xsl stylesheet path not founnd

[Former Member]

Receiving error: "javax.xml.transform ... exception Invalid uri 'http://localhost/.... escaped absolute path not valid."

Stylesheets cannot be found by irpt unless changed to actual path like "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\....

Thanks, Ed (for Shari)

Shari,

Most likely it's because the IUSR_<MachineName> user does not have full control over the IIS root directory. Try resetting inheritable permissions for this user to Full Control.

That did not seem to solve it. Here's the full message.

javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid uri 'http://localhost/Temperature Monitoring/MKTReportGrid.xsl': escaped absolute path not valid

Is that a valid URI? Try pasting it into IE and it will encode it as

http://localhost/Temperature%20Monitoring/MKTReportGrid.xsl

due to your space in Temperature Monitoring.

I would recommend to not use spaces in URLs.

It is a valid url and yes it should not have spaces. I replaced the space in the servlet, calling irpt with %20 and all is well.

Thanks, ED & Shari
