RE: [xsl] Using Saxon 8.5 and collection() to process a directory of XML files

["Mohamed Elhag" <mohamed.elhag@xxxxxxxxx>]

I manage to get this working under Saxon by simply using the required
name for files and folders as variables, and everything seem to be
generated as required
e.g
<xsl:result-document encoding="UTF-8"
href="Templates/{$groupName}/{concat($className,'.java')} "
method="text">

Regards

Mohamed Elhag

You can call document-uri() on each of the document nodes in the
sequence and get back a uri-ified version of the filename.

I'm also interested in this. I think (could Mike confirm?) that the main
disadvantage of going this route is that all documents processed will
(or might) hang around in memory rather than being processed and dumped
one at a time as would happen if you arrange the processing pipeline
outside xslt.
