Ant's XSL only checks the primary XSL file for changes (and the source
XML - not xi:includes or file entities). It does not parse that XSL to
find xsl:import/includes to check if they have changed.
You could put the import/includes in the primary XSL or use force=true
on the xslt task.

(Using ANT 1.7.1 on a Windows XP SP3 machine)
Sorry about the not to obvious subject line but I'll do my best in
explaining the problem I've been having.
I'm using ant to pipeline a series of transforms on content
extracted from a db.
There is one main XSLT that does the bulk of the transforms. It's
built using called templates. Here it is in ANT:
<echo>fixArtistType.xsl</echo>
<xslt in="../doNotDelete/keep.xml" out="../temp/deleteMe.xml"
style="../xslChunks/fixArtistType.xsl" />
<echo>fixCountries.xsl</echo>
<xslt in="../doNotDelete/keep.xml" out="../temp/deleteMe.xml"
style="../xslChunks/fixCountries.xsl" />
<echo>getArtists.xsl</echo>
<xslt in="../doNotDelete/keep.xml" out="../temp/deleteMe.xml"
style="../xslChunks/getArtists.xsl" />
The last one is the main XSLT transform. I am overwriting the output
doc as I don't need it. I use it keep.xml as a dummy doc as I parse
a series of other XML docs to get my desired output.
What is happening is that even though I make changes to the called
templates that getArtists.xsl uses I get the following
G:\XML\cdCollection>step2
G:\XML\cdCollection>ant -f G:\XML\cdCollection\antTasks\getArtists.xml
Buildfile: G:\XML\cdCollection\antTasks\getArtists.xml
main:
[echo] fixArtistType.xsl
[xslt] Processing G:\XML\cdCollection\doNotDelete\keep.xml to G:
\XML\cdCollection\temp\deleteMe.xml
[xslt] Loading stylesheet G:\XML\cdCollection\xslChunks
\fixArtistType.xsl
[xslt] START fixArtistType
[xslt] END fixArtistType
[echo] fixCountries.xsl
[echo] getArtists.xsl
[delete] Deleting directory G:\XML\cdCollection\temp
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
When I make a change to the getArtists.xsl directly the total time
is 15 seconds and I usually get the output I expected, but now I
don't. The funny thing was if I added a space to the getArtists.xsl
anywhere I usually get the output I expected. I used to be able to
halt this by deleting all temp files, moving the result files to a
location on a server. In other words have a clean structure every
time I ran an ANT process. This all runs fine when using Saxon from
the command line minus ANT but don't want to really go that route.
So my questions are: Is ANT checking for a cached result set? Does
it check the files it is to use for the transform and check if they
are different from a cached set? How do I stop this behaviour?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
