jdom (http://www.jdom.org) is a very good library for generating XML data dynamically, it allows you to manipulate XML documents at a higher level than just DOM. Also, you might want to have a look at Cocoon (http://xml.apache.org/cocoon) which allows you to easily combine Generators (to produce XML), Transformers (XSL files for example) and Serializers (XML, PDF using FOP, RTF, etc.) to create many formats dynamically. -- Bertrand Delacrétaz (codeconsult.ch, jfor.org) buzzwords: XML, java, XSLT, cocoon, mentoring/teaching/coding. disclaimer: eternity is very long. mostly towards the end. get ready.
