You could probably use custom taglibraries to apply stylesheets to 
      your xml data at server side

if you want the 
      browser to transform the XML into HTML, then no problem. 
If you want 
      to do that server side, you'll be in a bit more trouble 
because you're 
      doing that in JSP.

No, if you don't save them to disk. 
      You just need to send the HTML to 
the browser.

However, I 
      insist that if you generate XML with your JSP and want to 
transform 
      the XML into HTML server side, you may have a hard time, 
especially if 
      you are a newbie to the JAXP API.

Tip: Generate the XML in a 
      StringBuffer, but do not output it. Transform 
it using whatever XSLT 
      engine you like, and then output the HTML. 
Content-type: 
      text/html.

Otherwise, you can send your XML and XSL to the browser 
      (use 
<?xsl-stylesheet ...?>) and let the browser do the 
      transform. This will 
work with Mozilla and IE6.0 
      only.
