If that's the perceived complaint, wouldn't it be better to connect the model data to the view using a sax pipeline rather than passing around a dom or dom-like object, or even worse, a String? And the sax 'pipeline' (I assume you mean an InputStream?) is connected towhat? If your

I see what your I don't mean an InputStream, I mean a sax pipeline. sax is an event-based api for transferring xml data. In the typical mode, a sax generator, typically a parser, is given a ContentHandler object on which it will call methods (startElement(), endElement() characters(),

There are a couple of frameworks out there that endorse this idea, and there's certainly nothing in Struts that mandates the use of JSP. I think a person on this list has implemented something exactly as you describe with Struts. My .02: 1. XSLT is slower than JSP, varying upon the

We are finding Jaxen and Dom4j a quite effective match with XPath. We are using it for handling tree menus with having an action just pass back xml where the JSP checks the request header to see if the transformation can be done client side, else we pass it through JSTL tags server side. We

As alluded, the stxx extension does a nice job of this by integrating with Struts. Though, I'd say the idea of a completely seperate servlet (a la Velocity) sounds cleaner. http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/resources/views.html The Expresso/Struts framework also supports XML/XSL directly.

As Joe said, Struts doesn't mandate JSP. A more appropriate comparison will be JSP vs XSLT In this regard, both are scripting-oriented languages. Performance aside, I believe the selection is a matter of preference. At 07:28 am 05-09-2002, you wrote: Alright, so if the purpose of Struts
