Re: [Cocoon Users] Re: Xalan and Cocoon gives different result for some XSL

[Andrew Wat <cs...@cs.ust.hk>]

Hello,

I was trying to use a default XSL (like the IE5 one) which will pretty
print the XML to HTML on the server side for client like Netscape
Communicator 4.7 that does not take XML natively.

I hit the problem when I want to use Cocoon for this.

I am now thinking of for all XML with filename .xmls, the apache server
will use another servlet etc.  to pretty print it.

If there is already a similar sol'n, that would be appreciated also.

Thanks
Andrew

Be careful of security implications, though. That is, make sure you do not 
make this capability work such that if there is a file mumble.xml, you can 
see its source by pointing to mumble.xmls. This is a convenient scheme for 
certain kinds of debugging, but if you forget to turn it off, you are 
exposing your XML source to prying eyes. M$ did this in early versions of ASP.

Within the examples dir there is a file called view_source.xml i believe
that can do this for you... I think this can be easily transformed to a
servlet which does that always for you... when the extension of a file
is .xmls (like phps for php)...
