<oXygen/> XSLT Debugger Perspective
The XSLT Debugger perspective is used for detecting problems in an XSLT
transformation process by executing the process step by step in a controlled
environment and inspecting the information provided in different special views.
The workspace is organized in:
- Source document view - Displays and allows editing of data or
document oriented XML files (documents).
- Stylesheet document view - Displays and allows editing of XSL
files(stylesheets).
- Output document view - Displays the
transformed output that results from the input of a selected document
(XML) and selected stylesheet (XSL) to the transformer. The result of
transformation is dynamically written as the transformation is
processed. There are three types of views for the output: a text view
(with XML syntax highlight), an XHTML view and one text view for each
xsl:result-document element used in the stylesheet (if it is a XSLT 2.0
stylesheet).
- Control toolbar - Contains all actions needed in order to
configure and control the debug process.
- Information views - Distributed in two panes that are used to
display various types of information that can be used to understand the
transformation process. For each information type there is a
corresponding tab. While running a transformation, relevant events are
displayed in the various information views. This enables the developer
to obtain a clear view of the transformation progress.
