updating data on the server using XSLT and XT servlet?

["Bart Stevens" <bart.stevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

Let's say I have an input XML file having a thousand of childs, as in

<contours>
    <contour>1</contour>
    <contour>2</contour>
...
    <contour>1000</contour>
</contours>

We run XT as a servlet, sending HTML to the client.

The client receives a form in which he can put data to give the server the
necessary information to add a new contour.

This data is to be posted to the servlet, and we want to append the new
contour to the original inputfile at the server.

Is XSLT the right tool for doing this job? It looks necessary that XT first
has to copy all thousand <contour>-elements to the result tree, and then add
the 1001-st contour...

We did not try it until now, but intuitively we think it is not a fast or
efficient method. Do you think we need another tool (fe. JSP...) or are
there alternatives to do this task?

Thanks,

Bart.
