After much futzing around with this, I ended up using JAXB to generate the xml I needed and enclosing the HTML data inside CDATA sections.

I then changed TransformerFact oryImpl to use saxon and process the stylesheet:

System.setPrope rty("javax.xml. transform.Trans formerFactory", "net.sf.saxon.T ransformerFacto ryImpl");

And used saxon's saxon:parse() function to further process...

You could change the action with javascript to point to different validating actions depending on what you click

struts-config:

<form path=/ValidateUpdate" validate="true" type="myClass" name="myForm" scope="request"/>
<form path=/ValidateSave" validate="true" type="myClass" name="myForm" scope="request"/>...

Hello,

I've got an object that's being converted into SAXSource and then converted into a pdf with FOP. Some of the data however is in HTML format inside the xml tags and is being escaped (&gt;, etc) before it transformed.

I'd like to have this these html tags parsed as actual elements by the stylesheet, which would mean reading it in it's unescaped format, but I can't figure out how to do this. I have "disable-output-escaping"...
