How to return a node-set from an extension?

[Martin Pare <mp...@ordinox.com>]

Hi,
	I have recently download the lastest verion of Xalan-C. I have compiled and
it works. I have have added some simple XSLT extensions and they work great,
but now I want to return more complex information in the form of a
node-set....

	Can anyone give some pointers on how to return a node-set? I can easily
return a result-tree, but not a node set. I need to return a node-set
because I want to do some transformation on the result...

Best Regards
Martin Pare

I couldn't reach the archive and check the possible answers for the question
that pops up every so often.

The node-set extension is build-in function in XT and SAXON and it's very
usable. I'm sure some one on this mail list probably ran into this problem
(like Philippe and I) and solved it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Michael

I have the same question but for the Java implementation of Xalan.
How can I defin a custom element that returns a XML fragment
(ie a hierarchical element structure on which I can do the same
processing as if I would have defined output tags withing the stylesheet)?

Thanks in advance,

	Philippe
