Sample Style Sheet: Adding Name/Value Pairs to the Pipeline
The XSLT style sheet below uses the IOutputMap interface and extension functions from the Java classes Date and IntDate to add name/value pairs to the pipeline. IntDate is a simple class that converts a set of integers into a Date object.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!--Declares namespaces for the XSL elements and Java functions-->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"

The following sample shows the IntDate class updated to use the compiling processor.

When you run the service, provide the following input:
filename
packages/WmXSLT/pub/samples/xdocs/date.xml
xslParamInput
year
1997
month
05
day
21
hour
12
minute
12
second
12
The service uses the style sheet to transform the XML data from the source file specified in filename, converts the data into an XML string, and puts the string in the pipeline as the results parameter. The service also generates the name/value pairs and puts them in the xslParamOutput document. The Results view will display results similar to the following:
