Re: Xalan port to Tandem; Pathway CGI interface

[Da...@lotus.com]

The interface will take any ostream-based class, so why not use ostrstream
or ostringstream?

   // Buffer to hold the result of the transformation...
   std::ostringstream     buffer;

   XSLTResultTarget  resultTarget(&buffer);

   ...

   // Get a reference to the string that contains the result.
   std::string&      result = buffer.str();

Or am I misunderstanding your question?

           The following issue came up for a coworker who
           has successfully ported Xalan-C to Tandem, but is
           now dealing with Pathway CGI problems.

           We use something similar to TestXSLT (process.cpp)
           to do transformations. The result of which is a stream
           or file. We need to be able to return a buffer.

           I've seen similar discussions here before (outputing
           a buffer vs. the current stream or file). Any comments?
