XSLT to ICEFaces markup

Question

Is it possible to apply an XSLT to an XML document and generate markup that is processed by JSF/ICEFaces?

I need the XSLT to add <ice:commandButton elements and such, since some data elements to render also require related command buttons.

Do you also have some tutorials about XSLT and ICEFaces?

Thank you in advance.

I don't know the exact syntax of ICEFaces but if you want output that is not following XML or HTML syntax rules then disable-output-escaping (in XSLT 1.0 and 2.0) and character maps (in XSLT 2.0) can help. The character maps documentation I linked to has an example to create JSF syntax.

What I need is that ICEfaces uses the XSLT output to **render server-side controls**. So an ice:commandButton tag as result of transformation should be processed by server (not sent to client directly) to generate an input tag that will be rendered by the client – usr-local-ΕΨΗΕΛΩΝ Mar 02 '11 at 11:15

Yes, it is definitely possible. You just need to create a servlet Filter which runs before the FacesServlet kicks in and takes care that the XSL-generated Facelet file is present there where the FacesServlet expects it. See also this answer for a detailed kickoff example.
