redirect:write append attribute
Hello all,
I am using 2.2.D10 and tried 2.3.0. Does the redirect:write append
attribute actually supposed to work?
I've tried
<redirect:write file="foo.xml" append="true">
and
<redirect:write file="foo.xml" append="yes">
and yet Xalan still seems to open the file as if new and overwrite any
existing content. Or should I be using some other append value not
documented?
thanks,

I would, but I'm not very good with Java, except to drink it when pulling an
all-nighter....

Matthew --
Looking at the code, it seems like this should work. The extension
calls:
FileOutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream(file.getPath(),
append);
where append should be set to a boolean true as a result of your
redirect:write element. Perhaps this parameter of the FileOutputStream
constructor does not work on your platform. Can you write a small test
program that will open a file in append mode using this constructor and
see if that works on your platform?
