Another option is the Jakarta xsl taglib if that interests you.
They have a variety of ways to point to your xml and xsl, I am pretty sure one allows
you to pull the xml string from the session and give a url to the style sheet and it
will transform for you.
I'm certain that it allows you to include the xml as the content of the tag and have
it apply the xsl to that body content. Here is an example that comes with the xsl.jar
I believe.
<xsl:apply xsl="/xml/employeeList.xsl">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<employees>
<employee id="123">
<first-name>John</first-name>
<last-name>Doe</last-name>
<telephone>800-555-1212</telephone>
</employee>
<employee id="456">
<first-name>Jane</first-name>
<last-name>Smith</last-name>
<telephone>888-555-1212</telephone>
</employee>
<employee id="789">
<first-name>George</first-name>
<last-name>Taylor</last-name>
<telephone>555-555-1212</telephone>
</employee>
</employees>
</xsl:apply>

Subject: Struts & XML
Currently I'm calling a database subroutine (in an Action) that returns a
list of keys, and then using a DAO in a loop to build up a List of Java
objects that contain the data I need to display. That List gets put in
session scope and then it's off to the resolution.jsp to display it with a
<logic:iterate> tag.
*IF* I changed the database subroutine to return XML, what would I do with
it? I'd have something like this coming back:
<content>
<person>
<name>John Smith</name>
<birthdate>05/25/1965</birthdate>
<status>PP</status>
<address>
123 State Street
City, ST, 12345
</address>
<source>ALUM</source>
<reunion_class>ML1999</reunion_class>
<reunion_class>ME2002</reunion_class>
</person
</content>
(I'm unclear on how to format the address which has multiple lines.)
Anyway, would I put that String in session scope? And then... I'm just
reading about XSLT now. Can someone point me in the general direction of
which Struts (or other) taglibs I might need? I'm on Tomcat 4.1.12 & a
recent Struts nightly build with the -el tags.
Thanks in advance,
