I dont fully understand the description of the features you
need, but if being able to use one IDE to do the full flow
from xml through xsl to fop and pdf in an effortless way,
including the possibility to debug xsl transformations, then
Excelon Stylus Studio is my candidate. It is however not WYSIWYG
- if you by that mean that you would specify a xml file and then
do WYSIWYG editing and have the editor generate the xsl stylesheet
for you.
Let me explain my situation a bit better.
I have an application that generates a massive ammount of data dyanmically
and stores it in an XML file. What I want to do is make PDF quality
reports / forms out of this data. To do this I want to create an XSLT
file that will generate an XSL-FO marked up version of the XML which
FOP can gobble up and gimme a PDF.
Since this all has to happen during -runtime- of my application, I am not
looking for an IDE / end to end solution; ie: the XSLT file is only
deployed with my app (XML is generated)
So... I am looking for a WYSIWYG tool that can assist me in making
a layout of my report and generates the XSLT file that will produce
the XSL-FO markup. This means that I -need- the generated XSLT file.
Most applications that I have looked at (ie: XSLFast) don't give you
access to the XSLT (in fact I am pretty sure that it doesn't even
generate it at all - I only see a binary file that it produces).
I'm not expecting an XSL-FO application to solve all of my problems..
I am expecting to have to make modifications by hand to the XSLT file.
But I thought it would save plety of time if I had a tool that can
let me visualize the output.
My alternative is to whip out a reference and start writing the
entire XSLT by hand using the FO vocabulary.
Thanks for your help.
amit.
