Experiencing 
problems with Xalan's redirect extension.
The code attached is 
from the Xalan docs describing the extension.
Issue: data 
directed to the file is not captured in the file. The file is created, but 
empty.
Notes: bsf.jar and 
bsfengines.jar from IBM are required in the classpath to use this 
extension.
 
Things work from the 
command line:
java 
org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN foo.xml -XSL foo.xsl -OUT 
foo1.out
Note: when running 
from the command line the Cocoon PI in foo.xml was not 
present.
 
From within the 
Cocoon process the output file is created but empty.
Cocoon 
files:
foo.xml
<?xml 
version="1.0"?>
<?cocoon-process 
type="xslt"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="" 
type="text/xsl"?>
 
<doc>
  
<foo file="C:\temp\foo.out">
    Testing Redirect 
extension:
      <bar>A foo subelement text 
node</bar>
  </foo>
  
<main>
    Everything else
  
</main>
</doc>
 
foo.xsl
<?xml 
version="1.0"?>
 
<xsl:stylesheet 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:redirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"
    
extension-element-prefixes="redirect">

      Standard 
output:
      
<xsl:apply-templates/>
    
</standard-out>
  </xsl:template>
 
  
<xsl:template match="main">
    
<main>
      
<xsl:apply-templates/>
    </main>
  
</xsl:template>
 
  
<xsl:template match="/doc/foo">
    <redirect:write 
select="@file">
      
<foo-out>
        
<xsl:apply-templates/>
      
</foo-out>
    </redirect:write>
  
</xsl:template>
 
  
<xsl:template match="bar">
    
<foobar-out>
      
<xsl:apply-templates/>
    </foobar-out>
  
</xsl:template>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>
