Subject: Re: how to avoid losing data when the transformation fails

Is that an XSLT problem in that the XSLT processor really reads and writes the same file in a single transformation?

Or should your "script" somehow note that the XSLT failed to produce a normal result and in that case not overwrite the input?

Sorry for not having been clear. The situation is that, when I call Saxon, the source and the output are the same file:

java -cp "/home/wolfhart/Programs/Saxon/saxon9he.jar" net.sf.saxon.Transform -s:biblio.xml -xsl:new_biblio.xsl -o:biblio.xml

So, when new_biblio.xsl fails because of an unforeseen error (often due to external data not having the expected form), I get a truncated or empty biblio.xml.
