Hello,
I have been given a task and I am looking for some helpful starting steps.
I have picked up a web-based project that has some content being created by reading a xml file into a stringbuffer, setting the content-type to text/xml and printing the stringbuffer to the printWriter out.
Inside the xml file there is a link to a stylesheet of type xsl (using a lot of XPath transformation stuff).
So the browser is doing all the work in presenting the display. The problem is this only works for IE Browsers. I do not like this approach, because the source is just xml, so it makes tracking of errors an issue.
Is there a way to have the server read the xml file which should include the xsl file and then throw that html to the browser?
I am new to xml/xsl. App is written as a servlet in Java.
Please advise of any directions.
Thanks,
Scott
