XML MULTI-STAGE POLICY IMPLEMENTATION IN XSLT

A computing system for use in a computer network is provided. The computing system includes a main software application for providing bi-directional data sharing across directories, databases and applications on the computer network. The main software application works, at least in part, in response to XML events. The computing system also includes a data store that can send one or more XML documents back and forth to a transformation engine, the XML documents including XML events. The transformation engine is provided for taking the XML documents and applying the XML documents against an XSL style sheet or an XSL transformation to transform the XML events into a different type of event for a controlled application or service.
