XSL Servlet | IBM Version 5 specification

Tip: Application Developer 4.0.3 contains SQLToXML library, but it returns results as a stream data, which means you need to parse it for a document. Later versions may have a function to get a document directly.

4.The servlet gets an XML document from SQLToXML library.

5.The servlet instantiate XSLT Processor.

6.The XML document that is the output of SQLToXML is an input for the XSLT Processor.

7.The pre-designed XSL applied and result HTML has been generated and transferred to the browser, so when the transformation is performed, the user can view the retrieved customer information on the Web browser.
