XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Alex Bleasdale <rhodlite78 AT yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi,

I've got a brief question that I was hoping I could run by this forum.  I 
wanted to take a look at Nux and take advantage of the XSLTransformPool it 
offers.

First and foremost, the link to the binary (or the source) doesn't seem to be 
working for me :(

http://acs.lbl.gov/software/nux/nux-download/

I eventually managed to find a jar elsewhere 
(http://ftp.freepark.org/pub/freebsd/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/java/) 
although none of the sources were available for the project.  Would anyone on 
this list know whether they are likely to be made available again?

From looking at the Nux 1.6 JavaDoc api, I put a fairly simple transform to 
the test to see whether it would work, so I've got something like this:

        System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
                "net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl");

        XSLTransform trans = XSLTransformPool.GLOBAL_POOL
                .getTransform(new File("xsl.xsl"));
        Document doc = BuilderPool.GLOBAL_POOL.getBuilder(false).build(
                new File("xml.xml"));
        Nodes nodes = trans.transform(doc);
        for (int i = 0; i < nodes.size(); i++) {
            System.out.println("node " + i + ": " + nodes.get(i).toXML());
        }

Which yields something like this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
nu.xom.xslt.XSLTransform.<init>(Lnu/xom/Document;Lnu/xom/NodeFactory;Ljavax/xml/transform/TransformerFactory;)V

    at nux.xom.pool.XSLTransformPool.getTransform(XSLTransformPool.java:170)
    at com.TestXsLTransformPool.main(TestXsLTransformPool.java:34)

As I don't have access to the source, I'm not really able to pinpoint with 
any detail where things are going wrong so I was wondering whether anyone had 
used the TransformPool successfully in a recent project and whether they 
could offer me some pointers?

I'm using the latest versions of xom and saxon although I've noticed that Nux 
hasn't been under development for a while (version 1.6 was released back in 
June 2006).  I'm wondering whether the project was still under development 
and secondly, if it isn't - does anyone know a good way to pool transformers 
instead?  Is this something that xom does now?

Thanks very much in advance.
