Loading *.xsl into memory

["Dorsey, Chris" <ch...@bankofamerica.com>]

We are currently using xalan-j_1_2_2.  I have heard that you can load your
*.xsl files into memory, so that you don't have to read them from disk every
time.  Is this true?  If so, how is this accomplished?

Thanks in advance for your help,

What you want to do is to create a compiled style sheet, and then
use it more than once.

Assume the following declarations:

	    XSLTInputSource xisXML = new XSLTInputSource(...);
	    XSLTInputSource xisXSL = new XSLTInputSource(..);
	    XSLTResultTarget resultPw = new XSLTResultTarget(..);

If you had to load and transform like this:

	    processor.process(xisXML, xisXSL, resultPw);

Change it to first load:

	    StylesheetRoot ssrXSL = processor.processStylesheet(xisXSL);

And then transform:

	    ssrXSL.process(xisXML, resultPw);

You can use the same StylesheetRoot (ssrXSL in this example) over and
over again. You will definitely save on processing time.

Let me know if you need more info.
