Creating New Resources
Percussion provides five options for creating new resources:
- based on an HTML page;
- based on a database table;
- based on a DTD;
- based on a white page assembler;
- from scratch.
Resources fall into three categories:
- Query resources retrieve data from the Repository, map it to an XML document, and apply formatting from any XSL stylesheet that might be associated with the resource.
- Update resources modify the Repository with data drawn from an XML document.
- Non-text Resources retriever binary data, such as graphic files, from the Repository.
