PREPARING OUTPUT XML BASED ON SELECTED PROGRAMS AND XML TEMPLATES

摘要

An Identity System delivers customized request responses that integrate the results of multiple programs. The Identity System receives (1600) and translates (1606) a user request. The Identity Systems employs a program service to identify all the programs required to complete the request. The Identity System uses a XML data registry to retrieve a XML template and XSL stylesheet for each program (1610). The Identity System executes all of the programs for the request and organizes their results into a single data structure, based on the templates for each program. The Identity System then applies attribute display characteristics to convert the data structure into a single Output XML (1614). The Output XML can be provided directly to the user (1624) or receive further processing using the retrieved XSL stylesheets.
