OK...I didn't get to finish because some stupid key I hit sent my email
out..sorry..I'll finish in this one..
I am about to dive in to XML, XSL and all that good stuff soon. My
understanding is that you would want the JSP page to return XML, then apply
XSL via an XSLT engine to output HTML. To make JSP return XML you just add a
tag at the start of the JSP page..I forget what it is. The main thing to
remember is to use <br></br> or <br /> tags and stuff where only single tags
are used in HTML. If anyone knows for sure on how this would work..could you
give a couple of steps as to how to do this. My guess is that you have a
submission, link whatever go to a controller servlet, which then uses a URL
connection to get the JSP page output (in xml form) in a StringBuffer, it
then would pass that string data along with the selected XSL is then applied
via the XSLT engine and returns HTML output..which you put into the response
and send back.
Thanks for any help.
