REVITALIZE LEGACY APPs WITH XSLT AND JAVASCRIPT 
 
Rebuilding legacy Web applications into newer, leaner, faster 
incarnations is one of the many uses for XML. However, getting new 
software to seamlessly fit into the space that older apps occupy 
requires skillful use of a variety of XML technologies and techniques, 
often including JavaScript. 
 
By using JavaScript to handle various portions of your XML, refactored 
applications can handle the demands of SQL database interaction and Web 
availability without requiring extensive and inefficient code. 
 
The primary advantage of JavaScript is that you can use it to extend 
XSLT transformations, which can streamline practically any data 
manipulation task a Web application performs. When you combine that 
with XML's native ADO support, database and Web application interaction 
becomes even simpler. 
 
See how one developer refactors a legacy app using XSLT and JavaScript, 
and learn how you can adapt this technique to your own Web application 
revamp projects.
