This is what I do to run xalan (the XSLT processor) from command line (in a script): C2_HOME=/path/to/xml-cocoon2 export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$C2_HOME/lib/core/xalan-2.2.0.jar:$C2_HOME/lib/core/xerces-1.4.4.jar:$C2_HOME/lib/core/xml-apis.jar java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN $1 -XSL $2 $@ putting this into a .bat, replace "export" with "set" and "$C2_HOME" with "%C2_HOME%" and all ":" with ";", set C2_HOME correctly and it should work on Windows. Well, you get the idea: You need to include the three jars in your classpath and then you can start Xalan by pointing java to the above class. Use -IN for your XML, -XSL for your XSL and -OUT if you want the result saved to a file. There are some debug switches which are quite useful, too: -TT trace templates -TG trace result element generation -TS trace selection events -TTC trace template children HTH, Chris. -- C h r i s t i a n H a u l [EMAIL PROTECTED] fingerprint: 99B0 1D9D 7919 644A 4837 7D73 FEF9 6856 335A 9E08 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
