Subject: RE: [xsl] Source XML same as Dest. XML after transformation?? From: Joseph Kesselman <keshlam@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2003 12:11:04 -0400 |
>well I know that it is not possible through XSLT, and that's what...i want >to do it through Xalan Xalan is an XSLT processor. In that mode, the answer is "no". Even with extension functions, this would be *FAR* too fragile and Will Not Be Supported. Xalan also allows you to call its XPath engine. You could use that to invent your own non-XSLT transformation processor which back-patches the source document. However, PLEASE NOTE that Xalan does not promise to give correct results if you alter the source while it is being searched; you *MUST* run each XPath query to completion before attempting any alterations. (Caveat: I'm thinking about this from the Xalan-J point of view. I presume, but am not 110% certain, that the same answers will apply to Xalan-C.) ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman, IBM Next-Generation Web Technologies: XML, XSL and more.
