Message Panel
The message panel contains the schema of the message that the recipient expects. The name of the message panel is based on the type of path where the Transform task appears.
| Type of Path | Name of Context Panel |
|---|---|
| Input | Target Operation Context |
| Output | Mediation Operation Context |
| Fault | Mediation Fault Context |
You can use the data in the schemas from the context panel to construct the content of the message expected by the receiver. The message panel is actually an Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) template that specifies how data will be transformed to produce the expected message.
You do not need detailed knowledge of XSLT to create the mappings for the message. Most mappings can be accomplished by simple dragging from the context panel to the message panel, and also possibly using a few XPath functions for simple data manipulation. If you want to see the XSLT template that is created from your mappings, click the Show Edit Tab icon on the toolbar, then click the XSLT Source tab at the top of the XPath editor dialog.
See Data and Function Tabs and Managing Mappings for more information about using XPath functions and creating mappings.
