Re: multiple outputs

thanks for your answer but i will try to rephrase the problem

[Input] -> {XSL}      ---->  [Good data]
                                 ---->  [Bad data]
                                 ---->  [Exception data]
                                 ---->  [Log file]

here based on some filter conditions which can be applied at any hierarchy
multiple outputs need to be rendered.

Is it possible from a single xsl or transformation needs to be applied
different number of times for as many outputs desired?

processor is xalan 2.

> It's not clear from your message, but I think you are looking to serialize
more than one document from a single transformation. This is not provided
for in XSL 1.0. Some processors implement this as an extension, so whether
or not this can be done depends on which XSL processor you use. How the
extension is called will vary from processor to processor, so check the docs
on yours to find out if this is possible and how it is done. This is a FAQ,
so search this list's archives for answers.

<xsl:for-each> in your stylesheet, I surmise that you are relatively new to
XSLT. You will be well served to spend the time to incorporate XSLT's
programming worldview into your own thinking. Search the archives for "push
model" and "pull model". XSLT is more like SQL than it is like C. That is to
say, your templates should describe what is to be done and not how to do it.
The primary use <xsl:for-each> is to permit sorting rather than to loop
through sets of elements as you would in an imperative language.
