Using XSLT to Format Output

VS-X-2 Using XSLT to Format Output

Using XSLT to Format Output

XSLT Example

• This example uses an XSLT to customize a view of a table.
• The XSL demonstrates xsl:output to create the output.
• The http_xslt() does not make the XSL-T transformation. It only registers the content as XML such that when the document is requested by the client, the server will transform it with XSL-T.

Example explained

• string_output () - creates a string session.
• select ... for xml auto element - Is the SQL/XML query over target table(s).
• xml_auto() - This executes the above query, and stores the resultant XML document (entities) in the string session allocated by string_output().
• string_output_string() - converts the string session to 'normal' string.
• http_xslt() - defines the XSL-T stylesheet for transformation of the XML content, which is stored in internal string session of the Web server.
