pipeline

The pipeline element defines the xml pipeline. It specifies the xml document to load and the xml schema to use for validation.

The pipeline consists of one or more views. Each view is the result of one or more consecutive operations on the source xml.

Example

<config version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.xopus.com/xmlns/config">

  <import src="config.xml"/>

  <pipeline xml="xml/doc.xml" xsd="xsd/schema.xsd">
    <view id="defaultView" default="true">
      <transform xsl="xsl/presentation.xsl" />
    </view>
    <view id="Other View">
      <treeTransform/>
    </view>
  </pipeline>
</config>

Both uris can be paths relative to the html file that contains the pipeline definition.

This will be sufficient in most systems. However, in some cases you may wish to use an other identifier, like a document id, since the document may not actually exist on the server. In those cases the Xopus API can be used to change the way an xml document is loaded. See IO for more information.
