Hello, Ryan -- We're doing something similar in our setup. We create digital objects that contain a XSLT datastream, and then link the xml *object* to be transformed to the XSLT *object* (not XSLT datastream) in the xml object's RELS-EXT. We have a disseminator that links to a webservice which reads the RELS-EXT, retrieves the XSLT datatstream, and does the transform.
It's been some years since I set it up, so I may not have the details right. Let me know if you'd like more info. -- Scott On 01/31/13, Ryan Ward wrote: > > > We have a large number of items in our repository that all need a common XSL > applied to them for certain kind of display.
