Well, as Catalyst works under MVC model, I thought that a best practice would be to use a view module although in this case, obiously, the view task is insignificant.

If you are serving up a static file and its xml why don’t you just serve that file statically based on path? Is the header content-type not getting set properly for that file?

I don't need to dinamically generate this XML content. I have searched in google but I don't find any catalyst view module for managing this case. I don't know if exists any module for generating XML output from a static file as, for example, Catalyst::View::XSLT module (http://search.cpan.org/~janus/Catalyst-View-XSLT-0.08/lib/Catalyst/View/XSLT.pm) does. That is, generate an output from a static file, in this case, an XML output. I am not finding much information about designing your own views in Catalyst, or at least, I don't see much flexibility. All examples I have found need to be generated, through the helper view, with TT template or any other templates. Is it possible to create your own view, with no template, and for example, in my case, read the output from a static file and send this output to the client? (I don't know exactly how Views works in Catalyst, though I have already read Catalyst tutorial and cookbook) Thanks in advanced, David Click here to report this email as spam.
