Hi,
From reading the Xalan doco, there are two sugegsted methods for routing the output from one transformation into the input of a second:
the 'push' method using TransformerHandlers and the 'pull' method using XMLFilters.
Is there any info anywhere regarding the relative performance of these two approaches, and when one would be more applicable than the other? The only practical difference I can see from a coding point of view is that the TransformerHandler allow access to the underlying Transformer, which in turn allows you to pass parameters to the transformation - something I cannot see how to do with the XMLFilter method.
Regards,
Barney
