Hi,

I am newbie in xslt.

I have some problem in my current project.

I have to call web service from xslt. The web service takes an xml document as input parameter. I dont know how to do it.

I have tried to write xslt which calls web service by passing string or int values.

Please let me know how can I write the xslt.

Regards,
Smaranika

There is no standard facility for calling web services from XSLT. You will need to use extension mechanisms provided by your chosen XSLT processor.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I understand that. I feel i have to use HTTP Post method.

I have googled and could find this link.

Does this help? How will i call my webservice then?

What platform and processor will you be using?

There are XSLT processors that have extensions for doing an HTTP POST, but you're probably better off asking about them on a processor-specific forum.

I am using xslt processor in visual studio 2005 and sql server.

So you can write an extension function or use an object passed in with XsltArgumentList. You also need to define a web service that takes an XmlNode as a parameter.

All that is documented in MSDN.com in the examples under XslCompiledTransform.

Assuming you are using System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform in the .NET framework you need to study http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6datxzsd(VS.80).aspx and then decide to either use an extension object or extension script to talk to the web service.
