Java xml出现错误 javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.NullPointerException解决办法：

利用Java操作XML，在操作XML过程中，执行到最后一步，在利用Transformer进行XML转换时出现NullPointerException错误，出问题的部分代码如下：

 //转换 
TransformerFactory tFactory =TransformerFactory.newInstance(); 
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(); 
//需要转换的内存中XML源文件 
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(xmlDoc1); 
//生成的xml文件 
File xmlDoc2 = new File(outPutPath+generateXmlFileName); 
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(xmlDoc2); 
//转换 
transformer.transform(source,result); 

运行到transform函数时出现以下错误（比较长，由于我是利用SWING设计图形界面的，所以会有一些图形界面事件调用的错误）：

       一开始我也感到奇怪，transform函数只是把在内存中的XML树转换成文件，为何会出现nullPointer错误呢。上网查了一下，没什么人找到答案，最后在（http://blog.awe.cz/post/english/beware-of-null-text-nodes/）这个blog中找到相当有用的答案.
