These could include XML documents provided by a standards organization (e.g., cXML, OAG, and OFX) containing the elements and structure for the particular kind of data you want to process. The types of sample documents you may need are: One of the most important parts of planning and designing an XML integration application is determining all of the possible kinds of sample documents your components might need before you begin development. The sample (if it's truly representative) will have exactly the same XML structure as the invoices that will be processed. For example, if your application will process Company ABC's invoices, you might use a sample invoice when building the application. (Integration Manager does the 'hard work' of generating XPath and DOM methods so that you don't have to.)Ī sample XML document is nothing more than a representative model of the data your component or service will process: it contains the same elements, attributes, and structures. In this way, it becomes possible for Integration Manager to translate simple UI gestures (like drag-and-drop) into XPath and ECMAScript expressions that can be used to carry out mappings and transformations at runtime. The 'XML Template' wrapper identifies a group of related documents: sample XML docs that go with particular stylesheets, schema docs, and/or DTD files, and/or fault docs that need to be used in association with each other.Īt design time, the XML sample documents in your templates serve as exemplars, or 'hints,' to enable Integration Manager to display proper document tree views in the various GUI pieces that need to show your service's inputs and outputs. In Integration Manager, you would typically organize input documents into one XML Template and create a different XML Template (with any or all of the above-mentioned ancillary items) to hold sample output documents. You may or may not also want to associate various kinds of fault documents with the service. They might or might not be associated with XSL stylesheets. For example, it's not unusual, when designing an XML integration application, to have one or more sample input documents that represent hypothetical 'incoming data.' These input documents might or might not conform to a particular schema (.xsd) or DTD. The purpose of the XML Template is simply to organize related documents into a single functional grouping. In order to simplify working with XML data at design time, Integration Manager lets you defined XML Templates. Novell Integration Manager relies heavily on the concept of organizing related groups of XML, XSL, DTD, and/or XSD files into named templates.ĭocument Definitions, XSL Stylesheets, and Templates
