SAX-enabled XSLTC translets

[jcplerm]

Is it possible to come up with a version of XSLTC that generates translets that can process SAX events directly, rather than first buidling a DOM tree (as I can see looking at the source code for org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline.Transform)?   I am under the impression that Xalan's TransformerHandler is able to perform a transformation directly on SAX events, rather than first building a DOM tree.   This question relates to Cocoon, which excels at taking advantage of SAX-based processing for performance. The goal is to be able to deploy compiled stylesheets, instead of their source in plain text format. In other words, incorporating XSLTC translets into Cocoon pipelines.   But in order to do that, a Cocoon transformation would have to first build a DOM tree (as in org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline.Transform). That would slow down Cocoon's performance, since a DOM structure would have to be built in the middle of processing.   In summary, I would like to insert into a Cocoon pipeline a translet created by XSLTC that is able to process SAX events directly, without first building a DOM tree.   Thanks,   Julio Lerm Chicago, IL
