Hi Michael, HTTP requests work but performance would be hurt. It's actually quite simple. I'm using a process class which allows me to capture StdOut and StdErr, and that runs a process in the background. The background process can be anything that runs via a command line, and the best is that it runs completely independent (in Windows this just means on another thread). While threads compete with each other for CPU time, when the process runs, the main thread just waits for its output, which means that the child thread can use all CPU available, thus maximum performance is guaranteed (under normal circumstances and no other tasks running assumed). As said, I'm still finishing up things, but I may be opensourcing this project eventually (if there's enough interest in it of course). For developers, it will mean instant support for XSLT2, XPath2, and XQuery1 on the .NET platform native to the processor being used. I think that's the main benefit, and the other is that support for each processor can be maintained in the same channels.

I'm interested to know more detail about the way you are communicating between the .NET client application and the Java server application. I've suggested in the past that people should do this by running the transformations in a web server and invoking them by means of HTTP requests, but you seem to be going for a closer coupling than this. Any chance of a more detailed write-up? Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
