Uwe,
Thanks for responding. I think I'm starting to get it. What I'm a
little confused about is the necessity to call the TurbineXSLT service
from within some java code - in your example a tool. It looks like the
transform method (of what class?) is a thin wrapper around the
TurbineXSLT service. I assumed going into this that the TurbineXSLT
service (or any service) would be available using Velocity.
In your example I have two questions (and now you will see what a noobie
I really am :) ).
1) where did $session come from?
2) once I've made the call from a template then how do I use it?
Presumably the string will be fully formed HTML output, so it wouldn't
really do to make it part of an existing template which would generate
it's own head, body etc.
I hope these questions are clear.
Thanks,
Dan
