Unless you particularly want to see XSL do the heavy-lifting, we have a tool that meets your challenge (as I understand it). Our XSLServletPreview combines templates (HTML or XML) 1) with database values; 2) with one another; 3) with stylesheet. In that order: XSL doesn't come in till (3). Simple example, HTML: top.html >>>>>>>> once no SQL >>>>>>>>>> side.html >>>>>>> repeat or omit as needed SQL >>>>>>>>>>>>> middle.html >>>>> repeat or omit as needed SQL >>>>>>>>>>>>> bottom.html >>>>> once no SQL >>>>>>>>>> Example with XML and XSL: this.xml >>>>>>> SQL or no >>>>>> that.xml >>>>>>> SQL or no >>>>>> theOther.xml >>> SQL or no >>>>>> aStyling.xsl >>>> Again we include, repeat, or omit each (top, side, middle, bottom, this, that, the other) as needed, depending on database results. You wrote: > Scenario 2: > ...create a new "document" for every entry... XSLServletPreview also includes, repeats, or omits entire documents this way, depending on database results, and then unbatches them. Don't let the name worry you: no servlet engine or web server needed. Uses IBM XML4J parser and LotusXSL v17 (new in late May). Does that meet your challenge?
