You should subscribe to the Xalan-C user list and post your questions
there:

   http://xml.apache.org/mail.html

There is a sample in the Xalan distribution called StreamTransform which
shows how you can transform to a memory buffer.  Your code is not the way
to do it, as you are asking a potentially non-existent Writer to write to a
one character buffer.

I hope this post is acceptable.  I apologize in advance if it does not
belong here.

I am using the Xalan C parser to do my XML/XSL transformations.  I can
transform to a File with no problem.  What I need to do is get the
XalanResultTarget converted into a string.  Here's what I have done to do
that where "xmlOut" is the XalanResultTarget and theWriter is Xalan's
writer
class.

   char * str = "";
   Writer * theWriter = xmlOut.getCharacterStream();
   //THE NEXT LINE CRASHES THE APPLICATION
   theWriter->write( str, 0, theWriter->npos);

Whatever I'm doing crashes because I am "unable to read the memory".  Is
there another way to get my transformed XSL/XML into a 'string'?
