XSLTService with JSPs
Hi
I know the use of JSPs is frowned upon but...
Has anyone tried using the XSLTService with JSPs with success? Any pointers
[examples would be ideal] would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Hong.

The general idea of XSLT is very good. That is what Anakia is based on. It
is the XSLT spec/implementation which sucks. :-)

Hi Hong,
XSLT is also somewhat frowned upon, so I don't think anyone has tried the
double-frown :-)
As long as you can feed the XSLTService with XML input it will happile
transform anything you give it, regardless where it came from. If you can
divise a way to give it XML that came from JSP it will work.
