Hi Benoit,
> session, should i use one transformer for all of these transformation;
If they can go simultaneously - no. Actually Transformer implementation is
pretty ligh-weight, at least, comparing to Templates. You can reuse
Templates (i.e. stylesheet itself) and it will give you good performance
boost. Then the second question is solved automatically. You will just call
Templates.newTransformer each time you need a transformation on this
stylesheet.
If you still want to reuse Transformer object in the case of Xalan's
org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl call method reset(). It should
prepare Trasnformer for second process call.
Thanks,
Dmitry

Subject: style sheet parameters reset ?
Hello
I'm developing a wizard that enable users to graphicaly
edit datas and save these into a public XML format.
In this application i'd like to give users the possibility to produce
something else than a XML file. In fact the idea is to give them the
possibility to supply an XSL file for the wizard to build the output
with a XalanTransformer object.
This is possible because my data's memory representation is
based from A to Z on Xerces DOM representation.
Now here is my problem (i allways have problems :) :
If the user want to produce multiple XSL transformation durring one
session, should i use one transformer for all of these transformation;
or should i recreate one transformer every time a transformation is
asked ??.
If the first solution is realistic compare to the standard usage
pattern,
so i have another problem.
I'd like either give the user the possibility to set his own stylesheet
parameters. Indeed, if he want to apply to the DOM data representation
more than one stylesheet tranformation, how do i "reset" the
stylesheet parameters ?
This is not possible with the XalanTransformer interface.
Do i simply set these parameters to an empty string ?
thank you.
Regards.
