Xml xslt and java

Question

To obtain a HTML form from a xsd (xml schema) I thought I must use a parser to parse the schema and extract field info (how many fields needed and which type) to create the form to add records to a simple XML DB, like:
<db>
<rec id="0">
</rec>
</db>
but someone suggested me to use a XSLT, but I don't figure I can use it... and anyway... I must use xalan to apply that xslt to my xml schema to translate it, right?
suggestions, tips and so on are really appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

javax.xml.transform:
javax.xml.transform.stream:
Source xsltSource = new StreamSource(new File("mytemplate.xslt")); // e.g. from XSLT file
Transformer t = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(xsltSource);
t.transform(source,result); // where source is your schema doc and result is the target (a stream, a file ...)
