RE: [xsl] Re: using SAX events in URIResolver (Xalan and Saxon)

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm very confused by what you're trying to do here.

You've got a transformation T, running in the form of a TransformerHandler,
that calls the document function to access a document D. You say "The
Transformer resolver sends the current TransformerHandler to a method that
uses it to send SAX events." So D is actually the output of T - or have I
misunderstood? This sounds to me as if you are trying to get the
transformation to read its own output. Surely it shouldn't be surprising if
this causes some kind of infinite loop?
