XML Portlet
Description
The XMLPortlet is a simple portlet that performs an XSL translation on an XML file. The XML and XSL files are specified in the portlet preferences, i.e.:
<preference>
<name>xmlFile</name>
<value>/tmp/sample.xml</value>
</preference>
<preference>
<name>xslFile</name>
<value>/tmp/sample.xsl</value>
</preference>
Prerequisites for Deployment
None. The portlet can be directly deployed into any JSR 168 compliant container without any additional configuration.
Deployment Steps
Deploy the portlet to your Portlet Container. For your convenience, the "How To" section on project wiki page will help you get started with a few popular portlet containers.
