David KarrSubject: RE: Functions to transform
Author: David Karr
Date: 31 Oct 2005 02:56 PM
I would probably use different templates for "name" and "address", but
that's beside the point.

This example takes 2 parameters and returns 1 value. I'm looking at a
situation where I want the function to take the source element, along
with possibly a discriminator of some sort (like your "field"
parameter), and produce a complex value (more than one return value, in
other words). I'm also wondering how this would look in the XSLT
mapper. Ideally, I think I'd like to be able to connect the source
element to the transform, and connect the transform to the element that
contains all the values I want to set (for instance, the target
"Address" structured element), without having to specify links to the
target subelements ("firstname", "lastname", "city", "state", etc.).

Better an experiment then the opinions of 1000 experts like my boss always tells me :)

The call templates appears as instruction block into the canvas with as many incoming ports as input parameters are defined and one output port that you can connect to the target document. so if your template generates a tree fragment you just need to map the output port where you wants the fragmet in the target tree.
