Subject: Re: [xsl] XSL vs. JSP... From: "XML Everywhere" <host@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2001 12:17:25 -0700 |
Basically I want to generate a form from an XML document. The number of form fields might be static but the XML document may contain information such as the user's name and display preferences. If you want to take full advantage of JSP's features you're stuck generating JSP-specific tags which requires a recompilation. The way around the recompilation step is simply to process form fields yourself when the form is posted back. JSP can hide this complexity from the developer but only if the JSP code/tags are statically generated rather than dynamically generated. For example, let's say want to change the background color of a form via an XML document, or change fonts, switch to German, etc. Generally you're getting into tricky territory any time you want to generate anything inside a <FORM> tag. This generally works (there are some dynamic and some static parts of the page): <% run XSLT here.. %> <FORM> ... hard-coded form stuff here ... </FORM> <% run XSLT here.. %> This doesn't: (it generates the entire page on the fly): <% run XSLT here... %> In the first case, the form fields are essentially hard-coded (or contains hard-coded JSP code). The form elements are not generated as in the second example. Please let me know if you need more information. In my opinion, anything you can do to support XSLT-generated web sites efficiently is a good thing. I think Microsoft made an error in judgment by not supporting XSLT more in ASP.NET. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart" <Eduardo.Pelegrillopart@xxxxxxx> To: <host@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <Eduardo.Pelegrillopart@xxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 11:51 AM Subject: re: [xsl] XSL vs. JSP... Hi. Can you tell me more about the situation you were addressing? I am interested in seing good support for this type of things in using JSP / taglibraries...
