Transforming with the input of a DOMSource wraped

around a Document causes a TransformerException with

message "DOMSender: no start node defined"

I've tracked the problem down to the class

net.sf.saxon.Controller around line 1370:

// Must copy the whole document, not just the subtree

org.w3c.dom.Document dom = ds.getNode().getOwnerDocument();

((DOMSource)source).setNode(dom);

If ds.getNode() is a Document than getOwnerDocument()

returns null. I fixed it by changin the code to:

// Must copy the whole document, not just the subtree

if (ds.getNode().getNodeType()!=Node.DOCUMENT_NODE) {

org.w3c.dom.Document dom =

ds.getNode().getOwnerDocument();

((DOMSource)source).setNode(dom);

}

Ive attached a test case.

No that it should matter, the implementation class of

my Document is org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl but

the definition of getOwnerDocument() is defined as

returning null for Document nodes.

Actual Result:

Error

DOMSender: no start node defined

Exception in thread "main"

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: DOMSender: no

start node defined
