[jdom-interest] JDOM and XSLT

[Mani Doraisamy]

thanks. the problem in applying a stylesheet to the sub tree
is that, i might not need the child elements as well. it would
be too much of overhead to loop through the content and detach
the child elements. Also it should be able to specify till what
level i need nested children for XSLT.
I am thinking of creating a dummy Element which gets the actual
node and the number of the neting i need, in the contructor and 
recursively loop till the number of nesting.
i am not sure if this would create a problem though.

Saxon (http://saxon.sourceforge.net) can be up to 3 times faster than Xalan,

depending on your stylesheet, and is very stable.

XSLT processes an entire document. So the only way to apply a stylesheet to 
only a part of a document is to detach that part and make it a standalone 
document. You can then apply the stylesheet to this "small" document and 
attach the result back to the original document.

Hope this helps,
