<p>Metacat uses XML for data exchange between the client application and
|
|
30
|
the server.</p>
|
|
31
|
|
|
32
|
<p>XSLT is used for transformations for visual presentation (e.g. XML->HTML).
|
|
33
|
It can also be used to tranlate between different types of heterogeneous XML documents
|
|
34
|
which are symantically similar.</p>

|
<p>Metacat can be set on the fly to either transform or not transform a resultset
|
|
39
|
from XML. This is achieved by setting the 'qformat' servlet parameter to the name
|
|
40
|
of a <a href="metacatread.html">style-set</a> or to 'html'
|
|
41
|
or 'xml'. When qformat is set to html, Metacat will transform the resultset based
|
|
42
|
on the default style-set configured in the
|
|
43
|
<a href="./properties.html">Metacat Properties</a> file. This style-set
|
|
44
|
defines the rules for how to translate the XML tags into HTML tags.
