Hi all,

I've decided to tackle the implementation of performing the XSLT
transformation in the ServletTestRunner on the server, and have been
successful (i.e. it works ;-) ).

cool

However, that adds a dependancy on the TraX API

(javax.xml.transform.*)

and a decent implementation (aka Xalan). In JDK > 1.4 that comes for
free, but not in earlier Java versions.

So, question is, is it okay for me to commit that code and add a
dependancy on Xalan for the framework build? I guess it is, but want
to make sure I'm not messing up on my first day as a Cactus committer

I'm ok provided it will also work exactly as is for existing users (100%
backward-compatible), i.e. it will continue to work even if the
xalan/trax jars are not in the CP

I've got that now by factoring out the XSLT stuff into a separate class (XMLTransformer), and using reflection from the ServletTestRunner class to load the XMLTransformer class. Pretty ugly, but seems to work quite well.

able to output an XML file.

Something like a new "transform=true" HTTP parameter (or any better name
;-)) would be good I think.

Hmm, I'll add that then.
