If DVSL is the same thing as velocity templates with a few objects already in the context (I don't know - I am just guessing) then the Velocity templates can look much more like the target output - thus making them easier to maintain. Or so the theory goes - for XML to XML transforms XSLT is still better though. > I guess I'm more with Scott and his vindico proposal that uses > Ant instead of shell scripts (from my understanding of it). I had a peak at antgump which looks similar approach - what is the status of these two proposals? > The dvsl user guide doesn't indicate if/how I could have done this > with DVSL, but I'm by far no Velocity expert. Is it possible? easily ... i can't remember how of the top of my head though I believe that it is done by adding objects to context and using them (much like you can extend xslt via things like xalans redirect). -- Cheers, Pete ----------------------------------------------------- First, we shape our tools, thereafter, they shape us. ----------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
