameters to pass to the request
Hashtable params = new Hashtable();
// TEST with process
System.out.println("TEST with process");
req.process(params,new PrintWriter(System.out), new PrintWriter(System.err));
System.out.println("\n\n");
// TEST with processToXML
System.out.println("TEST with processToXML");
XMLDocument xmlDoc =
(XMLDocument)req.processToXML(params,new PrintWriter(System.err));
xmlDoc.print(new PrintWriter(System.out));
Result :
TEST with process
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<page xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<MyQuery>
<TEST> toto </TEST>
</MyQuery>
</page>
TEST with processToXML
<page xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<MyQuery>
&#60;TEST> toto &#60;/TEST>
</MyQuery>
</page>
null

These two are supposed to differ for this case. When you call processToXML, this avoids the step of serializing the transformed result and instead just returns the transformed, in-memory DOM tree. Since <xsl:output> hints and disable-output-escapin are only relevant when the XSL Processor gets a chance to serialize the output, you have to use process() if you want either of these two to take effect.
