Transforming from the Command Line with Xalan

To run a transform from the command line, you initiate a Xalan Process 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 (page 128).

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.
