<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">Hi,<br>
<br>
I need to generate an XML output (Content-type: application/xml), but this XML
output is the XML content which is stored in an XML file. I don't need to
dinamically generate this XML content. <br>
I have searched in google but I don't find any catalyst view module for
managing this case. I don't know if exists any module for generating XML output
from a static file as, for example, Catalyst::View::XSLT module (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Ejanus/Catalyst-View-XSLT-0.08/lib/Catalyst/View/XSLT.pm">http://search.cpan.org/~janus/Catalyst-View-XSLT-0.08/lib/Catalyst/View/XSLT.pm</a>)
does. That is, generate an output from a static file, in this case, an XML
output.<br>
<br>
I am not finding much information about designing your own views in Catalyst,
or at least, I don't see much flexibility. All examples I have found need to be
generated, through the helper view, with TT template or any other templates.<br>
Is it possible to create your own view, with no template, and for example, in
my case, read the output from a static file and send this output to the client?
(I don't know exactly how Views works in Catalyst, though I have already read
Catalyst tutorial and cookbook)<br>
<br>
Thanks in advanced,<br>
<br>
<br>
David</span></p>
