Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

hi everyone

i wanted to write a program to allow user to create a particular letter just by clicking a button,

now this file is first store in xml form, when user initiates the document generation the program will get xml element from the database and transform the xml to xsl and then finally to rtf.

what would be the best parser for this,

i seen a lot of xml example files and they are all relatively small, i'm wondering is it not a good idea to write an xml file of two or three pages long consisting a relatively small xml element but has great deal of text in it.

lastly i take that for formatting purposes i still have to convert the xml to xsl then only rtf?

thanks in advance
