Hi Artem, this is an interesting question. Some years ago I was involved in the design of a system which used a XML and XSLT to translate the content to various output formats (not only XML-based). It was an elegant solution but also a hard way to go.
I have been developing a multiclient site for the last months and your proposal might have been a solution. I decided against it (and now use several sets of JSPs) for the following reasons: - having a common (XML-) format and afterwards transforming it to the real thing is one step more in the pipeline. It slows down the process (which might be amended with some sort of caching, but then you have an additional development effort) and the effort to maintain the XSLT translators is not less than the effort needed for the JSPs. - you got to use (yet) another programming language (XSLT) which I do not like (I do not like having more languages in my project, I do not oppose to XSLT). - I cannot see where you save any logic in the actions (or in the controller). The controller has to maintain the objects which will be presented to the user anyway. Thus I couldn't see any advantage in this solution. I have one set of JSPs per client. Otherwise I would have the same number of translators per client. Martin > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Artem Zhmurov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 6.
