Here's a quick snippet of what I'm doing currently to setup the transformer and dump out the properties:
//...... StreamSource theXsl = new StreamSource(file); StringReader sReader = new StringReader(outBuffer.toString()); StreamSource theXml = new StreamSource(sReader); StreamResult theResult = new StreamResult(out); TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(theXsl); java.util.Properties props = transformer.getOutputProperties(); props.list(System.out); //just dumping the properties right now for debugging purposes transformer.transform(theXml, theResult); props = transformer.getOutputProperties(); props.list(System.out); //..... What I'd like to do is have some conditional processing to see what the output method and/or media-type is going to be, so I can determine what to set the Content-type of HTTP header to. Also, you'll notice I retrieve the properties before and after the transform and they don't change. If I place an output element with a different method it will be reflected in the properties, so the property switch seems to be happening BEFORE the actual transform. So, as long as the XSL file contains the output element, I'm fine, but if it doesn't I can't tell what to do. What makes this worse is that the "default" properties look the same as if some set <xsl:output method="xml"/>. -Nathan Beyer -----Original Message----- From: Gary L Peskin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 1:21 PM To: 'Xalan-J-User (E-mail)' Subject: RE: Default Output Method in Xalan 2.2 Nathan -- You haven't shown where you're getting the OutputProperties from or exactly what sort of conditional processing you're trying to do. Since there is no xsl:output element, the properties switch has to occur at run time once the output can be examined after the transform is completed. We'll need a fuller description of what you're trying to do before we can intelligently address you're question. XalanJ 2.2 should be working fine in this regard, I believe.

Does anyone know if this is a known issue or if it's fixed in a later version?
