Given the following input document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response TYPE="Table">
<data>1</data>
<data>15.2</data>
</response>
The output of the transformation could be directed to a Chart, or
To a Table, depending on the TYPE attribute.
Chart has ABChartData.dtd, and Table has ABTableData.dtd.
In the xsl, I want to do something like:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="response/@TYPE='Table'">
<xsl:output doctype-system="TableData.dtd"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:output doctype-system="ChartData.dtd"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
I get an error saying the tag <xsl:output> is not allowed in this location.
Questions:
1. How can this be done?
2. I am using Xalan Java API. Is there any way
to pass the value of doctype-system attribute to the transform?
Assuming that I am able to determine the value through some
other means before doing the transform.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Further information:
The API for supplying the xml (after transformation)
to Chart or to Table requires that the XML be of the form:
<!--For Chart -->
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE ABChartData SYSTEM "ABChartData.dtd">
<ABChartData Name="Item Code vs Price" >
<PointLabel> Mercury </PointLabel>
<Series>
<SeriesLabel>Price</SeriesLabel>
<XData>1</Xdata>
<YData>15.2</YData>
</Series>
</ABChartData>
<!--For Table -->
<?xml version="1.0" >
<!DOCTYPE ABTableData SYSTEM "ABTableData.dtd">
<ABTableData >
<ColumnLabel>Item Code</ColumnLabel>
<ColumnLabel>Price</ColumnLabel>
<Row>
<RowLabel/>
<Cell>1</Cell>
<Cell>15.2</Cell>
</Row>
</ABTableData>
