What are Descriptors?

Descriptors are XSL stylesheets that perform specific, well-defined tasks in Kowari^TM. They are composed of the following components:

Extensions to XSL:
- <query> tags enabling you to issue iTQL^TM commands to Kowari databases from within XSL stylesheets
- <descriptor> tags enabling one Descriptor to call another
Java^TM Objects that invoke Descriptors and return their results
Java Servlets that invoke Descriptors using HTTP
SOAP endpoints that enable all Descriptors to be accessible as SOAP services

The Descriptor Management page is available at http://localhost:8080/webservices/descriptor/index.jsp when Kowari is running.
