The USXSL Component

Previous Next

The Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) is an XML-based language used for the transformation of XML documents.

The internal USXSL component offers several methods to transform XML documents or to extract data from an XML document by using INVOKE statements. With the USXSL component, you can:

· Apply an XSL transformation to an XML document (USXSL.apply).

 

· Retrieve a value from an XML document (USXSL.value).

 

· Retrieve a complete node from an XML document (USXSL.node).

 

· Temporarily store an XML or XSL document in memory (USXSL.setxml, USXSML.setxsl).

These methods can be called from INVOKE statements. INVOKE can for example be used in constraints, in the SQL Command Dialog, or through the USoft Remote Rules Service API.

This section describes the USXSL component and its methods.

NOTE:

You are advised to use this USXSL component instead of the older XSL Off the Shelf (Java) component.
