Hello,
In another post, I mentionned I was using PHP with Sablotron 1.0 as my
server-side XSLT processor.
I have several websites, some of them with thousands pages. Everything
is stored as XML. For the past few years, I have been generating static
HTML pages through Perl scripts and uploading them. I am now
experimenting with XSLT, to see if the performance is still acceptable
(it would obviously be more convenient for *me*).
Now Tjerk and Nick warned me (in the other thread) that Sablotron was a
lousy xmlt processor with bad error reporting (Tjerk) and slow (Nick).
I am not sure I can use anything else, since I am dependent on what my
web host has installed. Nick mentions mod_transform, which I guess is http://www.outoforder.cc/projects/ap...ransform/docs/
Apparently, one uses this by stating in .htaccess which stylesheet
should be used, and then the XML files are accessed directly by the
users? But I am afraid this wouldn't work, because I will probably need
to do some processing in PHP, too, before to deliver the web pages
based on the XML...
Any comment/suggestion/pointer welcome!
Thanks,
Martin 2  1456

It's not generally a good idea to use a real-time conversion server
for information which is inherently static or slow-moving, unless you
can justify the use of the resources by its convenience to the author.

The biggest and best-known is Cocoon, which runs on top of Tomcat.
It's a resource hog (or rather, I suspect, the underlying Java
is a resource hog) but it's fairly stable and reliable.
Another alternative is AxKit, which is Perl-based; but I have major
problems with this as it runs only on a very restricted set of
platforms.
Commercially there are systems like PropelX ( www.propylon.com) which
are pipelining transformers like Cocoon, but not restricted to using
XML-only or Java-only resources like Cocoon is.
[Claimer: we do some business with Propylon occasionally]
You may want to consider moving your hosting to a site which provides
one or more of these.

This is the principle I went by so far. I will probably stick to it,
but I wanted to experiment with XSLT. Generating and updating the HTML
files is a bit tedious, and they also take up a lot of online disk
space (I also need the XML online anyway). Thanks for your comments. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

All the dropdownlists are to be populated from a SQL database.

When would using std::list be more efficient / effective than using

As far as I'm aware, list doesn't appear to be specialized for
