Can jsp tag libraries be uesd in XSLT

Hi,

We are installing TS 7.3 fresh installation on linux boxes with similar version number for LS/SP. We will use Weblogic App server on the Runtime environment box to host the website.

For templating, in earlier design we have experiance of using jsp code inside tpl file and producing a .jsp as output.

In latest design, I understand XSLT have replaced TPLs.

My Question: Can we use jsp code/tag libraries in XSLT in the same way as was used in tpls or not? If not what is the optimum method to produce jsp as output file from xslt presentation file?

Many Thanks,
Retesh

Thanks Ghoti, This gives an idea to start with some hit and trial. Will post my further querries in this thread later. If anybody has experiance in writing JSP code within the XSLT to generate the JSP output, then please let me know.The reason I asked this question is there was a training which few my team mates attended from IWOV guys. The trainer informed that XSLT can only contain html tags. For calling java component, you need to call them via javascript. He said jsp tags cannot be used within XSLT.Thanks,Retesh

Yes, As Interwoven said we cant do such things in xslt.
Still you want to achieve/implement then go by using xsl:text

[HTML]
<%@ include file="somefile.jsp" %>

<% ... %>

[/HTML]

From your First post, it looks like you have installed LS/SP and i assume you will be using it going forward. If this is true, why would you write down JSP code?

LS/SP will not generate JSP as output (unless you do some serious customization) and will generate .page file which will be transformed at runtime to show the final HTML content.

If you are not using LS/SP, you can still keep using your old Templates generating JSP in new version as well (with some version compatability related changes).

Hi,

Our TS/LS 7.3 installation is getting delayed therefore I couldn't try anything myself. I want to check if anybody has tried using jsp code within CDATA section inside xslt presentation code.

The way we want to implement this is using jsp code at random section of the xslt and reffering to xml (dcrs) values at other section. Then producing the output page as a standard jsp webpage.

This could be understood in old tpl way in which we used iwpt tags to fetch dcr values inside asp/jsp/html output page.

Is this possible? Any pointers guys!

Thanks,
Retesh
