Re: providing style from dynamic XSL

[Tod Harter]

Well, yes, with static files it will, but if the XSLT is dynamic then 
its going to depend on the behaviour of the style provider. Generally 
one of the problems is that there is no real way for the provider to 
know if dynamic stuff changes. The document() and xsl:include/xsl:import 
should work fine since that processing happens every time the stylesheet 
runs, but if you construct the XSLT from XSP say then it seems somewhat 
more problematic. Anyway there are some cases where some configurations 
seem to give you stale style information. You just have to engineer your 
solution properly. XInclude in particular is vulnerable since that gets 
processed at document parsing time.

All true, but remember that AxKit caches the DOM trees of every 
stylesheet in memory, so 'dynanic' is more like 'whatever happens the 
1st time is what you will get until you restart apache', though some 
provider level hacking can fix that, unless I've missed some progress 
in that area since the last update to AxKit I got, cause 1.62 I'm 
pretty sure is pretty pig-headed abou this!


Interesting ....

a) I've always been doing this with caches off I think
b) wouldn't axkit notice that the file changed and recache????
