I apologize for repeating myself, but you get the overhead on every request ( invokation of the servlet ). With to-nodeset(string) in the core what you can do is: 1. Place your servlet into XSLT exntension. myext.jar ( No coding required - you already have your java code in place ). 2. Call <xsl:variable name="list_as_xml_string" select="myext:query('select * from list_table')"/> <xsl:variable name="list_as_node_set" select="to-nodeset($list_as_xml_string)"/> And then do whatever you like with $list_as_node_set More. You can now use the same myext.jar with almost any XSLT engine written in java. To get it even more efficient, you can base your myext.jar on a 'native node-set' , but: 1. Because your list is short - you'l not get too much benefit from that. 2. That will be *much* harder to base your dataflow on the node-set and you'l not get the *that* much portability ( why - has been answered in my previous letters ). Rgds.Paul. PS. Where is document() here? ;-) XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
