Thanks David. I appreciate the quick reply. I think that for the time being we will keep using Xalan-J but it would be interesting to have this for future versions. I agree with you that EXSLT/XSLT 2.0 are a better approach.
Thanks again,
Hernando

Hi Hernando,
I recall earlier someone had an extension function that serialized a result
tree fragment to a file, so they structured their stylesheets to generate
RTFs. However, that would take a significant amount of work, and is really
non-standard.
I've been saying for two years now that extension elements need to be
implemented, but have never had the time. I guess I should just bit the
bullet and go for it. However, I'm not sure I would choose to implement
the old Xalan-J redirect feature. Rather, I'd target EXSLT and/or the XSLT
2.0 result-document element.
I don't have any timeframe for this, so I'm not sure you can really count
on it for your project.
Dave

Hi,
We have a project in which we use the "redirect" features of Xalan-J
extensively for writing multiple documents from a single stylesheet. We are
considering using Xalan-C++ instead for performance reasons but we want to
keep changes in our XSLT sources to a minimum. The documentation is clear
to say there is no support for EXSLT elements, so, using exsl:document is
not an option. Is there any other way to do this using the standard Xalan
executable? Implementing an external function?
Thanks,
Hernando Borda
