XSLT Transformation from XML to CVS format

Question

I am using the following xsl sheet in conjunction with the XSLSample.java application delivered with xdk and cannot get the output I desire. Does Orcales xsl processor output text documents?
XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="ROWSET/ROWS[1]/*" mode="elementNames"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="ROWSET/ROWS"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="elementNames">
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() != last()">,</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ROW">
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:if test="contains(.,' ')">"</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:if test="contains(.,' ')">"</xsl:if>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() != last()">,</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
XML:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<CUST_ID>1000000009</CUST_ID>
<NAME1>Pineview Preschool</NAME1>
<ITEM>0000000007</ITEM>
<POST_DATE>01/02/2001</POST_DATE>
<ENTRY_TYPE>PY</ENTRY_TYPE>
<DOCUMENT> </DOCUMENT>
</ROW>
<ROW num="2">
<CUST_ID>1000000006</CUST_ID>
<NAME1>Cellular One</NAME1>
<ITEM>0000000008</ITEM>
<POST_DATE>01/02/2001</POST_DATE>
<ENTRY_TYPE>PY</ENTRY_TYPE>
<DOCUMENT> </DOCUMENT>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
Any help for this xsl beginner would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is likely that you are incorrectly using:
[b]DocumentFragment processXSL(xsl,xml)
instead of the other API:
void processXSL(xsl,xml,PrintWriter)
the latter allows the XSLT engine to do its <xsl:output> serialization behavior. The former does not.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thanks Steve,
I am now doing that. How can I get rid of the top level xml tag that prints out after applying the xsl sheet. I need a simple text file with just the data.
Thanks,
Jeff
