We are using XML+XSL for a new virtual store at Sparks.com in S.F., CA, USA. We use it with a version of an open source publishing framework called Cocoon from Java Apache org. We have it running with a system based on EJBs, servlets, and BEA Weblogic. It runs pretty well, but Cocoon is a very general framework undergoing rapid change, and we're considering alternative, simpler designs that might provide us with higher performance for our relatively specialized application. The main advantage of Cocoon, XML, and XSL for us is that it enabled us to separate the business logic and Java engineering from most of the artistic, graphical, layout and presentation issues focused on by production personnel. The servlets and EJBs are business focused and generate XML, while the stylesheets tell Cocoon and XSL:P how to render the XML as HTML pages on the server. One of the interesting things we discovered along the way is that nearly all of our pages are dynamic, so Cocoon's early schemes for caching fully rendered pages did not help us much as we hoped they might. We got much more improvement in performance by simply caching stylesheets parsed as DOM documents, since they generally contain most of the content of the final pages, especially HTML. ---Paul O -- Paul O'Rorke, Ph.D. C: (408) 202-7429 H: (408) 366-2848 W: (415) 642-6799 x122 (Sparks.com) "John E.
