Re: Aw: Re: XSL transformation with Ant: sorting a list

Al,

It wasn't apparent to me why there'd be a difference...

If you are using the same JVM and simply executing the XSL differently, I don't see why not...

I mean once you kick of the XSL I can't imagine there is something different in running from Ant vs your Java app.  I spent a number of years on an ESB team doing mostly XSLTs (and XSDs) - I always used Ant to test even though we ran the XSLTs in our environments from Java.  I never noticed any difference that way at all.
