Dave,
ok. This is what will work.
Use a jsp or a servlet to emit an xml document. The content/type must fit
the type of document. So if its an xml document (which xsl documents are),
the type should be text/xml.
A url to the servlet or the jsp will produce a document which is an xsl
document. So if whatever needs an xsl document, you refer to the document
with the url, and Orion will magically emit the xsl document as you wanted.
We use this technique with svg documents all the timme. There is an example
of this in the javasoft site for xml and jsp.
As far as I know, you can't put the jsp tag language directly in a xsl file.
(That would be jsl ;)= ).
Regards,
The elephantwalker

Thanks for your reply Joe and Kesavk.
Wheb I tried to put JSP inside of an xsl in Orion (even after changing
extention to .jsp) I get the following error:
Source XML Error: Use "<" for "<" in attribute values.
Any suggestions?
