Will IE format XML automatically?

Hi guys,

I have XML data stored on a DB2 table as varchar. I want to read the xml and do some parsing/translation and produce an xml which I have to render in the browser (I do not want to store the resulting xml).The parsing/translation can be done with JAXP, but how do I stream the resulting xml to IE? Also IE does rendering of xml file (the colored tree structure). So in this case do I have to worry about rendering or IE will take care of it?

Can you point me to some examples?

Many thanks

You probably want a servlet to stream it to the client, if you don't want to store it locally.

Whether you need to worry about transforming it, either on the client or on the server, depends whether the tree is what you want the user to see. Recent IE will support XSLT 1, though earlier versions only support a MS specific language that is partly related to the 1998 draft. Or you can transform to a presentable format on the server and not worry about version issues.
