Hi, my apologies in advance if this is an FAQ, but I couldn't find an answer in the documentation, so I decided to write to the list.
In the CMS project I am working on, we are considering using velocity to generate "pre-cooked" template based web pages, using XML as data source. In other words, the data to be published is essentially XML, with elements such as <article>, <headline>, <deck>, <body> etc, with some elements containing quite unstructured XHTML (i.e variable number of <p/>, <div/> etc), and other containing refences to other elements via id/refid. This data has to be processed to generate static HMTL files that are then pushed to Apache for serving them. Question #1 It seems that there are two main options: using XMLEasyBean or/and DVSL. Are there any other alternatives? Question #2 In both cases, it seems that XML namespaces are not supported (I am getting an empty output if my source contains namespace qualified XML elements), am I doing something wrong? Question #3 Any idea of performances, compared to say, XSLT? Thanks Alessandro Bologna
