I would like to perform XSLT with pipes and unfortunately, the little program "java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN birds.xml -XSL birds.xsl -OUT birds.out" requires I have files for input and output making piping cumbersome!
Has anyone modified java source to org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process so it will read from standard input and write to standard output? I tried and after 30 minutes of my attempts to replace "inputfile" with system.in not working, I decided someone else has surely already done this! (I'm wondering if I was encountering some constraints where the transform does not want to read from standard input because it wants to report the file name the syntax error messages and standard input does not have a file name.) Can someone point me to an implementation of java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process that will read from standard input, figure out the name of the XSL file from the PI tag, and write to standard output? Thanks, Siegfried
