Hello again, Hope this question is OK for this group. I think that it is since it is a question on org.apache.fop.tools.xslt.XSLTransform. The problem is that I am trying to do everything in memory. The XML and resulting FO data are never on disk. The call I am trying to make is: org.apache.fop.tools.xslt.XSLTransform.transform( org.org.w3c.dom.Document in, InputStream xsl, org.w3c.dom.Document out); When I call XSLTransform.transform I have my XML in a org.w3c.dom.Document (thanks Christian!) and I have the XSL in an InputStream. The call results in the transformed data in the out Document. Does anyone know how to get the data from the out Document to a String? Tried a out.toString() but that doesn't work. TIA for the help!
