I just read over the section on XSP in the book I have on
Java and XML, and it seems to discuss XSP within the framework of Cocoon (
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/index.html). Are you using Cocoon? If so, can you please tell me how you like it and what server you are using it with? If not, what are you using to process your XSP?
Basically the way I read this (and I have never used XSP) is that XSP allows you to dynamically create XML documents by inserting Java code between <xsp:logic> tags. For example:
The above should (and I've never tried it) allow you to dynamically output the adminInstruction content within your XML document. You would still use XSL to process into HTML (or something else). The book I am reading describes this as overcoming a (sometimes) limitation of
JSP in that it is easy to mix presentation and business logic. It seems like a few extra steps to get it set up, though.
To your specific question, are you using something like Cocoon that will process XSP? Does anyone know of another product for using XSP?
