RE: Xalan To StringBuffer

[Gary L Peskin <ga...@firstech.com>]

Sorry for the delay.  It's been a hectic day (so far)!  You'll get
faster results if you send messages like this to the Xalan-J-Users list.

I'd do it like this:

 java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream();
 javax.xml.transform.Result result = new
javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(baos);
 StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(baos.toString());
 baos.close();

HTH,
Gary
