Write to error log using redirect:write

Hi,

I am using xalan. In my stylesheet I have the following snippet to write
to std out when a specific error occurs.

<xsl:template name="class_error">
<xslaram name="class"/>
<xslaram name="attribute"/>
<xslaram name="error_msg"/>
<xsl:message terminate="no">
Class:<xsl:value-of select="$class"/>
Attribute:<xsl:value-of select="$attribute"/>
Error:<xsl:value-of select="$error_msg"/>
</xsl:message>
</xsl:template>

I want to collcet all these class errors in a file. I have tested to
create an error.log in my outputdirectory using

> <xsl:template name="class_error">
> <xslaram name="class"/>
> <xslaram name="attribute"/>
> <xslaram name="error_msg"/>
> <redirect:write file="{$output.dir}/{$error.log}" append="true">
> Class:<xsl:value-of select="$class"/>
> Attribute:<xsl:value-of select="$attribute"/>
> Error:<xsl:value-of select="$error_msg"/>
> </redirect:write>
> <redirect:close file="{$output.dir}/{$error.log}"/>
> <xsl:message terminate="no">
> Class:<xsl:value-of select="$class"/>
> Attribute:<xsl:value-of select="$attribute"/>
> Error:<xsl:value-of select="$error_msg"/>
> </xsl:message>
>
> </xsl:template>


But there is not error.log file created there. What am I missing or is
there a better way to do it?

cheers,

Stupid question, just to get it out of the way: You didn't show us what
you set those variables to. Are they initialized correctly and in scope
at this point in the stylesheet?
