Hi,

Have you looked at the STX samples? From what I understand, STX could be
what you're looking for.  It's a streaming transformation which tries
its best to only load the required parts of a document into memory.

I don't think it's as fully functional as Xalan / XSLT, but might do the
job for you.  The implementation cocoon uses is Joost:

http://joost.sourceforge.net/

Take a look :) If you get a chance to try it out, do let us know - I'd
love to see examples from people using it for heavy documents, as I'd
like to try it myself at some point.

HTH,

Corin

Thanks, that explains it. I'll be looking for a way to extract chapters
of
large books in a less expensive fashion.

An XML database may be one way of doing this; I am a bit reluctant about
using
XIndice, though, as having simple XML files is quite attractive, as
opposed
to having a database in which updates become more difficult.

Ok, we'll live and see.

Best regards,
Adrian.
