XSLT and then XInclude.

[Olivier Rossel <ol...@gmail.com>]

I appreciate very much the XInclude features of Xerces.
But unfortunately my documents have a tricky proprietary include mechanism.
I have a XSLT that can resolve them into perfectly legal xi:include tags.

I wish I could create the following pipeline:
 - my original document is transformed by a XSLT processor
 - the transformed document is sent as SAX or DOM to Xerces,
 - Xerces manages the XInclude inclusion and creates a new DOM
Document, where external contents have been inlined.

Does it sound possible?
The alternatives are
1: to save the result of the XSLT in a file, and then parse than file
with Xerces
2: manage the XInclude from inside the XSLT,

but both sound infinitely less convinient.

Hi Olivier,

Currently XInclude is only supported as part of the parsing process. The
best you can do today with Xerces is to serialize the document (you could
write to memory instead of a file) and then process it with an XInclude
aware SAX or DOM parser.

Thanks.
