Exception : Could not compile stylesheet

[msarora]

I'm using SimpleTransform.java (renamed as ReceiptTransformer.java for
custom use) found in xalan-j_2_7_0 samples directory for
transformations in my custom application. The program compiles
successfully but gives the following error during runtime:

ERROR: 'org/apache/avalon/framework/configuration/Configuration'
FATAL ERROR: 'Could not compile stylesheet'
Exception in thread "main"
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationExcept ion: Could not
compile stylesheet

Below is the copy of the stylesheet. I'll really appreciate any help or clue in
this regard.

It could be the includes you are using.

<xsl:include href="barcode.xsl"/>
<xsl:include href="USReceiptTemplates.xsl"/>
 

Have you tried running a simple transformation on a simple xml without failure?
