How to convert XML to HTML using XSLT in Java
I want to convert XML file into HTML file with help of XSLT. But I am getting an error i.e.
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.
XML file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Company>
<Info>
<EmpId>1</EmpId>
<EmpName>John</EmpName>
<Age>25</Age>
<Salary>20000</Salary>
</Info>
<Info>
<EmpId>2</EmpId>
<EmpName>Tony</EmpName>
<Age>27</Age>
<Salary>23000</Salary>
</Info>
<Info>
<EmpId>3</EmpId>
<EmpName>Eithen</EmpName>
<Age>29</Age>
<Salary>25000</Salary>
</Info>
</Company>
XSL file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h1>Company Details</h1>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>EmpId</th>
<th>EmpName</th>
<th>Age</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="Company/Info">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="EmpId" />
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="EmpName" />
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="Age" />
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="Salary" />
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Java Code
public class TransInfoHtml
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try {
TransformerFactory tFactory=TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Source xslDoc=new StreamSource("files/NewStylesheet.xsl");
Source xmlDoc=new StreamSource("D:/Demo.xml");
String outputFileName="CompanyInfo.html";
OutputStream htmlFile=new FileOutputStream(outputFileName);
Transformer trasform=tFactory.newTransformer(xslDoc);
trasform.transform(xmlDoc, new StreamResult(htmlFile));
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (TransformerConfigurationException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (TransformerFactoryConfigurationError e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (TransformerException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

To me, this looks like an encoding problem. Try to ensure that the files are encoded correctly in all cases.
For example, add encoding="UTF-8" to your XML and XSLT file. But note that this is only a declaration - it does not change the characters themselves.
Also, you could copy your XML content into a simple editor and save it explicitly as UTF-8. For instance, if you are using windows, copy the content into notepad, hit "Save as...". In the file dialog, you can choose "UTF-8" from a drop-down.
