RE: pre process xml that is imported via document()

>i need to pre process file2.xml before it can be processed in my main
xslt [using document()]

document() needs a valid file path, so I guess the only option with your
current setup is to write the result of the 'pre process' to disk and
then run the main transformation.

Of course, depending the weight of the pre-processing to be done, you
could probably do it all within a variable in your main stylesheet. (if
you post some sample data and a sample result, someone will let you
know)

Subject:  pre process xml that is imported via document()


ENV: Saxon,

This is my processing structure:

file1.xml                file2.xml
    \                            /
        \                    document('file2.xml')
            \            /
            processing xslt

now i need to pre process file2.xml before it can be processed in my
main
xslt

file1.xml                        file2.xml
    \                                    /
        \                            pre process
            \                        /
                \                    document('file2.xml')
                    \            /
                  processing xslt

How can i do this in one go. I don't want to call saxon twice.

The pre processing should add some nodes to file2.xml

Thank you for any feedback,
Joeri
