xalan-java - xsl:import and efficiency
Hallo all,
I have a style sheet "A" which has an <xsl:import href="B"> tag. I process
"A" by calling (psuedo-code)XSLTProcessor.processStylesheet(new
XSLTInputSource("A") ), and then I store the processed style sheet in a hash
table for easy retrieval.
My question is this: in the above example, does "B" get processed also? Or
is "B" reprocessed each time I actually perform an XSLT transformation with
"A"?
Thank you,
-Sean

No. A.xsl Stylesheet is kept in hash with included B.xsl.

In XalanJ2, the Templates or Transformer object will include the
processed "B" stylesheet so it will not be reprocessed, I belive. Not
sure about XalanJ1. You could test this easily enough by call
processStylesheet, then renaming "B", then trying to do the transform
and see what happens.
