I fear I didn't understand the question correctly, how do I read the
files back in?
I call the xslt processor from within a java program and write
the resulting fo files to a specific directory. Then I loop
through the directory and send every file to the fo processor. So
there is no 'piping', just writing a file and reading a file.
Piping is what I would like to do, but I have no idea how?
Hence my question.
Yeah, I was just wondering how you worked around the absence of a
piping-mechanism...
Thing I noticed was that it's possible to have a scenario:
1 XML + 1 XSL --> n FOs (--> PDFs)
I don't really know for sure about other processors, but FOP doesn't provide
for a mechanism to collect the redirected FOs and would, when offered the
source XML and the stylesheet as input, only render the base FO, not the
redirected ones (--hence your workaround, I presume?)
One solution would be to 'catch' the redirected streams directly from the
XSL processor, buffer them, and have the FO processor starts up a parallel
rendering run for them, so the correlated 'files' (better: result-trees)
wouldn't even need to get written, but are serialized along with the main
XSL transformation result...
I'm afraid 'though, that I have no exact idea on how to go about that for
the moment.
Cheers,
Andreas
