XSLT

Filesystem Structure

I guess I will go for a filesystem populated with many small xml files. Each file contains one record in native format and would be named according to the objId, e.g.

objId1234567.mpx
kueId1234.mpx
mulId12345.mpx

There should be only one record per objId, so probably I do not need several directories although this might get very big directory.

Updates

I guess I could write a little perl script to update the filesystem.

Today, Frank asked me for basic xslt and this week Andreas also showed more interest in XSLT than I expected, so I thought I write down some notes on how to get going with XSLT. I won't tell you what XSLT actually is, just info that you might be missing when you start out.

Another thing: One way of using XSLT is to convert xml to html or xhtml; i use it to transform xml data to xml data in another format.

Basic Info on XSLT

I found this on the XSL mailling list: http://assets.expectnation.com/15/event/2/Testing%20XSLT%20Presentation.pdf

The document as such is great, but now I wonder which approach is the best for me respectively is the eaisest to learn.

At the moment, I look at I http://utf-x.sourceforge.net/manual/manual.pdf, but I am really not sure this is the way to go. One question seems to be with or without Java.
