Re: Multiple Output Documents with XSLServlet

["Kirk V. Hastings" <khasting@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Edd,

I knew it was a dumb question, but wanted to make sure there wasn't a 
better approach to generating frames with a servlet. I've implemented the 
method you suggested (passing a parameter to control what templates are 
used) and it works very well. However I worry that the inherent 
inefficiency of this approach is going to be a problem when I go live with 
my "document navigator". I suppose if I cache the stylesheet that will help 
a little, but XT is still going to have to be fired up three times for each 
view of the document...
