Hi Joern,
Perhaps you could give a bit of an example of the message formats you
are dealing with. Are the 50 message types logically similar ?
or are they vastly different (and each one very different) ?
I am thinking a modal based XSLT would assist.
Regards
Ramon

How do you plan to select the xslt to apply ? Using xpath rules inside
the xslt component ?
You may already be able to do that if you merge all your xslt inside
one (and use imports maybe so that you can keep them in their own
files). The problem would be that each imported xslt must have its
own template names so that they don't clash.
One other way would be to enhance the xslt component so that it can
use a property on the message / exchange to give the path to the xslt.
Then you could implement a message enhancer which would put this
property before calling the xslt component.

Hello,
I have a question related to the usage of the transformation component.
We are trying to attach a complex WS datasource to ServiceMix. Our data
souce has round about 50 services with different messages. So this measns
that we need to provide 50 XSLT files for transforming a message for a WS
request and we need another 50 XSLT files for transforming the responses.
Our service assembly today is that way that we use a router slip, two
transformers and a WS Client for integrating just one service, so need to
replicate that 50 times.
As you can imagine this leads to a pretty difficult maintance task and
perhaps also to an unecessary high overhead inside ServiceMix.
So my question is, if there is a way to enhance the transfomation
component
so that it is able to select the correct XSLT file itself depending on
the
message content and direction (e.g Request/Response).
I feel myself able to enhance the transformation component that way,
but I'm
also not sure if this would violate the EIP concept.
Please can you give me some guidance how others solved this issue or if a
more complex transformation component would be a valuable goal to
implement?
Thanks for any help on that issue
Joern
