Step 1. Create a Technology Service

You create a Technology Service using the LANSA Editor. The Provider and Technology Service name uniquely identify the Technology Service.

When you create a Technology Service you define its properties. The properties store definitions and options used by the LANSA Editor and the WAM runtime.

Step 2. Create the Technology Service XSL Stylesheets

How WAMs use XSL stylesheets to transform the WebRoutine XML document into different presentation formats and the purpose of Technology Services, is described earlier in this guide. Refer to WAMs Deconstructed.

LANSA uses XSL stylesheets itself to generate the WebRoutine XML document and the WebRoutine XSL stylesheet for a Technology Service as shown here:

When XSL is generated for a WebRoutine, LANSA generates an in-memory XML document named the Technology Service Markup Language (TSML) document. This is the input document used to create both the WebRoutine LXML document and the

When you create a Technology Service you need to provide two TSP stylesheets:

• the The first one to generate the WebRoutine XSL stylesheet.
• the The second one to generate the WAM layout weblet.

Step 2a. Create the WebRoutine TSP Stylesheet

The WebRoutine TSP stylesheet is used to create the WebRoutine XSL stylesheet as shown in the diagram in Step 2.

You must follow this naming convention (Name must be all lower-case):

tsp_<provider>_<technology_service_name>_WebRoutine.xsl

Where <provider> is the Technology Service Provider and <technology_service_name> is the Technology Service name. For example, for LANSA:XHTML the WebRoutine TSP stylesheet name is:

tsp_lansa_xhtml_WebRoutine.xsl

The easiest way of creating a WebRoutine TSP stylesheet is to base it on the ones provided by LANSA.

Step 2b. Create the Weblet TSP Stylesheet

The Weblet TSP stylesheet is used to create the WAM Layout Weblet. When you create a WAM, LANSA checks if it has a Layout weblet. If it doesn't have one, it uses this TSP stylesheet to create one.

You must follow this naming convention (Name must be all lower-case):
tsp_<provider>_<technology_service_name>_webletbuilder.xsl

Where <provider> is the Technology Service Provider and <technology_service_name> is the Technology Service name. For example, for LANSA:XHTML the Weblet TSP stylesheet name is:

tsp_lansa_xhtml_webletbuilder.xsl

The easiest way of creating a Weblet TSP stylesheet is to base it on the ones provided by LANSA.

Step 2c. Copy your Technology Service Stylesheets to the TSP directory

All TSP stylesheets must be placed in the TSP directory:
