Thanks Gene - I can get this kind of thing to work in a straight xsl file, but not when I try to compile the xsl file into a java translet using the XSLTC Compiler (documented at http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/xsltc_usage.html ).
The translet compiler doesn't seem to support the redirect:write extension, but there is a brief mention of the xsltc:output element at http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/xsltc_constraints.html#xsltcconf . It seems to have been a recent addition and doesn't have namespace info or egs of use.

Dave - I haven't seen an "xsltc:output" element. There is an "xsl:output" element, but it's not just for redirecting output. It does specify the output format, including that of redirected output. Here's what I use. ... xmlns:redirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect" extension-element-prefixes="redirect" ... <xsl:output method="xml" doctype-system="mydocuments.dtd" indent="no"/> ... <redirect:write file="redirected-output.xml"> <xsl:apply-templates select="."/> </redirect:write> ... - Gene Roske Dave Beaumont wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm fairly new to Xalan, having just moved to it from Saxon in order to use > the translet compiler, and am trying to compile an xsl file that uses output > file redirection.
