You can make a web application quickly using XSLT and a handler like Cocoon 2.x. The trick is to get parameters in an HTTP POST or GET into your XSLT as parameters. Cocoon Central has a tutorial. I’m using a similar technique on a mini-web app we use to track program item ideas for ConJosé, [...]
[ via Apache Cocoon Users' List ] CocoonCenter.org has HOWTO’s and FAQs on using the Apache Project’s XML serving engine. Lots of stuff there which I’ll dig into later.
Dave mentioned Tony Collen’s piping OPML through Cocoon. Cool stuff.
[ via The Shifted Librarian ] Oh, my G_D. This is perfect. Navigate all of composer Philip Glass’ works by a number of axes: year, genre, mood. The works themselves are broken down by mood, etc so if you want a highly intense piece, you’ll be taken to “Where have you been asked the Doctor” [...]
A self-described idiot’s guide to Cocoon Two. The Apache Project’s XML publishing framework.
Mike Gunderloy saw my entry on the National Geographic map site, and sent a link to a company called Telemorphic. They have three web-based map viewers you can try. Two run as Java applets, and I suggest that you try them with Java WebStart (which pops them open separately from the browser). I was pleasantly [...]
Verson 1.2 of the Java Server Page specification provides an XML syntax for writing JSPs. Switching to XML syntax makes code generation and documentation easier.
[ via Must See http:// ] This is for my friend Lucy who’s taking her philosophy (logic) final this week. Venn diagrams to go please!
[ via mac.scripting.com ] Apple Developer Connection has an article on installing and running the Apache Tomcat servlet container under Mac OS X. It’s a different approach than Murray Todd William’s Tomcat + Cocoon package installer. It also gives some hints on how to specify CLASSPATHs correctly (since OS X’s framework structure puts Java classes [...]
[ via XML Hack ] UWOBO is a XSLT Stylesheet processor running as a HTTP server. In can be contacted with a proper URL giving the URI of a XML document and a list of stylesheets to be applied. The processor will apply the stylesheets in the given sequence and will return the processed document [...]
Good article on XSLT and Java techniques. I know, this is a lame comment, but I’m tired and need to look through my slides again.
A tutorial on building Java support into PHP, and how to call Java classes from your code.
It is hard to imagine a situation where XML and XSLT would not work, often more elegantly than JSP or pure servlet approaches.
I forgot to list Murray Todd Williams’ installer package for Tomcat and Cocoon on Mac OS X. I was able to install it and wire it into my Apache server while sipping coffee in a Madison cafe.
As a JavaOne media prank, unemployed coders lined up in the fashion of day laborers on busy streets, malls, and the I280/DeAnza offramp, looking for work.
