Transforming from the Command Line with Xalan

To run a transform from the command line, you initiate a Xalan Process class using the following command:

java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process 
  -IN article3.xml   -XSL article3.xsl 

Note: Remember to use the endorsed directories mechanism to access the Xalan libraries, as described in Compiling and Running the Program.


With this command, the output goes to System.out. The -OUT option can also be used to output to a file.

The Process command also allows for a variety of other options. For details, see http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/commandline.html.
