RE: Tool to create XSL:FO without stylesheet from Java?

2002-02-15 Thread Giannetti, Fabio

Hi Roland,
have you tried FOA ? This is an authoring tool that helps you to
generate the XSL-T without knowing anything about it.
Please have a look: http://foa.sourceforge.net

You might want to look at jdom (www.jdom.org), a very nice DOM 
manipulation library for java.

Saxon (http://users.iclway.co.uk/mhkay/saxon) is also a good choice for 
this.

And if you do a search on google with "jdom saxon xml" you'll find a 
few more such libraries.

IMHO XSLT is worth learning - the combination of XSLT with java is 
killer for working with XML.
