So it's better to use the Standard taglib to process a XML file against a XSL file... instead of using the xtags library!?

XTags was a custom offering of Jakarta Taglibs long before JSTL came out. It influenced JSTL's direction as far as XML processing was concerned, but the XML library of JSTL is not identical with XTags. There is no formal relationship between XTags and JSTL. JSTL is standard, so it bears some advantages against a custom offering, as long as it meets your needs. There will be books, optimized implementations, and wide adoption of JSTL's tags. "Standard Taglib, Release 1.0" is a fully compliant implementation of JSTL, distributed through Jakarta Taglibs. Other vendors (including Sun) have their own implementations available, or will shortly. For instance, I believe the Resin folks are working on a JSTL implementation. -- Shawn Bayern "JSTL in Action" http://www.jstlbook.com (coming in July 2002 from Manning Publications) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
