They'll probably defend by saying you can write a renderkit that produces XML and put an XSL behind that. They won't mention the re-parsing needed in between though. Or the fact that you'll have to do it all yourself. OTOH, renderkits not only abstract the rendering but also the decoding of request parameters, so that's a point where they are more flexibile then Woody, where it is all hardcoded in the widgets (and assumes HTML-like behaviour). -- Bruno Dumon http://outerthought.org/ Outerthought - Open Source, Java & XML Competence Support Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
