a need to create a xml document that does not contain short
empty elements like <a/> but instead like this <a></a>. I
know this is the same, but the parser of the target system
does not recognize the first version.
Bite the bullet. XML is a good thing because it's interoperable. If you have
a parser that isn't a conformant XML parser, throw it out and get a new one,
don't try to change the rest of the system to accommodate its weaknesses.
I use xalan or saxon.
Is there a way to control the kind of output in XSLT ?
No, but at the Java level there are facilities in Saxon to customize the
serializer by subclassing the various components; you can register a
SerializerFactory that causes your own custom components to be used in place
of the standard ones.
