x:tranform and no stylesheet

2002-01-28 Thread Matt Raible

Is it possible to not specify a stylesheet for the x:transform tag - so it
renders with the browsers default stylesheet?

Hi Matt.  I might be misunderstanding the question, but if you want the
browser to render a document, why transform it on the server with
x:transform?  And if you're going to transform it with x:transform,
what mechanism is in place for the server to learn of the browser's
stylesheet?

Yes, the browser's stylesheet in IE is the collapsible tree.  The colors are
all applied via a default stylesheet that resides on the OS.

If you spit out a XML document directly to a xml-accepting browser, it will
automatically apply the default stylesheet.  I'd like to be able to specify
a variable into my JSP page that tells don't transform and then nothing is
applied.  I guess I could put scriplet logic around my x:transform tags,
but I was hoping for a cleaner way.

I'd also like to be able to use the x:transform tag in the same way the
?xml-stylesheet? declaration is used.  It allows you to specify the
media=wap for instance, and will apply this stylesheet for a wap device.

?xml-stylesheet href=html.xsl type=text/xsl media=html?
?xml-stylesheet href=wap.xsl type=text/xsl media=wap?

What I'd like to do is mimic the above behavior using the x:transform tag.
I tried to come up with examples, but couldn't figure out a way to do it.
The main problem is that x:transform has to wrap the xml document - unless I
was to have separate documents that did the transformation.  Then I could
have:

c:import url=/pages/jspWithXML.jsp var=xml/
c:import url=/styles/html.xsl var=html/
c:import url=/styles/wap.xsl var=wap/

x:transform source=$xml media=$html/
x:transform source=$xml media=$wap/

?

I don't know, I have a client that wants to use XML and XSL to render the
client - so we can plug a WAP interface on later by defining a new
stylesheet.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that if I wrap my
xml-emitting JSP's with the x:transform tag - I still feel like I'm locked
into one XSL stylesheet.

Any ideas?
