Subject: [xsl] appropriate use of xsl? From: rhodespc@xxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 14:41:55 -0400 (EDT) |
Hi all, I am struggling with how to solve this problem. I am wondering if I am using xsl as my one and only hammer. I have n number of tables, that are all very similar, but in some way different. Column names may mismatch. The date in one table me be in mm/dd/yyyy, while another may be in yyyy/mm/dd. I need to display the union of these tables in a homogenous way. That is, if I have a column called "order date", i need to display table1.order_date and table2.orderdate, and in a consistent date format. One idea I had was to define one standard dtd that would be the format I would pass to my application. I would create an xml file for each different format, and to define how each attribute would map to the standard defined in a dtd. I would use xsl to do the transformation to the standard format, and to do the data conversion... Summary: 1) convert the jdbc resultset to an xml file 2) create dtd for the common xml file format 3) create a xsl file for each of the distinct formats that I encounter to transform them to the common format I would be interested in hearing any thoughts on this. Thank you, Phillip XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
