  <P>The Xalan-Java distribution includes a number of basic sample applications. These samples are easy 
     to run, and you can review the source files -- all of which are brief -- to see just how they 
     work.</P>
  <P>To run the samples, do the following:</P>
  <OL>
    <LI>Set up your classpath (see above), including <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">xalansamples.jar</FONT></CODE> and (for the servlet) 
        <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">xalanservlet.jar</FONT></CODE>.</LI>
    <LI>Be sure the java executable is on your path.</LI>
    <LI>Go to the samples subdirectory containing the sample (use the DOS shell if you are running 
        Windows).</LI>
    <LI>Use the java executable to run the sample from the command line.</LI>
    <LI>Examine the application source and result files.</LI>
  </OL>
  <P>For example, go to the SimpleTransform subdirectory and issue the following command:</P>
  <P><CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">java SimpleTransform</FONT></CODE></P>
  <P>The sample writes the transformation result  to a file (birds.out). To see how the example works, 
     examine the source files: birds.xml, birds.xsl, and SimpleTransform.java.</P>
  <P>The extensions examples require additional JAR files on the classpath, and the procedure for 
     running the sample applet and sample servlet is different. For more information about all the 
     samples, see <A href="samples.html">Xalan-Java Samples</A>.</P>

  <P>org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process provides a basic utility for performing transformations from 
     the command line. You can use this utility, for example, to run several of the extensions samples. 
     The command line for most standard transformations is as follows:</P>
  <P><CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in <I>xmlSource</I></FONT></CODE><BR>
     <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-xsl <I>stylesheet</I> -out <I>outputfile</I></FONT></CODE></P>
  <P>where <I>xmlSource</I> is the XML source file name, <I>stylesheet</I> is the XSL 
     stylesheet file name, and <I>outputfile</I> is the output file name.</P>
  <P>If you want the output to be displayed on the screen, simply omit the -out flag and argument.</P>
  <P>You can use this utility to try out XSL stylesheets you have written, to make sure they do what 
     you expect with the XML source files they are designed to transform. The utility provides useful 
     messages if the source file or stylesheet is not well formed. For more information, see 
     <A href="commandline.html">Command-Line Utility</A>.</P>

  <P>You can start by using your own XML source files and XSL stylesheets with the sample applications, 
     which illustrate a number of the <A href="usagepatterns.html">basic usage patterns</A>.</P>
  <P>Here is the basic procedure to keep in mind when you set up a transformation:</P>
  <OL>
    <LI>Use the <A href="apidocs/javax/xml/transform/TransformerFactory.html">TransformerFactory</A> static newInstance() method to instantiate a TransformerFactory.<BR><BR></LI>
    <LI>Use the TransformerFactory newTransformer(Source stylesheet) method to process the 
        transformation instructions in an XSLT stylesheet Source (producing under the covers a 
        <A href="apidocs/javax/xml/transform/Templates.html">Templates</A> object) and generate 
        a <A href="apidocs/javax/xml/transform/Transformer.html">Transformer</A>.<BR><BR></LI>
    <LI>Use the Transformer transform(Source xmlSource, Result transformResult) method to apply the 
        transformation instructions (the Templates object) to the XML Source and produce the 
        transformation Result.<BR><BR></LI>
  </OL>
  <P>For more information about this procedure and its variations, see <A href="usagepatterns.html">Basic 
     Usage Patterns</A>.</P>
