RE: tomcat web server and dynamic XSL

Are you perhaps imagining that tomcat, when asked to serve an XML file, will
automatically look for the <?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction and
apply an XSLT transformation?

That's not the way it works. You have to write some servlet code (or install
some code that's already been written) that uses the JAXP interface to
invoke the transformation.
