Hi,
Me and my collegue was having a discussion to use externalised XSL in the component using a xsl file in workarea or in <custom runtime>.jar file.
Can anybody help us to choose the best approach to include the external XSL.
Thanks,

THere are 3 choices.
Most common is to have XSL on the branch and in /iw/xsl/ folder. That is accessible easily.
The downside to this is that if you share XSL, then you have to distribute it to each branch/runtime.
I seriously dislike compiling it into the jar as that requires a UI restart to apply.
My current project has the same components on 25 different branches. We started with embedding the XSL into the component, so we didn't have to distribute the XSL. However before go live we externalized it into a copy in each workarea.
