We're currently creating XML from Java Business Objects (but this isn't a java question). We need to display that XML to the user in the browser in a print-friendly way. Is there a way to display n rows of the XML, repeat a header, and then display n rows again? We'd like it to appear in a nice report format. I don't need code samples; general advice would be greatly appreciated

I referenced thread426-792729 but didn't find any specific help (I'd rather stay away from Crystal Reports and .NET is absolutely out of the question).

TIA,

RJ

You can do this easily with XSL. Ideally you should probably look at using XSL-FO. As you are delivering it to a browser, you should also remember you can offer two different css stylesheets - one for screen display and one for printing.
