XML options

XSLT is a language for transforming XML documents into XML documents or even plain text. With

XSLT you can add/remove elements and attributes to or from the output file. You can also rearrange

and sort elements, perform tests and make decisions about which elements to remove and keep. More

information can be found at: http://www.w3schools.com/

By activating the Apply XSLT style sheet option the connector will apply the XSLT style sheet stated

in the Style sheet text area to the XML output. It is applied before writing the information to disk or

before sending it using a HTTP POST call. This way the XML structure can be modified to match the

requirements of the receiving application.

The XML options section

Sample XML files may be obtainded by setting up a demo version of PSW on your local machine

and using the Write to file option. The resulting file than can be used in a application like XML Spy or

Cooktop to develop the XSLT style sheet.
