 I know that when I run an XSLT transform from the DOS command line, the contents of <xsl:message> goes to the command line. Sounds like you are using Saxon and it is actually going to the error port. You can redirect it with: 2>filename If I invoke an XSLT transform using, say, a Java program, where does the <xsl:message> content go? If there are multiple <xsl:message> elements, does their content all go to the same place? Where? It is implementation defined. The spec doesn't say where they go at all: http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-xslt20-20070123/#message "The xsl:message instruction sends a message in an implementation-defined way." Is it the same for every XSLT processor? Not at all. Saxon puts them to the error port. IE ignores all except those with terminate="yes". And even then I think IE truncates a long message. What happens to the in-memory result tree when the XSLT processor encounters an <xsl:message terminate="yes"> element? It is the same as a dynamic error: When a transformation is terminated by use of xsl:message terminate="yes", the effect is the same as when a non-recoverable dynamic error occurs during the transformation. I've found sometimes that if I've finished off the result tree document element and then run terminate="yes" that the file is okay, but I can't rely on that. I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . .
