Sure. The page processing engine is designed
to service page requests via the servlet, via
the command line, or programmatically via
the oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLRequest api.

The command-line approach is great for offline
rendering of pages that benefit from server-side
XSLT and SQL processing but which do not require
the dynamism of being refreshed on each request.

The './xsql/bin/xsql' shell script and 
    './xsql/bin/xsql.bat' batch files

setup the CLASSPATH appropriately before running
the oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLCommandLine utility.

In particular, the four jar files and one
directory name required to be in the classpath
are the following:

1. oraclexsql.jar    -- XSQL publishing engine
2. xsu12.jar         -- XML<->SQL layer
3. xmlparserv2.jar   -- XML Parser, XSLT Processor
4. classes12.jar     -- JDBC Driver
5. <dir-name-where-XSQLConfig.xml-config-file-lives>
