Thanks to all who have contributed to the discussion about using XML in Servlets so
far. To extend the discussino further...
My intention is to render the XML+XSL to HTML within the Servlet, rather than leaving
it to the browser to render. This avoids incompatibility with older browsers.
What I am trying to achieve is a "pluggable" user interface to my Servlet. I.e.
separating out the presentation from the logic. Eventually there may be several
different user interfaces (i.e. several different sets of XSL files), all running of
the same servlets (i.e. generating the 'same' XML data). I want to do this without
compromising the flexibility of the logic side, but without making the user interface
too complicated to redesign.
My main concerns are:
1) Performance. I don't want the rendering to become a bottleneck.
2) Which XML/XSL engine to use (currently IBM's xml4j seems a good contender)
Alternatively, I could forget about XML altogether. Can anyone suggest a better
mechanism to separate out the presentation? Would I be better off persuing JSP's?
Any opinions, experiences and/or general discussion...
Cheers
David Finch.
