<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 |
878
|
berkley
|
or 'xml'. When qformat is set to html, Metacat will transform the resultset based
|
| 42 |
881
|
berkley
|
on the default style-set configured in the
|
| 43 |
|
|
<a href="./properties.html">Metacat Properties</a> file. This style-set
|
| 44 |
878
|
berkley
|
defines the rules for how to translate the XML tags into HTML tags.
