reference to a variable that will be used for extracting left path input input path (either XML path or Row/Column location) that will be used to test if it exists or what the value is based on the operator / right hand side value. operator used for testing the condition found in the "when" element. Values can be EQUAL,NOT_EQUAL, GREATER,LESSER,GREATER_EQUAL,LESSER_EQUAL . reference to a variable that will be used for extracting right path input input path of value that will be tested against left hand side a constant used on the right hand side to test opr against the left hand side. reference to a variable that will be used for extracting src path input input path (either XML path or Row/Column location) reference to a variable that set based on dst output path output path (either XML path or Row/Column location) input stream path (either XML path or Row/Column location) of operation output stream path (either XML path or Row/Column location) of operation type of call being made (Java Class, Java Object, JMS, TCP, HTTP). a constant used to default a set/get or provide a literal for a set/get action. resource location an XPath like (similar syntax) location of the node to manipulate define if action should generate a value, it will use "value" attribute if applicable When working with XML, it is necessary to define the appropriate namespaces and associated prefixes that will be used in the incoming and outgoing XML documents and any mapping that may be namespace specific. This is used to pull in other tinx files so the map can be expanded and/or referenced. map is used to define an action that will when a parse finds a match is will cause all subsequent actions to be executed. This moves the input src data to the output dst location. This is like the if statement, when a condition "left" is found or applied to an operator ("opr") and a "right" side or "value", the location is based on the input data. If the condition is true, then the actions inside the when are executed. delete the src input node. move the input from one location "src" to another "dst" destination. for every occurance limited by "min" and "max", execute the child actions. call a particular type of processing (Java Class, Java Object, JMS, TCP, HTTP) defined by a combination of class,method, and uri. The id is to provide human reference. If you want to reuse an existing defined call, ref can be used to re-invoke a call based on the id. This represents a paramater that is passed into the call element type. The sequence matches the order in the input parameters to the call. The result identifies the return type of a call and the mapping of the data to the output document. TINX is a transformation action processor. TINX stands for "Tinx Is Not Xslt.
