Xalan/XSL processing of multi-document files

["Matthews, Tom" <TM...@teradata-ncr.com>]

Hi
	I very new at XML/XSL but I'm trying to use XSL to transform XML
into flat text.  I've managed to build a sheet that does this fairly well
for the document I'm looking at.  However, for production there will be
multiple XML documents in a single file.  When I try this I get the error

Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
org.xml.sax
.SAXParseException: Comment must start with "<!--".

Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to split the documents out of the
file and process each separately?

Thanks & Cheers
Tom

XML does not have the concept of a "multi-document file". If that's how
you've stored your data, it's your responsibilty to create and plug in
front-end code (eg, a suitable Entity Resolver) which explodes it into
separate XML documents before we see it.
