Subject: Re: [xsl] Asynchronous transformation in a (Java) Web app From: Martynas Jusevicius <martynas.jusevicius@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2010 23:59:10 +0200 |
This article describes something similar: http://www.devx.com/xml/Article/34677/1763/page/4 So I think I'll just try making my version of XSLTRunnable and use Executor to run it, and then just start the whole thing directly from doPost() method in my servlet -- not sure how this part will work out though...
