Hi Tobias,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I understand from your response that I should direct the output to an
XML file whose format is as below and my application should be able to
open the file parse it and read the data.
<Report>
<Failure description="..." />
</Report>
But, I want my application to read the output buffer of the XSL
transformation say I would put text 0 on success & 1 or 2 or etc on
failures. I would not mind such solution.
xsl stylesheet:
output method="text"
<xsl:if test="...">
<xsl:text>0<\xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
I would be very glad if some more clarify is provided on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Pnvd Sudhir

your stylesheet could return an list of failures and your application
parses
the result to check and handle success or failure(s).
xsl stylesheet:
<failures>
<xsl:if test="..."><failure description="..."></xsl:if>
... more tests ...
</failures>
application:
parses the result, checks success by simple counting the children of
/failures, which should be zero on success.
on error the application can access the failure's description and other
info
by visiting the particular failure-node.
