Re: Is there any way to make this faster

Hi,

You are exactly right. In the init you can load all the XSL in some form of
cache in memory and use them for each transform. The pre-compiled XSLs will
be much faster than the current approach.

The way to do it is as follows:

//Init
//Initialization  - assuming that Length contains the number of XSLs to
cache
TransformerFactory tfactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Templates templates[]=new Templates[Length];

//For each XSL
templates[i]=tfactory.newTemplates(new StreamSource(__xslt));

//Run
//For each transformation
try {
        transformer = templates[i].newTransformer();
        StringWriter output=new StringWriter();
   transformer.transform(streamsource[i],new StreamResult(output));

} catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e.toString());


I hope this helps.
