This xslt renders an XML file of a java Collection instance, containing java.lang.Properties instances as csv, one row per Properties instance.
Create the xml file like so:
... Collection canoes = new HashSet(); canoes.add(canoeProps1); canoes.add(canoeProps2); ... FileOutputStream fstream = new FileOutputStream("collectedproperties.xml"); try { XMLEncoder ostream = new XMLEncoder(fstream); try { ostream.writeObject(canoes); ostream.flush(); } finally { ostream.close(); } } finally { fstream.close(); } ...
Copy the xslt below to a file (suggest you copy paste as formatting may hide one of the long lines in wordpress standard view). Throw it and your collectedproperties.xml at your xsl processor to get a rudimentary csv file.
