Thanks for the input. As I've said, I already have the site running under XML/XSL. I spent a lot of time with cocoon and I'm not sure that Turbine will work for me either. I want to introduce as few changes as possible, re-doing the display logic in Velocity will take some time and it is already done in XSL. Eventually what will probably happen is that the pages will be cached as HTML and the generation will only occur when the data changes - a fairly infrequent event. At any rate what I'm looking for is a more concrete how-to for this.
