Dear All,
I have a project ( jsp and sevlets ) in which I am using xml
and xslt to generate very complex reports.Althogther there are about
300 reports. I am using one xsl file for data input page and another
for print ready report. ( html only ). So I have to store 600 xsl files for 300 reports !!.
One stylesheet for each page is indeed not handable. We started our first Cocoon project with this approach - but with far less than 300 stylesheets, maybe 25. For current projects we only use one stylesheet that fits all. The input must be more structured then of course.
I am trying to replace this framework with cocoon and fop ( for
print ready pdf ). Is it possible to generate complex, individual reports
using cocoon dynamically ? That is , I want to avoid storing the style shhets
statically in the server. ( instead, have as database design to store the xsl-fo information for each report ) If there are any cocoon gurus around, please
reply about the feasibility of this project. ( which framework to use
like jsp , xsp..
Yes, Cocoon sounds perfect for this job. For details some more information is probably needed. What's the input, what is "complex", where is the data stored and so on. For pure data retrieval XSP might be sufficient (ESQL [1]). I would not recommend JSP for low support reasons.
