Currently I'm calling a database subroutine (in an Action) that returns a
list of keys, and then using a DAO in a loop to build up a List of Java
objects that contain the data I need to display. That List gets put in
session scope and then it's off to the resolution.jsp to display it with a
<logic:iterate> tag.
*IF* I changed the database subroutine to return XML, what would I do with
it? I'd have something like this coming back:
<content>
<person>
<name>John Smith</name>
<birthdate>05/25/1965</birthdate>
<status>PP</status>
<address>
123 State Street
City, ST, 12345
</address>
<source>ALUM</source>
<reunion_class>ML1999</reunion_class>
<reunion_class>ME2002</reunion_class>
</person
</content>
(I'm unclear on how to format the address which has multiple lines.)
Anyway, would I put that String in session scope? And then... I'm just
reading about XSLT now. Can someone point me in the general direction of
which Struts (or other) taglibs I might need? I'm on Tomcat 4.1.12 & a
recent Struts nightly build with the -el tags.
Thanks in advance,
