We can use JDeveloper to build an XSLT transform and then upload it into the
Service Bus. A future release will add support for XQuery in JDeveloper, similar to
that provided in Oracle Workshop for WebLogic. XSLT is an XML language that
describes how to transform one XML document into another. Fortunately, most
XSLT can be created using the graphical mapping tool in JDeveloper, and so SOA
Suite developers don't have to be experts in XSLT, although it is very useful to know
how it works. Note that in our transform, we may need to enhance the message
with additional information, for example, all the Global Address methods require
a username and password to be provided to allow accounting of the requests to
take place. This information has no place in the canonical request format, but must
be added in the transform. A sample transform that does just this is shown in the
following screenshot:
