Thank you guys for your replies. I am somewhat confused too. I am just starting to graze the surface of RSS. Right now my velocity templates are created straignt into HTML well via MVC using struts, OJB, database. Maybe this is a good reason to use XML transforms? I guess I have a bit of research to do. I imagine using a seperate servlet to generate off of a different template might do as well. Don't know a best way general method for handling this.
