aplying Xalan on a sub-tree

[Jean-Marc Vanel <jm...@free.fr>]

Hello

I have 20Mb of 10 000 plant descriptions, and I want to apply an XSLT
transform on each <description> element corresponding to a plant
description. For memory reasons, I can't apply a global transform.

So I probably need to implement a SAX documentHandler that will:
- at each start of <description> element, begin a DOM document
- at each end of <description> element, pass the DOM to xalan, manage
the result, and discard the DOM

Has someone a sample doing something aproaching ?

Thanks
