Spring Batch + XSL Transformation post writer

[Niall Loughnane]

Hi,

I am using Spring Batch to export XML content in a Database table to a single XML file,

The Spring Batch has a reader to read the data from the database and a FlatFileWriter to write xml database field content data to a xml file,

But at the top of the exported XML file needs to be the number of items in the XML file,
I am thinking of using XSLT and xPath for this but is there any good way for doing this within Spring Batch?

Thanks,

Niall
