XML Application Servers

[Didier PH Martin]

Hi Matthew,

Matthew said:
I'm using XML as part of a Java servlet-driven framework.  The servlets
implement the control logic, and interact with EJBs which implement
business logic and DB access.

The servlet collects output data in a hash-table.  Then, I (plan to) run a
template-processor, which splices this data into existing XML templates,
constructing an abstract view of the page. The templating system here is
similar to HTML templating systems like FreeMarker and WebMacro.  Templates
don't contain logic, just layout.

Finally XSLT transformtion into HTML, rather than delivering XML to the
client.

Has anyone done something similar?

Didier reply:
We are building something similar to this. However, the XML server checks
the client's version and if the server detect that it is an XML server it
sends the XML+XSL or XML+CSS to the client. Otherwise the XML document is
transformed server side. We also use XML themplates that we call XSP
documents.

Cheers
