Hi,

The general rule with XML pipelines is to ensure that every input/output is terminated. As such your solution is just missing a couple of things.

Firstly, in "dir2.xpl" you haven't specified an input parameter with name "dir_result". Without this the "#result" won't be pulled through the pipeline.

Secondly, once you define that input you will need to make sure that you use it. There are several options, but in a case where you don't really care about that input I would connect it to an "oxf:null-serializer" processor. This will effectively 'sink' the input.

With this done, the "dir.xpl" processor will run first because "dir2.xpl" is then dependent on the output of "dir.xpl".

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Neil
