For those interested in using XML and XSLT processing, here are a couple
of technologies you might want to take a look at:
* The latest version of JAXP (1.2) supports a new mode for XSLT
stylesheets that causes the transformation to be converted into
a Java class that is then auto-compiled (much like JSP pages are).
For repeated use of the same transform, this can make a huge
difference in performance. JAXP/1.2 is available as part of either
the Java and XML Pack, or the Java Web Services Developer Pack
<http://java.sun.com/webservices>.
* The JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL) contains a rich set of XML
manipulation tags for doing server-side XML processing within
JSP pages. This supports an approach for using existing Struts tags
(or the JSTL tags) to interact with your data model, and the JSP page
to provide the "container" for the dynamically assembled XML output.
JSTL requires a servlet 2.3 / JSP 1.2 container, however.
