Java XSLT Transformation

Hi,
i'm trying to do a XSLT transformation in Java
i have this code

TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xslFile));

PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();
transformer.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(writer));

If i have the following HTML file:

<html>
<head></head>
<body><p>Something Something</p></body>
</html>

It works fine, i does the transformation i want
but if i change the <html> node to

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

It doesn't work, i get a Premature End of File, in an Exception

Thank you

If you change your XML so the elements are in a namespace then you must change your stylesheet to look for them in that namespace.

Google for "XSLT default namespace" for lots of discussion on the topic.
