[jdom-interest] Creating a pure text file using XSL

[Jay Burgess]

I've asked this question on an XSL list, and now it's not clear to me 
whether it's an XSL issue, or an issue with my use of JDOM.  Here goes:

I've got the following code snippet in my .XSL file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:param name="FILENAME"/>
<xsl:template match="page">
     <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="$FILENAME != ''">
             <p>http://YOURMACHINE/<xsl:value-of select="$FILENAME"/></p>
         </xsl:when>
         <xsl:otherwise>...

It outputs something like:

<p>http://YOURMACHINE/page1.html</p>
<p>http://YOURMACHINE/page2.html</p>
<p>http://YOURMACHINE/page3.html</p>

But what I really want is just a plain text file containing one URL string 
per line, without the <p></p>, like:

http://YOURMACHINE/page1.html
http://YOURMACHINE/page2.html
http://YOURMACHINE/page3.html

(Again, these aren't HREF's. They're simply URL strings, with no XML/HTML 
markup around them.)

Is this possible with XSL?

Here's the relevant Java code using JDOM, in case that's where I'm doing 
something wrong:

           JDOMSource source = new JDOMSource(new Document(element.detach()));
           JDOMResult result = new JDOMResult();
           XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter("    ", true);
           outputter.setTextNormalize(true);
           outputter.setOmitDeclaration(true);
           outputter.setNewlines(false);
           transformer.setParameter("FILENAME", fileName);
           transformer.transform(source, result);
           outputter.output(result.getDocument(), packageFile);

Finally, for reference, if I remove the <p></p> in my XSL file, I get a 
stack trace, which starts off like:
