Are there any alternatives available in PowerBuilder that assist us in creating XSLT for a Datawindow?

I've been experimenting with the XML Template in the DataWindow Painter and it appears to be able to rename the elements, add attributes and some other XML editing to be applied to the XML file during export. It doesn't appear to be able to generate an XSLT file. Is there an option I'm missing to provide this along with the XML file?

Thanks, Chris.

Those methods contain the XML\XHTML output but not the transformation code of the XLST.

We're looking to provide the client with an additional XLST file or to to transform the original XML contents of the export. The above logic may work if I have a way to switch out templates, but I don't think that is what the client is looking for at this time.

Thanks for the input!

Regards, 

Mike

Yes, Chris. that is exactly what I was experimenting with. But it appears to store the templates for the XML\HTML inside the source of the DW. Is there any way to obtain the XSLT in a file as opposed applying it to the contents exported?

Thanks, 

Mike

Hi Mike;



Well, if you can get it this way ...

ls_xmlstring = dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Data.XHTML

ls_xmlstring = dw_1.Describe("DataWindow.Data.XHTML")



Then why not just write the contents of ls_xmlstring to a file?
