Style taks and destDir

Hello,

I'm using ant for XSL tranformations... and I'm trying to use the
'style' task.

Here is the action in my build.xml :

     <style baseDir="${wDir}" processor="xalan"
includesFile="Personne.aed" style="${wDir}/aed2schema.xsl"
destDir="titi/titi.xml"/>

The destDir argument  has a strange behavior :

    [style] Transforming into /home/olivier/xxx/titi/titi.xml
    [style] Loading stylesheet /home/olivier/xxx/tmp/aed2schema.xsl

It seems to take destDir into account, but no file is generated in my
titi directory ?

It's strange to have a destDir argument... when using directly xalan
processor, I just give the -OUT file where I want to produce my
result... with a destDir what'll be the result file name ?  Why not a
destFile argument ?

Thanks.

Strange...

I really can't make any xsl transformation... even with your remark...

The only way I found is to call directly xalan with the java task.

What you said is surely right theorically... but in ant real life...it's not
the reality

Thanks for your answer.

Because <style> can handle a bunch of files at once. If you say 

<style basedir="src" destdir="dest" extension="html" includes="**/*.xml" />

it will generate dest/a/b/c.html out of src/a/b/c.xml and dest/d.html
out of src/d.xml and so on. All at the same pass.
