Use-Mappings Element (supplying the parameters)
The optional <use-mappings> element must be the last element in a mapping rule. This element contains a sequence of one or more <use> elements that identifies a mapping rule by its signature name through the name attribute:
<mapping match=”...”> ... <use-mappings> <use name=”myMappingRule1”/> <use name=”myMappingRule2”/> ... </use-mappings> </mapping>
The above only specifies parameter-less mapping rules. To supply the parameters for a mapping rule, the <use> element may optionally have an <args> element. The <args> element can have one or more <arg> elements that take expression sequences as their values:
<mapping match=”...> ... <use-mappings> <use name=”myMappingRule1”/> <args> <arg> <!-- arg0 --> </arg> ... <arg> <!-- argN --> </arg> </args> </use> ... </use-mappings> </mapping>
The myMappingRule1 mapping rule’s signature must contain (N+1) named parameters.
