[xep-support] xep ant task throws InvocationTargetException on xml input

Hi,

if I read the instructions in the XEP reference right, I can use the ant
task for xml input files.

However, I get this output:

robert@sauerbraten:~> ant reporttask
Buildfile: build.xml

reporttask:
      [xep] (document
      [xep] [system-id file:/home/robert/report.xml]

      [xep] (validate

      [xep] [error] file:/home/robert/report.xml: line 1: Incorrect top element - should be 'root'
      [xep] [validation total: 1 error]

BUILD FAILED
/home/robert/build.xml:65: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Total time: 2 seconds

The same file can be turned to PDF by a shell script like below, so I know
it should work:

XEP_HOME="/home/robert/sw/XEP"
CP="$XEP_HOME/lib/xep.jar:$XEP_HOME/lib/saxon.jar:$XEP_HOME/lib/xt.jar"
java -classpath "$CP" \
        "-Dcom.renderx.xep.CONFIG=$XEP_HOME/xep.xml" \
        com.renderx.xep.XSLDriver "$@"

The XML file starts like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!-- $Id: report.xml 2060 2006-03-08 16:09:08Z robert $ -->

<!DOCTYPE SER SYSTEM "../../xml/SER.dtd" [
        <!ENTITY history SYSTEM "generated/history.xml">
]>

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="../../xml/SERfo.xsl"?>

<SER ID="FSP">

My ant stuff is basically taken from the XEP reference guide:

<property name="xepdir" location="/home/robert/sw/XEP"/>

<path id="xep.classpath">
    <fileset dir="${xepdir}/lib">
        <include name="*.jar"/>
    </fileset>
</path>

<taskdef name="xep" classname="com.renderx.xepx.ant.XEPTask"
    classpath="${xepdir}/lib/XEPTask.jar"/>

<target name="reporttask">
    <xep in="${reportdir}/report.xml" out="${reportdir}/report.pdf" format="PDF">
        <classpath refid="xep.classpath"/>
        <sysproperty key="com.renderx.xep.CONFIG" value="${xepdir}/xep.xml"/>
    </xep>
</target>

Changing the ant target to be just a plain java call like below also works,
but defeats the purpose of the xep task.

<target name="report">
    <java
        classname="com.renderx.xep.XSLDriver"
        classpathref="xep.classpath">
        <arg value="report.xml"/>
        <sysproperty key="com.renderx.xep.CONFIG" value="${xepdir}/xep.xml"/>
    </java>
</target>

Looks to me like the xep tasks tries to treat the xml as fo for some reason?

What am I missing here to get the xep task to work with the xml input file?

Thanks,

Robert
