Re: Using XML data from external source?

[S Woodside]

If you're in XSLT this is trivial:

<xsl:copy-of  
select="document('http://server/database.nsf/XML/ 
blabla.rss?OpenPage')"/>

You could use that as the initial stage in your pipeline.

If you want to work on that XML in the same XSLT stylesheet, there are  
ways. check out the EXSL extension dyn:evaluate. For example, wrap the  
above in a variable:

<xsl:variable name="foo">
  <xsl:copy-of  
select="document('http://server/database.nsf/XML/ 
blabla.rss?OpenPage')"/>
</xsl:variable>

and then you can select into it using this:

<xsl:apply-templates select="dyn:evaluate($foo)"/>

Hello,

First of all, sorry for posting this twice eventually. I used the wrong
email address, which is not registered on this list.
Now to my question: Is it possible to read data from an external source
to do further processing in AxKit? Could be for example an RSS file
from slashdot.org or any XML-file from a Domino server or whatever.
Cocoon provides such a facility by using:
<map:generate
src="http://server/database.nsf/XML/blabla.rss?OpenPage"/>
Is there something similar in AxKit?

Thanks,
Frank
