I am interested in creating a web app that uses JSP, Servlets and XML.
At the moment I have the following:
JSP - Form input.
Servlet - Retrieving Form data and sending that data to a java object.
Java object (1) - Converts data into XML file....instantiates java object (2).
Java object (2) - Sends that file to a database.
On the returning side the database will send back another XML file that I will then process using XSLT to display back to the user.
Can I place that XSLT code in the orignial Servlets doPost() method? So my doPost()` method would:
- Retrieve user inputted data from the form on my - JSP page.
- Instantiate a - java objectto convert that data to- XML, in-turn that- objectwill instantiates another- objectto send the- XML fileto a- database.
- Converts the resulting - XML filesent from the- databaseand displays it for the user.
Can one servlet doPost() method handle all of this? If not, how would I set up my application and classes to handle this work flow?
Thank you in advance
