I think, you would get prompt answers for Xalan-J related questions on

You could consider moving to XSLT 2.0. It has an instruction
xsl:result-document for this requirement.

I'm having problems with xalan redirect extension. I have an xml file
from which I am extracting info to create a set of cue files to use in
audio editing. I need the output to be plain text, so use the following:

<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>



The xslt works fine if I use it to produce individual files. However, if
I use redirect:write to produce multiple files:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:redirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"
extension-element-prefixes="redirect">

   <xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>



   <xsl:template match="/">
       <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="//person">
       <redirect:write
select="concat(translate(substring-after(anumber, '200'), '.', '_'),
'._q')">

           <!-- code to produce output -->



       </redirect:write>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I get an XML declaration at the head of my output files. I've had a
quick read through xalan docs and cn't find anything to help. Has anyone
out there any advice that might help me solve this issue?

I have included the full xslt below.



Best wishes
