[xsl] Transforming XML 'on-the-fly' / Dynamic XSLT???

["Nick Roberts" <nick_roberts5@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm currently investigating into a JAVA based application aimed to transform 
an XML document.

I understand XSLT and how it is used to transform XML pages, however, my 
current understanding is that an XSLT page has to be pre-written, with a 
pre-definition of how you want to transform the XML document.

What I want to achieve is some kind of tool, which will input an XML 
document, then transform this document based on arguments declared within 
the application. For example, once the XML document has been inputted into 
the system, you can view the current nodes and then say how you want to 
transform these.

As far as i'm aware, this would require some kind of method of 'dynamically' 
creating an XSLT page, without any kind of pre-definition of how the XML 
documents' required to change.

Sorry if i'm not explaining myself very well but I hope you can understand 
what i'm trying to achieve.

Thanks in advance,

Nick
