Todie, Xalan doesn't have anything like that, but you could write your own URIResolver, a standard JAXP thing Your class MyURIResolver would need to implement javax.xml.transformerURIResolver:
class MyURIResolver implements URIResolver { public Source resolve(String href, String base) { . . . } // extra code and methods } Then use it with JAXP when you create the TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); tFactory.setURIResolver(new MyURIResolver()); Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(... You would have to create the Source objects for each of the included/imported stylesheet modules rather than have Xalan do that for you, but as a side effect your MyURIResolver object can keep track of all the included/imported styleesheets. Later on you can ask a URIResolver if it ever included a particular URI. A bit more complicated than I'm making it look because you'll need a new MyURIResolver for each Transformer that you create, and you'll need to keep track of all instances of MyURIResolver, but you get the idea. The good thing about this is that it is independent of processor. - Brian - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Brian Minchau XSLT Development, IBM Toronto e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "toadie D" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> To xalan-j-users@xml.apache.org 05/15/2006 05:04 cc PM Subject Usage of Template in memory caching and <xsl:include href=" As a way to optimize loading and parsing of XSLT, we are making use of javax.xml.transform.Templates and maintain an in-memory cache of the Templates by name Within the XSLT itself, usually there are a number of xsl:include. <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' xmlns:lxslt='http://xml.apache.org/xslt' exclude-result-prefixes=lxslt' version='1.0'> <xsl:include href='someCommon.xsl'> When there's a change to someCommon.xsl, is there a way to programmatically determine the dependencies between the 2 maps. What I would like to do is to be able to detect the dependency and sweep through the in-memory cache and flushed out or reload the affected parent map. Thanks in advance. Toadie.
