result to a source

[Andrew Welch]

Hi,

Sorry if this is a faq...

I have a custom uri resolver that I want to do a transform before passing the 
result back to the requesting stylesheet.  How do I go from a result to a 
source?  I  can write the result out and then read it back in, says as a string 
or bytes, but this seems unecessary... my knowledge of streams is really 
lacking :(

code sample:
 
 public Source resolve(String href, String base) throws TransformerException {
   try {
      URL context = new URL("file:///");
      URL u = new URL(context, href);
               
      InputStream is = new FileInputStream(u.toString());
                
      TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      Source xsl = new StreamSource(new 
File("C:\\test\\AddElementIdToStylesheet.xsl"));

      Result result = new StreamResult(???);
      ^^^what type of result do I need here?
 
      Transformer transformer = tf.newTransformer(xsl);
      transformer.transform(new StreamSource(is, u.toString()), result);
                
      return ????;
      ^^^how do I return the result as a source?
   } catch (Exception ex) { 
      System.out.println(ex.toString());
      ex.printStackTrace();
   }
  return null;         
 } 

cheers
andrew
