Defining Policies using XSLT Style Sheets

Style sheets define XSLT transformation rules. The XSLT processor in the DirXML^® engine is compliant with the 16 November 1999 W3C Recommendation. For the specifications, see the following:

• XSL Transformations (XSLT)
• XML Path Language (XPath)

Style sheets can be used in the following places:

• Input transformation rules
• Output transformation rules
• Event transformation rules
• Matching, create, or placement rules
• Mapping rules
