using DTM (or ?) to pass a source to a transform

[Robert Koberg <ro...@koberg.com>]

Hi,

I am working on some specialized Ant types and tasks for Xalan-j to do 
some XSL transformations in a build.

If I can, I want to create an Ant type that will keep an optimized DOM 
(DTM) around for use in multiple targets/tasks. I will create a custom 
task to handle the transformation using the optimized DOM as some kind 
of source.

- I see the DTM is built from a Source object. Can I store a DTM for 
multiple transformations (that will occur one after the other - not 
concurrently)?

The rest of the questions are dependant on the above question :)

- If I can reuse the DTM, is there some way I can pass it in to a JAXP 
transformation (i.e. a DTMSource or some such thing)?

- Or will I need to extend TransformerImpl and override the transform 
method?

- I see I can use DOM2DTM to getDocument() off of DTMDefaultBase. How 
would I construct it?

new DOM2DTM(
   ?new DTMManagerDefault()?,
   myDOMSource,
   ?anyInt?,
   myExtendedTransformerImpl,
   new XMLStringFactory(),
   true
);

thanks for any advice,
-Rob
