Vishwajit, parsing a string containing XML into XML elements is functionality provided by some parsers; see eval() functions. Generating multiple outdocuments from a single input is also extended functionality provided by some processors.
If you don't want to use the multiple-document extension, and don't care about processing efficiency (though from prior posts you do seem to want to keep tabs on that metric), one approach to splitting

I need to do a transformation that will take an input xml string in a format that is something like
...<a>1</a><a>2</a><a>3</a><a>4</a>...
and apart from transforming it, will split the multiple node occurrences for "a" into different xml's i.e.
xml[1]=<a>1</a>
xml[2]=<a>2</a>...
I was thnking that if xsl offers some kind of looping facility, that may help. But then xsl transformation presumably being single-input, single-output process, just an xsl maynot by itself suffice. Is there a possibility that somehow I can have a java loop pass a looping variable into the xsl-sheet, so that the first transformation gives me the first occurrence of "a", and so on.
Another approach could be to let the xsl transformation return a single xml that has the multiple "a" occurrences and then subsequently seperate them out by carrying out XPath/DOM operations on the transformed xml.
