Re: Using XMLC without Compiling Classes

I think you are looking for the deferred parsing
functionality.  There is no requirement to compile, although you
still can if you want.  Grab the latest CVS to see the Tomcat and
XPath examples which both use deferred parsing to load documents. 
Not only can you load directly from file at runtime, but you also can
modify your HTML file and have it reloaded upon the next access of the
file.

See:
http://forge.objectweb.org/projects/xmlc/

You could also download the pre-built XMLC-2.2beta1 release.  A new
official XMLC-2.2 release should be coming out very soon and has a number
of bug fixes and other enhancements.
