I ran into the same problem and I decided to change my batch file so that it created a temporary XML file pointing to all the other XML files to include. BuildAll.Bat (with line numbering)------------------------------------------------------------- 1: @echo off 2: echo Building pages... 3: echo ^<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?^> > _build.tmp 4: echo ^<builds type="%1"^> >> _build.tmp 5: for /r %x in (*.xml) do echo ^<build file="file:/%x"/^> >>c:\mywebsite\_build.tmp 7: echo ^</builds^> >> _build.tmp 8: xt _build.tmp stylesheet.xsl 9: del /e _build.tmp > nul 10: echo Done. 11: beep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- Put this file in your root XML folder. Things you need to customize: Line 5: change c:\mywebsite\ with the path where BuildAll.Bat resides. Line 8: change to reflect the syntax of your XSL processor This will produce a file, called _build.tmp which looks like: _build.tmp-------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"> <builds type="release"> <build file="file:/c:/mysite/page1.xml"/> <build file="file:/c:/mysite/page2.xml"/> [snip] </builds> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- Then, you should modify your XSL file to handle <build> tags: stylesheet.xsl (part)------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- <xsl:template match="builds"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template> <xsl:template match="build"><xsl:apply-templates select="document(@file)"/></xsl:template> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- Run buildall.bat and voila!

There may be well over 500 files in there. Once a day these files are transformed with saxon 6.2. Although this goes well, it takes a lot of time. I have a feeling that is is not the transformation itself that takes a lot of time, but that the starting and closing of saxon is. let me show you some code from the batchfiles: 1.bat: --------------------------------------- for %%b in ("*.xml") do call 2.bat %%b CC rem. for each xml file that is found I call 2.bat 2.bat --------------------------------------- java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -o "%1-a" "%1" "convert.xsl" rem for each file that has to be transformed saxon/java is started and closed. Is there a quicker/smarter way of doing this? any help is appreciated Regards, Ronald (ps I tried Instant saxon, but that gives more or less the same results) XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
