The processing instruction : <?xml-stylesheet href="doc.xsl" type
="text/xsl"?> tells the processor to use the style sheet of doc.xsl to
transform this xml document(or jsp).
To do conditional processing dependent on the client, you need to do some
logic in the jsp to figure this out, and display the appropriate processing
instruction.
I have implemented the appropriate logic in a custom tag that I am
attaching to this email. It has been available at orionsupport.com for a
little bit, but alas, no longer.

>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I would be interested in knowing how to even use an XSLT engine! I know I
can get JSP to output XML with a header, but how do I actually pass the XML
to the XSLT engine, and how do I specify I want HTML or WML output? Is it a
servlet, and you just call upon it somehow from a JSP page or when a
request is made, inside you grab the page using a URL connection to get XML
output from the JSP page, then pass it on to an XSLT engine somehow? I
guess I should buy a book on this topic..but I was hoping it would be easy
enough to figure out.
Thanks.

Subject: XSLT processors
I have been using Xalan and JAXP as XSLT processors for the past
little while, and have recently become aware of Saxon as well. I was
wondering if there is anyone out there who has used all three (or at least
some combination) at various times who would be willing to tell me what
differences there are between the three re: processing efficiency, ease of
use, documentation, community, etc.
Thanks,
