public class Redirect
extends java.lang.Object

Implements three extension elements to allow an XSLT transformation to redirect its output to multiple output files. You must declare the Xalan namespace (xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt"), a namespace for the extension prefix (such as xmlns:redirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"), and declare the extension namespace as an extension (extension-element-prefixes="redirect"). You can either just use redirect:write, in which case the file will be opened and immediately closed after the write, or you can bracket the write calls by redirect:open and redirect:close, in which case the file will be kept open for multiple writes until the close call is encountered. Calls can be nested. Calls can take a 'file' attribute and/or a 'select' attribute in order to get the filename. If a select attribute is encountered, it will evaluate that expression for a string that indicates the filename. If the string evaluates to empty, it will attempt to use the 'file' attribute as a default. Filenames can be relative or absolute. If they are relative, the base directory will be the same as the base directory for the output document (setOutputFileName(outFileName) must be called first on the processor when using the API).

Example:

     <?xml version="1.0"?>
     <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"
                     xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt"
                     xmlns:redirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"
                     extension-element-prefixes="redirect">

       <xsl:template match="/">
         <out>
           default output.
         </out>
         <redirect:open file="doc3.out"/>
         <redirect:write file="doc3.out">
           <out>
             <redirect:write file="doc1.out">
               <out>
                 doc1 output.
                 <redirect:write file="doc3.out">
                   Some text to doc3
                 </redirect:write>
               </out>
             </redirect:write>
             <redirect:write file="doc2.out">
               <out>
                 doc2 output.
                 <redirect:write file="doc3.out">
                   Some more text to doc3
                   <redirect:write select="doc/foo">
                     text for doc4
                   </redirect:write>
                 </redirect:write>
               </out>
             </redirect:write>
           </out>
         </redirect:write>
         <redirect:close file="doc3.out"/>
       </xsl:template>

     </xsl:stylesheet>
