Re: [xsl] <xsl:message terminate="yes"> results in zero byte file getting written

["Senthilkumaravelan K" <skumaravelan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Grant ,
I am also facing similar kind of issue ,during transfor if I have
xsl:message with terminate=yes and it is redirected to System.err and
It does not fall as Exception,
Could you please tell me ,How did you manage to get the text value of
xsl:message in Java context.
It would of real help ,if you share your approach on the same.

Thank,
Senthil
