Leon,
Thanks very much for responding. Your offer of assistance with any
issues in XSLTService is appreciated. Hopefully one day I'll get to the
point where I will actually call the XSLTService :).
In your example you have:
TurbineXSLT.transform ("mytransform.xsl", reader, writer);
This is getting called from an Action? I assumed when I started all
this that I could call it directly from a screen using Velocity? What
would that look like?
Thanks,
Dan
