Custom XML Transformer Error

[Former Member]

I have created a custom XML Transformer using the SAP Library article:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e1/98e14110340b7fe10000000a155106/frameset.htm

I created the project and uploaded the PAR file but when I try to create an XML iView I get to the part where I enter the URL and when I click "Next" I get the following error:

Caused by: com.sapportals.portal.prt.core.broker.PortalApplicationNotFoundException: Could not find portal application com.sap.portal.EmptyTransformersProvider...

In the PAR Structure section it says - The Par File must have the following folder structure:

dist->PORTAL-INF->portalapp.xml

dist->PORTAL-INF->xml->XSLLibrary->Transformers (My custom XSL File (stock.xsl) is HERE)

dist->PORTAL-INF->xml->Transfomers.xml

This I have completed however, it also shows two files under the project:

EmptyTransformersProvider.etz

com.sap.portal.EmptyTransformersProvider.par

What are these files and how do I create/add them?

I noted that the name of the Project created here is EmptyTransformersProvider but my project is named ep_sts does this matter?

Also if it matters: this is a DC which I created in NWDS using Enterprise Portal->Portal Application Module.

Lastly I have tested the XSL using Internet explorer and an XML File and it workes fine so I would assume it is not the XSL causing the error.

Hello

As i've created my own transform according to the tutorial, it doesnt appear in the list of available transforms either in the xml iview wizard or editor.

Any idea ?

previously I had the same error resolved by naming the project with the right name.

Thanks

OH - I guess it has to be named com.sap.portal.EmptyTransformersProvider in order to work!
