Ah if only life were that simple.. No there is something weird with Xalan and assignment to default namespace. It ends up generating a SAX event that Saxon later chokes on. Still don't have all the details. Do know that given the 'right' set of circumstances even a superflous xmlns='foo-namespace' would result in an exception. Btw, wrt to serving up xhtml...

Heh, you had me wondering if I sent the wrong file... However I checked I sent the correct thing. Unfortunately this leaves me a bit confused. Isn't the latter ( editor just needs to edit his page ) still the case after my mods? That is, I made no changes to cherche.xhtml. Btw, it is very good that you sent that link. The follow up I referred to before was to include an attachment that would show how to do things the 'Presentation Server' way. After reading the article I am pretty sure that the 'Presentation Server' way and 'Eric's Way' are different ways of achieving common goals. _very_ roughly the mapping is something like XML content files (10% presentation + 90% data) --> model + XML specific layout (10% data + 90% presentation) --> view + XML generic layout (100% presentation) --> epilogue + XSLT file (90% logic + 10% presentation) --> epilogue ------------------------------------------------- (X)HTML. Where model, view, and epilogue are pipelines and part of the larger pipeline model --> view --> epilogue and the model brings some collection of xml documents into pipeline, the view takes care of any page specific presentation, and the epilogue takes care of general site presentation. Hopefully tomorrow someone here can put together that followup. > > I could generate the pipeline definition dynamically from the layout > page (ie, seeing that the author wants to include a search result, > create the pipeline that does the aggregation), but wouldn't it be quite > heavy?
