Exporting Mappings

You can export a mapping - source and target document trees and Mapper canvas contents - as an image file. The default image format is JPEG ( .jpg), but you can choose from other popular image file formats such as .bmp and .tiff.

The exported image reflects the document trees at the time you export the image - if you have collapsed a node in Stylus Studio, for example, that node is also collapsed in the exported image. However, the exported image includes the entire document tree and Mapper canvas, not just what is currently visible on the Mapper tab.

By default, all source-target document links are displayed. However, if you have chosen to hide or show links for only certain nodes, the exported image reflects that choice and displays only the links for the nodes as you have specified. See Simplifying the Mapper Canvas Display for more information on hiding and showing links.

To export an XSLT mapping:
1. Optionally, hide links for any nodes in the source or target documents that you do not want to appear in the exported image.
2. Select XSLT > Export Mapping as Image from the Stylus Studio menu.

Stylus Studio displays the Save As dialog box.

3. Specify a URL for the file.
4. Optionally, change the image type. (The default is JPEG; .bmp and .tiff are also available.)
5. Click Save.

EXSLT Tools

EXSLT support in Stylus Studio lets you extend XSLT 1.0 stylesheets and simplify many tasks including computing dates and times, performing mathematical computations, string manipulations and more.

Writing Custom XML Adapters

There are cases where the input format is too complicated for Convert to XML, or both reading and writing of the file format is needed. This section will take you through the process of writing a medium-sized adapter in Java.

XQuery and Web Services

XQuery provides a flexible means for data abstraction, while Web services provide process abstraction. In this online video demonstration, learn how integrated XQuery & Web service tools simplify development of XQuery-based Web service applications.
