Subject:Integration edition tutorial Author:Lisa Bergqvist Date:27 Mar 2006 09:57 AM
We have purchased Sonic Software Integration platform. Along with that comes Stylus Studio 6.
Is there a tutorial on Stylus Studio 6 on the web?
I have had a look around in the tool. The mapper GUI only supports < 20 functions (xslt). If I want to perform other transformations than those?
I edit the xslt code? Is that code always "reveresed" to the GUI? I can also build a lib of java classes, I presume.
Is there a velocity guideline, a best practice, to read. How to best use the tool?

The IDE shipped with Sonic Software Integration Platform is based on Stylus Studio 6, but it has a different set of functionality and features specialized for Sonic Software. Sonic Software provides support for that specific version.

Not that I know of; but you should ask Sonic Softare support.

Those are the XPath 1.0/XSLT 1.0 functions... The Mapper GUI is a way to create XSLT stylesheets, and that's what XSLT 1.0 provides. You may create Java extension functions and use them if you need something that the native XPath/XSLT functions don't provide.

Mapper is a way to edit XSLT code, yes; Stylus Studio supports two way editing: changes in the GUI are reflected in XSLT changes, and vice-versa.

Most of the mapping-specific educational material on the Stylus Studio web site is focuses on using XQuery rather than XSLT... You may also notice significant changes in the set of functionality offered by Stylus Studio today.
