RE: [xsl] XSL manipulating two XMLs

["Laura Jenkins" <xsl_list@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

i Donno the exact solution for your question i am afraid. But I think of 
something here
1. XSL is always for a fixed XML structure. so by the time u write xsl, you 
need to have the XML ready with you. so it makes more sence to have the XML 
included into ur XSL .
Now if you want to Dynamically do this, Then u may consider something like 
this.
generate the both the XMLs in ur servlet and store it in some directory.
now you can make the XSL point to those files (xml files) and get the stuff 
rlling.With this, you would have dynamically generated XML files included 
into your XSL. You should make sure the name you give while generating the 
XML files are same as the once u call in the XSL. as long as this is 
maintained. you would have your XSL running for dynamically generated XML 
too
Here U only need to import one of those files because the other one would 
anyway be the source XML file for your transformation.
so try doing this.
