Description:

This node allows you to run any XML package that exists on the site, with specified runtime parameters if necessary.

Full Syntax:

<XmlPackage Name="string" RuntimeParams="pararm1=value1&param2=value2&param3=value3" OutputType="INLINE|CDATA"/>

Notes:

• If the OutputType is set to INLINE, the output results are nested inside the InnerXml area of this node in the WSI output Xml document. If CDATA, WSI will create a CDATA section inside the WSI output Xml document. This allows you to return almost any kind of data from the XmlPackage.
• OutputType is default to INLINE if not provided.
• The XmlPackage must already exist on the storefront site, in one of the supported XmlPackage directories ({root}/XmlPackages or the skin XmlPackages folder).

Warnings:

This is an extremely powerful node. XML packages should only be executed after they have been thoroughly tested in a separate environment.

Example(s):

This example runs the skin.helloworld.xml.config, which responds with a simple greeting
<AspDotNetStorefrontImport>
<XmlPackage Name=" skin.helloworld.xml.config" OutputType="CDATA"/>
</AspDotNetStorefrontImport>

Returns:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AspDotNetStorefrontImportResult Version="" DateTime="3/4/2007 7:25:07 PM">
<XmlPackage Name="skin.helloworld.xml.config"><![CDATA[<b>Hello World</b>]]></XmlPackage>
</AspDotNetStorefrontImportResult>
