I searched for examples for this.. apparently saxon has this but i could find 
info onhow to use


There's an example in the spec at

http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/qtspecs/specifications/xslt-30/html/Overview-diff.html#splitting-examples

(section 16.2, second example entitled "Splitting a Transaction File by 
Customer Account".)

We've started implementing this in Saxon; the implementation and testing are 
quite limited so far, but you're welcome to try it out.

The example in the spec creates a result-document for each group, and the 
thinking is that a smart implementation could append each item from the input 
directly to one of the output files as soon as its grouping key is calculated. 
If you do anything other than creating a result document, it's likely that the 
results from processing each group will be buffered in memory so they can be 
assembled in the right order when the entire input has been read.

I am reworking my xslts and i have seen that i am using
<xsl:for-each group select = "AnimalKingdomGroup/copy-of(.)" group-by = 
"groupName"/>
When i remove the template that does this , the end tags are copied fine.
I am thinking there should be something about the grouping . what is the best 
way to do this ? If i don't put copy of, then i know its an error that i am 
accessing the tree twice in same context.

But copy-of is also bad because animalKingdomGroup will be massive and i know 
that .
Any advices here ?
Thanks.

Ps: i am also making a repro of my code to upload in saxon bug list..

Your stylesheet may be exhibiting the same bug as listed on our web site, 
or it might be a different bug with similar symptoms. Give us the details, 
and we'll be happy to check it out. It could turn out be something 
completely different, like a failure to close the output stream. When we 
know what it is, we can start looking for a workaround.

We are always looking for more test cases, so please feel free to submit 
the problem case in a form that we can run.

Not always. Some problems are due to multi-threading, or to other effects 
like hashing that effectively randomise the order of execution, so don't 
always repeat the same way. But you'll spot that fairly quickly if you are 
disciplined about running repeatable and automated tests of your code.
