i've done a few projects using Maverick and the Domify/XSLT pipeline now, and the other day i was struck by an idea:
an XSLT stylesheet consists of templates, often containing "match" parameters intended to react to the appearance of a particular tag (etc) in the XML that is being transformed. this is, in essence, "event handling". would it be insane to suggest that the HTTP requests be turned into XML and have the stylesheet actually contain the "controllers" (event handlers) in the scenario? their job would be to "transform" the http request into an "answer" in the form of XML and eventually HTML (pipelined). each template would be analogous to a controller. any interesting stuff that had to happen in the background could easily be handled by using the Java extensions to XSLT, such as those pretty abbreviated Xalan extensions. (ever played with those?) i guess i'm suggesting pulling XSLT up to the front for use in the controller function of MVC as well as in the view process. am i nuts? -- Beautiful Code BV Rotterdam, The Netherlands http://www.beautifulcode.nl _______________________________________________ Mav-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mav-user
