Hi,
Being new to the world of web applications and Struts, I'm still trying to
decide on an architecture to use for our application.
One of the things I had been hoping to do was to make use of some legacy
code that publishes XML from our database and then translates it to HTML
using XSL. However, it seems you can't use XSL to translate to Struts html
tags (or any JSP custom tags). So before I completely drop the idea of
using XML and XSL, does anybody know of any approach that would allow me to
use XML in the context of the Struts framework?
I thought of using Digester, but since this is all new to me, my first
impression was that the implementation would get to be too complicated to
make it worthwhile. I also ran into the Cocoon project in my wanderings,
which seems like a great solution if all you're going to do is builds
displays, but I've got to do some heavy duty editing and validating of input
data and I don't see how Coccon supports that. If anybody could provide
some suggestions on using these or any other approachs, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Vic
