You might want to look at Cocoon, a "100% pure Java publishing framework that relies on new W3C technologies (such as DOM, XML, and XSL) to provide web content": http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/ However, I am a skeptical of the value of this technology for public web pages. After discussions of accessibility and mobile Internet at INET2001 <http://www.tomw.net.au/2001/inet/index.html#Serving>, I am recommending that web designers make their applications "wireless ready" by implementing accessibility guidelines and checking their web pages are usable on a quarter-VGA screen. Most web pages will then work okay on wireless PDA devices and web appliances, as well as normal computer screens. This avoids the need for server side software and bypasses WAP.
