Introduction to Mapforce 2007 XML Spy MapForce 2007 + 1 6 1 Altova Certified Engineer (ACXE™) XML Master Basic Certification XML Master Professional Certification mf Our Altova Mapforce is designed for students comfortable with XML and Altova XML Spy who need to map one or more the following: xml to xml, database to xml, schema to schema, text to xml. Mapforce provides a graphical interface for transforming one xml schema to another, ultimately generating XSLT (1.0 or 2.0) for xml to xml mapping, or Java, C++ and C# for database to xml mapping. The class also covers setting conditional logic to determine how to process the incoming data in order to obtain the desired output. This class is typically customized to address the specific needs of the user.
