Ok, thanks so what I'm trying to is possible. You probably haven't wanted to tell me what is probably plainly obvious to anyone more familiar with these API's, but how do I alter an existing DOM document - I've seen and used the content handler to create a new document, but once its 'endDocument' method has been called - can the constructed document be further modified? -----Original Message----- From: David Bertoni [mailto:dbert...@apache.org] Sent: 13 August 2009 19:07 To: xalan-c-users@xml.apache.org Subject: Re: Relative newbie question - How to augment XSLT generated output? paul.band...@nomura.com wrote: > I need to be able to augment an XSLT generated document by adding the > contents of another document to it as a child node.

If you want a mutable result, then yes, you have to use the Xerces-C DOM. However, you might want to look at the XSLT document function, instead of generating a result DOM and modifying it. You can use the xsl:copy-of instruction to copy an entire document anywhere you like in the result tree. It will also be much more efficient than generating a Xerces-C DOM document as the result, then appending another document.
