Oh...sorry, I was responding to what I thought you were saying. I was
trying to solve two major problems:
a) can't run XSP/XSL pipelines outside Apache
b) can't execute XSP files in a subrequest (e.g. bring in dynamic content
through an XSL document() call)
I was talking about (a), you were talking about (b). I solved both by
getting out of AxKit, sadly. I think (b) would be fairly easy to do,
however. We would begin by removing the "if I'm in a subrequest, don't
process" code in AxKit.pm. We'd also need to have the system keep track of
whether it's an inner or outer instantiation of AxKit, and have a special
rule in the pipeline definition that says "quit at this point if I'm a
subrequest".
I'll expand on that last step by describing an example pipeline:
FOR foo.xml:
- process it as XSP if it's XSP
* quit here if we're in a subrequest
- run it through foo.xsl
- run it through layout.xsl
That * rule would have to be added.
