Roger --
I'm using the examples in the UseXMLFilters example, since I don't have
your exact details. Instead of
XMLFilter xmlFilter3 = saxTFactory.newXMLFilter(new
StreamSource("foo3.xsl"));
on the "last" filter, create a Templates object instead like this:
Templates template3 = saxTFactory.newTemplates(new
StreamSource("foo3.xsl"));
A Templates object is a "compiled" representation of your foo3.xsl
stylesheet. Then, get the output properties designated by the foo3.xsl
stylesheet which will incorporate your xsl:output options:
Properties myProps = template3.getOutputProperties();
Now, you can build your serializer with the proper properties:
Serializer = SerializerFactory.getSerializer(myProps);
Finally, create your XMLFilter from the same compiled Templates object:
XMLFilter xmlFilter3 = saxTFactory.newXMLFilter(template3);
And you can continue with your existing code:
serializer.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outputFile));
xmlFilter3.setContentHandler(serializer.asContentHandler());
xmlFilter3.parse(inputSource);
