[xsl] how to use Xalan redirect:write

["Kloeck, Erwin" <Erwin.Kloeck@xxxxxx>]

Hi, 

I don't understand Xalan extensions.

I want to append some text to an existing file and I do the following:

<xsl:stylesheet 
	version="1.0" 
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
	xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
      xmlns:redirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"
      extension-element-prefixes="redirect">

...
	<xsl:for-each ...>

	<redirect:write file="csv.txt" append="true">
		<xsl:value-of select="'some text'"/>
	</redirect:write>
...


This does not append the text to csv.txt but creates a new file every time, 
so that only the last entry is in the file.
What am I doing wrong?

Then, I use the namespace declaration shown above. The docs say, I should use

	xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect";

but when I do this, I get an error.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
