Need a small example please.

[John Siu <Jo...@FitGlobal.com>]

First I have to apologize I post a help request in this list. I understand
this should be a list for xalan development but I just can't find a
newsgroup about xalan on both my company and home news feeds.

What I want to do is this : Use xalan to transform a xml, which is inside a
String, with a xsl file, and have the output put back to a String.

Is this doable? If so, a small example will be highly appreciated! I did
look through the sample code and the source code of TESTxslt, but all I can
find is stream base and file base I/O.

If someone kind enough to answer this, please email me at
John.Siu@fitglobal.com (or will the mailing list automatically send the
answer back to me??)

Thank you!!

For the InputSource class you should be able to do something like the
following:

new InputSource(new StringReader("<root></root>"));

As far as getting the string back, pass a StringWriter (StringWriter sw =
new StringWriter()) into the XSLTResultTarget as follows:
XSLTResultTarget(sw).  Once you call the process() method you can then get
the output by using sw.toString().  There may be other ways but that's what
I usually do.

Hope that helps get you started,
Dan
