XSLProcessor

Question

I'm calling the processXSL method with XSLStylesheet and XMLDocument as args in order to transform a master XML doc into several XML docs that match the db structure of target views. I've done this successfully in pl/sql and using Steve Meunchs' JScript Microsoft.XMLDOM file. This time around its a Java Solution. The problem is, I'm not getting the transformation I expected. the out.print(System.out) DocumentFragment is my parsed XSL String.
i.e.
XML in Reader is :
<?xml version......
<EMPLIST>
<EMP>
<name>Patrick</name>
<age>27</age>
<address>1 First St</address>
<EMP>
</EMPLIST>
XSL in Reader is :
<xsl:stylesheet.....
<xsl:template match="//">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="EMPLIST">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="EMP">
<ROW>
<name><xsl:value-of select="name"/></name>
<age><xsl:value-of select="age"/></age>
</ROW>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
What I think I should get is:
out DocumentFragment :
<ROW>
<name>Patrick</name>
<age>27</age>
</ROW>
What I am getting is:
<xsl:stylesheet.....
<xsl:template match="//">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="EMPLIST">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="EMP">
<ROW>
<name><xsl:value-of select="name"/></name>
<age><xsl:value-of select="age"/></age>
</ROW>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I think your expectation is correct but I am confused about what you are getting. Seems you should get an document fragment identical to the original xml not the xsl. At least this is the behaviour I am seeing. It works correctly if I send the output to the printwriter but not if I try to return a xmldoc fragment. Am I going to have to pipe the output to a reader and reparse to get the functionality I need or is there a bug fix for this?
