In this chapter, we built a simple e-commerce application to illustrate browsing on autopilot and explored the use of XSL for conversion. The three cornerstones of the project are

  • Good modeling of the XML document

  • The ability to accept XML documents in a variety of formats but convert them to your internal format

  • The ability to post requests automatically, in effect implementing a browser on autopilot
