TrAX and Translets: What am I missing?

[Joseph Kesselman <ke...@us.ibm.com>]

I don't see any way to use TrAX to load and run a precompiled translet. We
don't seem to have any examples of doing this, as far as I can tell, either
in the samples directory or in our documentation pages.

Is it just something like "pass the .class file's name to the
TransformerFactory rather than the .xsl file's name"? Is there some other
pluperfectly obvious idiom that I'm staring right past? Or did we really
forget to provide a way to do this?

In a hack in some offline code I'm doing I did:

transformer = new org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerImpl(
                translet, 
(org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl) tfactory);

That will at least get you a generic transform object.

I think the proper way to do it is:

tfactory.setAttribute("use-classpath", Boolean.TRUE);

which will cause the newTemplates(Source source) method to surmise the 
translet name from the stylesheet name, and load the translet from the 
classpath (I think).
