I think you have understood my question.
If I will try to do it with a client side transformation then I have the following restrictions:
The xslt generates a static html page. What I want is something like that:
I want the response of the JSF to include a header, a left panel and a right panel that contain dynamic content (for instance, jsf tags).
So I want the generated html of the xsl to the center area of the jsf response.
Is it possible to use xslt on the client side and put the generated html script in an area of the response html ?

I'm not sure I understand your question entirely, so let me see if I can better understand what you're trying to do:
First, you have the exams stored in xml files.
Then, you want to transform them into html using XSLT.
That part is easy to understand. My first criticism is that for advanced browsers IE 5.5+, Mozilla, XSLT can be done on the client, so you really wouldn't need to do any of the transformation on the server.
However, if you are dead-set on doing the transformation on the server, then I'm guessing that your question is how do you get the transformed HTML String that the XSLT produced into your JSF document?
Just use an <h:outputText /> with a ValueBinding to a property on your request bean that behind the scenes does the XSLT transformation and returns a String. Make sure that you have escape="false" set so that the output is not escaped.
If this is _all_ that the page does, JSF might be overkill for you.

I am planning to use JSF with XSL Transformations. What I want to do is the following:
I have defined paper exams in xml documents. I want to allow users to access paper exams by searching by date, course etc.
When the user selects a specified paper JSF should transform the paper (xml) to html utilizing XSLT.
As far I am able transform a xml document and I can hold the html script in a string variable.
How can I paste this html script in the response JSF?
Thank you in advance, Kostas
