I can see the simpler interpretation Steve, just looks odd from the user perspective? Saxon does just the same as you say, but processes arg pairs (for such as -o, -x etc). I've given up with the xslt task now; Need it to handle a different parser (xercesImpl) for xIncludes and Apache resolver.jar for catalogs - I don't think the xslt task can hack that? I have it working as a java task <java classname="${xslt.processor.class}" fork="yes" dir="${in.dir}" failonerror="true"> <classpath refid="xslt.processor.classpath" /> <jvmarg line="-Dorg.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration=org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeParserConfiguration"/> <jvmarg line="-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl"/> <jvmarg line="-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl"/> <arg value="-l"/> <arg value="-o"/> <arg value="${out.dir}/${main.outfile}"/> <arg line="-x org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader"/> <arg line="-y org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader"/> <arg line="-r org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver "/> <arg line="${in.dir}/${main.infile} ${main.stylesheet} ${param.args.post}" /> </java> which will suffice! (I'll stick with the <arg line/> notation till ant loses it, for readability.) regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
