Fw: getting the transformation results as a string ( XT )

[Paul Tchistopolskii <paul at qub dot com>]

I feel that  I'm missing something and probably there is some 
simpler way?

1. It depends on what part of XT you want to use ( there are 2 engines 
inside XT, one is om-based and another is dom-based ).
 
 2. The basic solution should be to use FileDestination, redirecting 
 the output into ByteArrayOutputStream, I think. Another way could be to 
 assign OutputHandler that will capture resulting stream of 
 SAX events  and then accumulate those events in your 
 string or byte array.
 
 3. Also, I think you could place the transformation into the variable 
 and then play with produced result-tree-fragment ( passing it to your 
 extenstion function for example ).
 
 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">
 
<xsl:variable name='result'>
<!-- transformation starts here -->
<A>
<xsl:value-of select="a"/>
</A>
<!-- transformation ends here -->
</xsl:variable>
 
 <!-- $result now contains  <A> </A> tags  -->
 
 <xsl:copy-of select="$result"/>
 
 </xsl:template>
 
 </xsl:stylesheet>
