Decorators or XSLT

[Peter Sparkes]

Hi,

Is it possible to use xslt instead of decorators?

What I want to do is to use  Screen Widgets to produce  xml documents
and then use xslt instead of Decorator Screen Widgets to produce the
decorated xhtml

Thanks

Peter Sparkes

Hello peter

You can create a new view Handler to parse your xml file. See
framework/webapp/src/org/ofbiz/webapp/view.

I don't think it's possible to use xslt without create a new handler.

Hello Nicolas,

Thanks for the advice. I am still learning ofbiz and will have a go at
creating a xslt handler at a later date.

As xslt is the standard way of transforming xml documents and decorating
them , I am  surprised that its not built into ofbiz

since ofbiz does not serve up XML for views there is no reason for XSLT.
however if you write an ftl that serves up XML, then you could add the
libraries.
here is one for tomcat you can probably modify for ofbiz.

We prefer to use FreeMarker for that. Look for "FreeMarker  vs XSLT" in Google...

Thanks Jacques,

I am new to ofbiz and had not looked at FreeMarker. Had a look last
night and will use FreeMarker.

Thanks again
