Mixing components in different languages within the same application has been done many times before and will be done many times again. It's not an ideal answer, because it's always extra work to do the integration, but it's often the only answer there is. Consider implementing the transformation as a web service and invoking it from the client application via HTTP calls. The client need never know that the transformation is done using XSLT, let alone that it's done using an XSLT processor written in Java. > If that isn't a realistic medium-term option, then how to think about > using the work I've done in that sort of environment?

It's probably always true that if you work hard enough, you can code the transformation in XSLT 1.0 plus vendor extensions where needed. But the work may often be greater than the mixed-language solution. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
