Subject:    MDServlet

I've built a small servlet front-end for MDSAX that's highly (perhaps too) configurable. My favorite feature is that you need to know pretty much nothing about SAX or MDSAX to make it work beyond a basic understanding of ContextML, which isn't nearly as difficult. Using this tool, you can use pretty much all the tools (filters) provided with MDSAX to manipulate documents before transmission, and you can add your own filters to MDSAX and control them from MDServlet.

Details are available at:

For my next project, I'm hoping to build a factory class that'll make James Clark's XT easy to fit in the framework, so XSL transformations will be possible. (They aren't at present.) If anyone would like to contribute to that (especially if you've figured out how XT fits in a SAX-based environment), I'd love to hear from you.
