Does anyone know of a good application that you could setup a hot
folder or some other automated method with which I could apply
transformations to files. I'm looking for something where I could tell
the app to use my XSLT and then apply it to a bunch of files.
this really isnt anything to do with XSLT...but its a common pattern...soo.
a) use Ant in some continuous integration method (CruiseControl,
Anthillpro) to control XSLT process
b) use cron job
c) if you use source control (like svn) use a post-commit hook to apply
xslt on commit
d) if on unix/linux check out watch, dirwatch or if u need something a
bit meatier try sgi_fam to watch a directory for changes to execute some
action
e) you could (yes, my fav flavour of the year) use a smarter file system
in the form of an XML database (exist.sourceforge.net) which is
accessible via webdav/soap/REST...using this you could drop your files
in eXist and then give HTTP URL to your app (with a _xslt= encoded param
to instruct which XSLT file to use to transform on HTTP GET request)
