Hi, I am trying to transform an XML Document object in Java. However, it requires 2 transforms as each of them is complicated and needs to be generic enough for use by different XML strings. So I have an XML string and two XSLT files. Currently, I am using the Java transformer to perform both the transforms one after another. However, I was wondering if there is a function within XSLT that would allow performing the second transform on the result of the first transform without having to resort to multiple calls from within Java. Thanks a lot. Jay Badiyani

  The XSLT and XPath specs at w3.org/TR have complete lists of available function calls. I/O specific calls like this are not provided, so you'll have to look into the extension functions of the XSLT implementation that you're using. Several provide what you describe.
