Hello,
I plan on using a DOM tree that is generated on the fly from internal data. meaning that in the beginning the DOM will consist of only a DocumentNode that knows how to get a list of children it has and generate ElementNodes from this data. My question is. Will xalan function correctly with this setup. The specifics I would like to know are.
1. I am going to base my dynamic DOM off the DOM classes from xerces. Will the xerces bridge classes cause any problems? Will they process all nodes in the xerces tree completely negating my dynamic generation.
2. Will xalan processing work correctly with a dynamic on the fly tree.
3. Will xalan try to look at all nodes in a tree to process a xsl? I understand that some xsl could cause this effect but I am interested to know if a correctly written xsl will only look at parts of the DOM I am interested in.
FYI: I am looking at a dynamic generation technique because our internal data set is very large and complex. From my tests this takes too long to convert to XML.
