Getting results of remotely executed code into variable

[travisbrown]

I've run up against a brick wall for this in ASP 3.0, so maybe there's something I can do in VB.NET.

I'm doing an XSL transformation by calling in local XSL and XML using a serverside XMLHTTP request, storing the results of each into a variable, then transforming.

The requested pages need to be executed before calling in because there is server-side processing needed on the files.

The problem is, I need to keep the execution of the requested pages in the session scope of the requesting page. There are various things I need to store in session values, and these values aren't available to the requested pages when using xmlhttp/

What would be ideal is to be able to put the results of a server.execute into a variable, because server.execute operates within the same scope as the host page. Alas, this seems not possible.

Any ideas?

Can you change the way things are working to use a webservice and read the response of a webservice?

I have found that jquery can sometimes solve some of these types of problmes.

Sorry probably of limited help..

Yes, javascript would keep the session, but it can't be client-side - we tried that but there are too many performance problems with large input files. All the transformation need to be done on the server.

It is essentially using a webservice right now, using serverside XMLHTTP, so the concept is the same, but...
