Re: Enhydra: Questions about XML web publishing supported by Enhydra

Hi !

Yes, Xerces and Xalan are a very good choice for ENhydra ! We are using them 
a lot in several big projects. To get better performance in XSL 
transformations, you should use Xalan 2 !

We are also using Apache FOP to produce PDF output. You have to be carefull, 
which version of FOP you use and which XSL-FO elements are supported. FOP is 
still work in progress, but for our projects it is doing fine.

Greetings.
