XSL Stylesheet

Technologies for handling and transforming XML documents are also avail 

able to Web components such as servlets or JSPs. Web components may use

custom tag components, XSL, or the JAXP APIs to handle XML documents. (For

more information on handling XML documents, see Chapter 4.) 

E

Generally, whenever possible client developers should use JSP to generate re 

sponses by a service and to present the data as a view to clients (such as brows 

ers that use Web tier technologies).

E

For clients in a non Web tier environment where JSP technology is not avail 

able, developers should use XSLT transformations.

Developers can use JSP technology to access content in XML documents and

to build an HTML page from the XML document contents. Code Example 5.13

shows how JSP technology makes it easy to parse XML content and build an

HTML page from the order detail contents shown in Code Example 5.11.
