RE: XML to HTML Conversion Tools

Kurt, Typically the behavior of web servers can be extended in two ways: Filter - receive & process each & every web transaction (kind of like subclassing) Extension - take over a sub-tree of the URL namespace Different web servers have different ways of doing these. There are some nice, fairly standard ways of doing an extension - specifically Java Servlets. I don't know if there are standard ways of doing filters. If performance or scalability become a concern, you will probably get into a caching scheme at some point. Using existing technology (caching proxies, etc.) is probably a good idea, and so you may want to check into how they work & consider that in your design. Also, you might want to think about a more flexible way of returning HTML when the client asks for XML. The HTTP protocol has a mechanism for the client to specify its preferred media format. You might want to check the 'Accept' header & look for 'text/xml' or 'text/html' and return the appropriate type. This way, a client could get to the XML by specifying 'text/xml' if that is what it really wanted.

We want to be able to tell the server that any file with .xml should be converted and returned as HTML. The tool should be able to use XSL as part of the conversion. We've used DocProc - which seems to work well - and we're trying to figure out what other options there are. Any feedback on what people are using or where to goto find out more information would be appreciated. -- Kurt Donath 315.456.6276 Staff Systems Engineer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
