How to call XSL template from java code ?

Please note that, I don't need to know how to transform xml docuemnt by XSL in Java.

What I need exactly is that, I have some XSLT document that contains a template that do something, ex:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
    <h2>My CD Collection</h2>
    <table border="1">
      <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
        <th>Title</th>
        <th>Artist</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>.</td>
        <td>.</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

Then I need that template to be called from java code. How to ??

Is your question that you have an XSLT which doesn't require an input document? Then just give the Transformer object some kind of minimal document:

transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new StringReader("<empty/>")), yourResult);

You can use the javax.xml.transformer.Transformer API for this.

Here's a basic kickoff example:

Source xmlInput = new StreamSource(new File("c:/path/to/input.xml"));
Source xsl = new StreamSource(new File("c:/path/to/file.xsl"));
Result xmlOutput = new StreamResult(new File("c:/path/to/output.xml"));

try {
    Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(xsl);
    transformer.transform(xmlInput, xmlOutput);
} catch (TransformerException e) {
    // Handle.
}
