using JAVA (in PHP) to do XSL transformations

[irf2k]

my problem is somewhat complex. I have a php page that I was using to perform an XSL transformation on an XML file. However, it turns out that I can't use PHP because it does not support the command "x:node-set" contained in the XSL (however, JAVA and some other methods do support this). I don't want to code the entire page again in a different language (since I don't really know how and the XSLT is only a small portion of the page).

So, my questions are:
1. How can I use JAVA (which I have never used before) to convert an XML file to HTML using an XSL file?
2. Is it possible to somehow perform this operation from within a PHP page?
3. If not, is it possible to store this information in a mySQL database?

Any help is appreciated

Perhaps you can call a stand alone Java program to do what you want to do? JAXB (Java Architecture for XML Binding) is a common architecture used for XML solutions.
