I am interested in creating a web app that uses JSP, Servlets and XML.

At the moment I have the following:

JSP - Form input.

Servlet - Retrieving Form data and sending that data to a java object.

Java object (1) - Converts data into XML file....instantiates java object (2).

Java object (2) - Sends that file to a database.

On the returning side the database will send back another XML file that I will then process using XSLT to display back to the user.

Can I place that XSLT code in the orignial Servlets doPost() method? So my doPost()` method would:

  1. Retrieve user inputted data from the form on my JSP page.

  2. Instantiate a java object to convert that data to XML, in-turn that object will instantiates another object to send the XML file to a database.

  3. Converts the resulting XML file sent from the database and displays it for the user.

Can one servlet doPost() method handle all of this? If not, how would I set up my application and classes to handle this work flow?

Thank you in advance
