[Xmltk-devs] Sorting a huge XML file

[Venkataramanaidu, D. (Dinesh)** C. ** <vd...@al...>]

Hello XML Toolkit developers,  

While looking for a tool to sort XML tags i hit upon
xsort utility in sourceforge. This tool impressed me very much after
my initial testing of this tool with sample XML files.
Now i am trying to use xsort utility against bigger XML files, 
and encountering a problem.

In the below XML template, if the total size of descendents of BLOCK1(or
BLOCK2)
exceeds ~100MB then running xsort on this XML file simply returns <TOP/>, 
while the same thing works perfectly fine when the  descendents 
size less than 100MB.(For my testing, I am just embedding XML files of
certain 
size as the descendents for each of the BLOCK.)


<TOP> 
  <BLOCK1 id="1"> 
    ......
  </BLOCK1> 
  <BLOCK2 id="2"> 
    ......
  </BLOCK2> 
</TOP>

Inputs from your side regarding this issue will be of great help to me to.
My advance thank for your inputs. 

Thanks,
Dinesh.V
