What I have done can be seen as SoC at rendering level. Because I think,
that XSLT is
a) not the language that a WebDesigner should unterstand and
b) I find it very strange when the (XML) data steers the rendering logic
I have developetd a custom XSLT template solution (google for 'Style-free
XSLT Style Sheets' and 'Template Languages in XSLT') that allows the use of
$var for the data binding. The logic (i.e. <my:forEach.../>
<my:if-exists.../>) is implemented with the well known <xsl:template
match="my:forEach-row/">. Using this approach the rendering template
(XHTML/FO etc.) is not cut into several pieces. The designer can implement
its stuff following the natural way, HTML pages are defined/constructed.
When he needs some data he has the $vars, when he needs some logic he use
the defined custom language elements (i.e.
<my:forEach-row><tr><td>$anyVar</td></tr></my:forEach-row>). So much to the
working things with XSLT, that is because of the limitations of XSLT no
generic.
When I discovered JXTemplate I
1st) saw that a lot of logic is already implemented there and
2nd) the data could be referenced by JXPath
So I looked for a way to substitute my non-generic-custom template
implementation with JXTemplate. That was my hope. And therefore I would need
to access the XML-SAX at transformation level.
But by the way, if I can reference #{$cocoon/.....} there should also been a
way to reference the XML-SAX as #{$xmlsax???/...} (sorry again, i am a very
java beginner)?
Thx for your reflection ... Raffaele
