RE: [WEB400] XML/XSL

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would not rely on the browser to do the transformation unless you can
control the version of browser used.  Yes you can do the transformation on
the iSeries in languages that support it such as Java.  Here is an example:


TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

Source xmlSource = new SAXSource(new InputSource(new
StringReader(readIFSFile(in))));

Source xslSource = new StreamSource(new
java.net.URL("http://mycompany.com/Email.xsl";).openStream());

Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(new
java.net.URL("http://icsm400.taylorcorp.com/EmailError.xsl";).openStream()));

transformer.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(System.out));


If you apply the style sheet programmatically then you can use style sheets
that reside anywhere.  If you apply stylesheets by imbedding it in the XML
document then the style sheet must reside on the same machine that the
request was done.

Hope that helps,
Aaron Bartell

Subject: [WEB400] XML/XSL


I'm just starting to learn about XSL by way of W3Schools. There is some
discussion in the tutorial that the browser must support XML/XSL, but
that the transformation to XHTML could be done server-side and a Windows
based example is given. Can a server-side transformation also be done by
OS/400 so I can concern myself less with browser support? Or is this
even a concern anymore?
