The process doesn't have to be fast, it just > has to finish. Xalan has a feature to turn off caching, but doing so will interfere with guarantees of generate-id() and the document() function. The feature is detailed here: http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N102AE The compliance feature that is broken is detailed here: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#document "Two documents are treated as the same document if they are identified by the same URI. The URI used for the comparison is the absolute URI into which any relative URI was resolved and does not include any fragment identifier. One root node is treated as the same node as another root node if the two nodes are from the same document. Thus, the following expression will always be true: generate-id(document("foo.xml"))=generate-id(document("foo.xml"))" Dave XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
