Sorry, seems that I must have posted my previous question before (have had way too many things on my mind lately). The best solution would seem to be to use the SourceWritingTransformer to simply write my content to a file. To specify the file to write to, would I just have to write an xsl sheet that encapsulated my xml content in a <source:write> tag and specify the location with the source attribute? If so, how do I make a parameter or the request pipeline available to the xsl sheet and how do I use it? Also, what if I don't want the final output sent over the wire.....how would I stop output from going to the requesting browser? This is why I thought I would have to write a serializer, but if I can stop output from reaching the browser, this would also work.
