I'm not sure if we will be using perl or java.  We already have a lot of our web
server scripts in perl, so if its simple and clean to use perl, that would be
optimal for now.  I haven't really gotten deep into XP or XT yet, but my
somewhat inadequate understanding of them is that they basically parse XML and
XSL and provide data structures to interact with.  I guess what I'm hoping to
find is something really clean that automatically takes XML, applies the XSL
stylesheet provided and spits out whatever the stylesheet says to spit out....in
this case HTML......without having to change or add a single line of java or
perl.  If we want to modify the output HTML, we just modify the stylesheet.

Does that make sense?  Is that what XP and XT do (without having to write any
code in perl or java)??

What about lotusXSL from IBM in combination with their XML4j?

Doesn't Micrcosoft have some kind of java bean for this sort of thing as well?
I thought they produced one a while back to be used until IE5 came out?

What about the Saxon stuff?
