Dynamic Spry datasets in ADDT

[kollectionFan]

From the website for Adobe Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox: Dynamic Spry datasets
- Adobe Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox helps customers export standard
Dreamweaver recordsets in XML format and use them to create dynamic Spry XML
Data Sets.

What does this mean, is this a new feature or does it just mean that
Dreamwever lets you create recordsets (as it has since the dawn of time) and we
can hand code something to output that as XML? Oh yes, that's really helping.
Not.

Hello,

The feature is called XML Export which automatically will transform a
recordset you do in your page into XML format. In this case you won't
have to write any code manually to transfer the necessary data in the
XML that the Spry featured page expects.

I just complete the example on
[url]http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spry_xml_export.html[/url]
Using Using XML Export to create dynamic Spry data sets.

You create a connection to your server and a record set for the data.
Then you create an export file where you insert the extension code that
converts the record set to an xml feed.

Once this is done you can use spry create the spry data set for the spry
application.

There was no hand coding at all using the extensions in the example.

It was cool, reminds me of using XSL to style xml feeds. I can see
creating a very nice CMS using Spry and the XML export extension.
