Understanding the XSLT Designer

Overview

In this tutorial you become acquainted with the XSLT Service Designer, which is part of the OpenESB software package. The XSLT Designer is used to develop, deploy and test XSL Transformation Services.

An XSL Transformation Service acts as a web service. It receives messages from a client, transforms them, and either sends the messages back to the originator or forwards them to another web service.

In this tutorial you create a simple XSL Transformation Service that receives a message, transforms it, and sends it back to the calling web service.

Prerequisites

This tutorial assumes that you have some basic knowledge of, or programming experience with, the NetBeans IDE, and some experience with XSLT.

System Requirements

This tutorial assumes that your system meets the following minimum requirements:

OS / Platform

SolarisTM SPARC 9,10
