Re: How do you build your XSLs?
Yes, what you say makes lots of sense, but still doesn't answer the
question... :(
How exactly do you write your XSLT files??
Just a thought, though: the basic features of XSLT can be mastered by a
non-programmer. It's not that hard. So, IMHO, there can be a tool that can
do that too... (master XSLT basic features).

I use the One True Editor, also knows as XEmacs. In psgml mode it
offers syntax highlighting and auto-completion (pressing control-/
closes the current tag).
There is a mode called MMM (which I have yet to try) which allows
multiple major modes in a single document. The example provided is HTML
mode for the initial document, with JavaScript mode inside <script> tags
and CSS mode inside css blocks. In theory it should be possible to
create a definition for MMM where the main document is in XML mode, but
inside certain nodes (such as xsp:logic) Java mode is activated. This
would allow full syntax highlighting/indentation and symantic help in
both the XML and Java sections.

Not that I know of. We use XML Spy here for our XML/XSLT/XSP work. I've
been following the trend that the logicsheets that are shipped with C2 use,
which is to move most of the java code into a class module with static
methods, and just put simple function calls in the logicsheet. That way
you can write your class module in your favorite java IDE with all the
bells and whistles, and you have minimized the amount of java code in your
logicsheet.
If you find that you do have an overwhelming need to put a decent amount of
java code directly into the logicsheet, maybe JBuilder 5 has support for
that. I know that they do ship a version of C1 with the program, and maybe
it had support for XSP. As a last resort you could always use a JSP editor,
and use the JSP syntax for editing, and then change the JSP code-marker
tags to the XSP tags when you save the file. I think that'd be a PITA though.
As a last resort, if you want to invest a small amount of time into making
a solution for yourself, would be to check out the "Multiple Major Modes"
package for Emacs (http://mmm-mode.sourceforge.net/). I'm sure Emacs has
good support for Java code and XML (syntax highlighting for sure, but I'm
uncertain about code insight-type features), and using the MMM package you
can have multiple modes active in a single buffer. It was original designed
for use with the HTML::Mason perl package, which uses markers like <%perl>
and </%perl> to delimit code sections. I'm sure you could modify it to
check on <xsp:logic> and <xsp:expr>. With about 30m of work I was able to
get it to work decently with XPathScript, a perl-and-XML language for the
AxKit project.
Hope this helps :)

Problems with XML Spy begin when you are editing XSP pages - you have to
write all that Java code as text and you have no syntax highlighting, no
code insight and all other things that makes Java programming easier with
IDEs.
Are there any editor which support XSP/JSP like mixed syntax?

I played a little with Sylus - it looks much better than it was when I saq
it the first time and it supports Xalan-J too.

OK, Kot, that's a good idea - to integrate XMLSpy with Xalan as
transformer - I din't know it's possible - I should try that.
I already installed Stylus, but didn't activate the eval license yet.

Why don't you use XML Spy for transformation too? You can setup it to use
Xalan as the transformer. IE transformer is supported by default.
I use XML Spy 3.5 (registered version) to maintain all the xml, xsl and even
html files in the project. Although, it is not a visual XSL editor, it makes
XSL programming very convenient by all that automaticaly closing tags, tag
hints etc.

Take a look at the eXelon Styles. It is advertised as "The most

I can remeber at least 5 or 6 XSL tools just now and I think you'll find
much more tools if search for them. The problem is that XSL was standartized
only about 6 months ago.

Re: How do you build your XSLs?
Posted by Gritsenko <gr...@home.com>.
I personally edit XSL in XMLSpy eval version, the only functionality of
XMLSpy I use is XML validation, sp I don't miss a tag or closing bracket or
something like that. Otherwise, Notepad is as good a tool for editing XSL.
Then I run this XSL in pair with data-containing XML through Web browser
through Cocoon and watch the output in Adobe Acrobat.
Then I make corrections in XSL and run it again.
In parallel, I read :
Professional XML by Wrox Publishers
Zvon.org website
for XSLT and XSL:FO
details.
If there were an XSL IDE tool, it should take reading of these two sources
out of the process
(in other words, it should sense XSL and XSL:Fo syntax and prompt for it,
like autocomplete words, etc.)
To return to your question, I did'nt found anything resembling this
imaginary tool, thus I doubt it exists at all.
I doubt anybody will write this kind of tool, since the need in it is not
manifesting itself clearly.
It's like, hello, we have a new programming language, forget Java, we need
tools for it - and it's called XSL. How many people need it? Not 5 or 6
million, like Java or VB developers.
Sounds childish today, but will be more obvious in two years or so.
Viktor
