XSLT

What all except IE5.0 , Tomcat server are needed to support and use XSLT ?

politically correct answer:
depends on what you want to do...
Having said that,
IE 5 and Tomcat are enough to get started with XSLT.
Ofcourse you do need to write your XML and XSL stylesheets.
For tutorials I would suggest www.zvon.org

I cannot emphasize more on not depending on browser compatibility for XML tranformations. Use XLST engine and do server-side transformations. Pass the resulting output file to the client across the network.
XML + XSL + Viewing the result in IE = Wrong Approach!!
XML + XSL ====> XSLT Engine =====> HTML
Viewing the HTML in ANY BROWSER = Right Approach

Ajith:
Could you please clarify on the "XSLT Engine" portion of your
second equation.

Is this what you are suggesting:
Create a JSP which reads an XML file and an XSL file,
processes them (using something like org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTProcessor)
and returns the output as HTML.
Did I read you right?
Thanks.

Why you need to code a JSP page? (of course you can do.. !)
If you have the xalan distribution(from apache), you have command line utility in the distribution,
To be exact you say
org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in <your xml> -xsl <your xsl> -out <output htmldoc>
[You have more options there]
Hope this helps you,

i assumed that we were discussing web applications
you know dynamically applying xsl templates like in www.zvon.org tutorials.

XSLT Engine, or XSLT processor, is a piece of software that interpret XSLT stylesheet. You absolutely need it to process your XML document with XSLT! IE has built-in XSLT processor, called MSXML. Your Tomcat server probably has some XSLT processor, like Xalan, installed, so it looks like you do not need anything besides IE or Tomcat to work with XSLT.
