Creating Containers with Stylus Studio

Typically, you use Stylus Studio to access files in existing Berkeley DB XML containers. If you want, you can use Stylus Studio to create new containers. Stylus Studio creates a new container whenever

  • You type a complete Berkeley DB XML URL in the URL field in the Save or Save As dialog box when saving a file from Stylus Studio. For example: dbxml:///C:/samples/myNewContainer.dbxml/newWork.xml
  • The output file name given to the command line utility StylusXslt.exe names a container that does not exist. See Using Stylus Studio from the Command Line for more information on this utility.

In order to create a new container:

  • The container name must end in .dbxml.
  • The container home must be in a known database environment, either as specified in the BerkeleyDBXML.xml configuration file, or DB_HOME

Node and Wholedoc Containers

Berkeley DB XML Version 2.0.7 and 2.0.9 support Node and Wholedoc containers. Berkeley DB XML Version 1.2.1 supports only Wholedoc containers. Containers created by Stylus Studio are always created as Wholedoc containers.

Using XSLT Templates

Using XSLT Templates is an online video demonstration of the Stylus Studio XSLT designer. See just how easy it is to create, apply and match XSLT templates to your XML data to create beautiful HTML layouts for XML content publishing applications.

XML Project

Stylus Studio's Project Window is an intuitive, visual feature for organizing files belonging to a project. It supports different file-type icons and nested folders; many helpful options are available from the context menu.

Translating X12 Documents to XML

The X12 to XML Converter is a built-in function of the adapter library. The XML that is generated is well commented and indented, and can be used anywhere XML is normally used — with XML Schemas, XSLT, XQuery, etc.

XSD Editor

XSD Editor provides a synchronized split-pane interface that simultaneously shows both a visual XSD Diagram and the underlying code, with changes in one pane immediately reflected in the other
