Your design approach seems very reasonable and quite feasible.

Subject: [xsl] Curious about creating a custom function to
java classes pertaining to images
Sorry about the foggy subject line and if this isn't
appropriate for this mailing list.
Was sitting here thinking about our various image needs and
was thinking about the possibility of creating a custom
function that calls a Java class. Here is what I'm thinking about:
Parse XML doc (DITA) using XSLT 2 and Saxon.
Come across a ref to an image (which we haven't decided if we
create a specialized concept to contain all relevant image
info or some other method).
The original images will be SVG more than likely, at the
moment they are WMF.
Parse the SVG to create the appropriate file type (jpg, gif,
wmf, etc, or just plain old SVG) for output type, resize
(based on conditions), place the modified image in the
appropriate dir/db table. All this using XSLT via either a
call to Java class or a custom XSLT function calling a Java class.
I'd like this to be part of the XSLT publishing workflow.
Has anyone done this or see any issues of doing this? Just
wanted a heads up before going further with this.
Thanks
