I'm not sure I still have the code in my archives, I will look, but I actually had cause to tackle a problem just like this.
We had an application written by a consultant that is now long gone. He did it in MS technologies, using XSLT to transform XML to HTML to generate the output to the browser. Basically, some business logic classes execute, generate XML, then an appropriate XSLT is applied to the XML to generate an HTML response. Well, we're now an all-Java shop (except where we're not :) ), and so this app had to get converted. Converting the back-end logic proved to be a relatively simple matter (although the architecture is poor Strus - lots of logic in the Actions, but hey, it was quick and easy). I just had each Action stick the resultant XML in an associated ActionForm, and also put in the appropriate XSLT (read from a database) in the form as well. The presentation layer I didn't want to have to re-write, so what I wound up doing was finding a class that accepts an XML and XSLT string and returns a string of the XML transformed with the XSLT (I don't recall which unfortunately) and I wound up generating the HTML *in a JSP*. In other words, the JSP was pretty much just this: <html><head><title></title></head><body> <%=MyXMLTransformer.transform(myForm.getXML(), myForm.getXSLT())%> </body></html> All of the actions forward to this JSP, and that's that. If you are interested I can try and find some code for you, but I thought just explaining the basic approach might be helpful in and of itself. -- Frank W.
