Home >Online Product Documentation >Table of Contents >Steps for Building an XML Pipeline Steps for Building an XML PipelineThe process for building an XML pipeline consists of these basic steps:
1. Gather the requirements for the XML pipeline and select a design approach. You need to understand the XML pipeline's desired output, and perhaps which XML technologies (XQuery or XSLT, for example) need to be used. See Planning an XML Pipeline.
2. Identify and/or define the source documents and resources required to execute your XML pipeline.
3. Create an XML pipeline document. See Getting Started: Creating a New XML Pipeline.
4. Optionally, set deployment and processor properties. See XML Pipeline Scenarios.
5. Create and specify the XML pipeline nodes. You can create empty nodes and specify them manually, or you can create them using XQuery, XSLT, XML Schema, and other documents. See Working with Nodes.
6. Use pipes to connect the nodes in your XML pipeline.
7. Test the XML pipeline. See Testing the XML Pipeline.
8. Debug the XML pipeline as needed. See Debugging an XML Pipeline.
Once you are satisfied that the XML pipeline is running as it should, you can optionally generate Java code. See Generating Code for an XML Pipeline for more information. |
EDI Mapping
To transform EDI to XML, whether for X12 or EDIFACT, Stylus Studio provides the design tools and run-time support. EDIFACT, X12 and custom EDI formats can be translated, validated and mapped using the EDI Mapping adapter technology described here.
ADO to XML
The Stylus Studio ADO to XML data coversion wizard simplifies extracting of relational data into any XML format.
XSLT Mapper
Simplify XSLT mapping with the Stylus Studio XSLT Mapper - supports multiple data sources, round-trip engineering (synchronized editing views), XSLT function blocks, integrated XSLT preview and more.
OASIS Catalog Support
Stylus Studio's features for working with OASIS catalogs allow you to incorporate any vendor's catalog - or one of your own - in your XML, making writing correct and robust XML easier than ever.
