Editing xml in java

Question

hello everybody,
i'm trying to write a java application for editing xml documents.
I know It is possible to use xsl stylesheets to transform xml documents but it is possible to display the result of the transformation process in java?
I mean,
I make the transformation XML --->XSL ---->but i don't want to view the output in a browser!! I want to view that in my java application !!
Can i display this output in swing objects?? Can i modify this output??
Thanks to all.

I make the transformation XML --->XSL ---->but i don'tYou mean XML+XSLT=>XML
want to view the output in a browser!! I want to view
that in my java application !!
Can i display this output in swing objects?? Can i
modify this output??Here is an example for saxon:
// I didn't compile or run this code, please refer to API documentation for more detail instructions.
// Transformer factory.
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
// XML source file
File source_file = new File("xml_file.xml");
// output file
File outputFile = new File( "output.out");
// Transformation source
Source source = new StreamSource(source_file);
// Transformation result
out = new java.io.FileOutputStream(outputFile);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(out);
result.setSystemId(outputFile.toURI().toString());
// Must be synchronized by factory, since factory isn't thread safe
synchronized (transformerFactory) {
// obtain a transformer
transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(new File("xslt_template.xsl")));
// perform transformation
transformer.transform(source, result);
As you can see, you easely can redirect result to your Swing editor.
If you don't want to bother about streams and so on, you can use this example to write the result into the file, and open the file in your editor.
