Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I have to invoke a web service and xml received in response has to be shown in tabular form.
Through the following flow I am getting response xml.
(HTTPInput node-> Compute node->HTTPReply node).
But I am not getting any clue how can I show xml data in tabular form in HTML.
Is it possible in esql?
Thanks |

Anything's possible in ESQL - you just need to map the source to the required format. I doubt there's a quick & simple way to do it; others may know better

Maybe you should be more specific and say exactly what you would like your output message to look like.
And I as I was replying, also Vitor replied, giving a similar sort of view. |

Most people use stylesheets ( XSL or CSS ) for generating HTML from XML.

It's certainly true that if your output protocol has a header with a content type, and the content is in html, then setting the header to describe the content as html is a good thing.
I doubt it will automagically convert XML into HTML. It may well prompt the receipient to display it in a web browser or similar but that's not quite the same thing.

Consider this:
If your web service returned XML as you say, and you wanted to present the output as a PDF document, would simply setting contentType to 'application/pdf' result in a properly formed PDF document?
Same principle if a more extreme example.
