Example

The following example shows a publication rule for publishing an state[@type='aggregateState'] category instance to the Block container.

<publicationRule ruleType="bootstrap" categoryName="state" containerId="32000"> 
   <instanceId type="constant" value="0" /> 
   <expireType type="static" /> 
   <categoryData> 
     <state xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/09/sip/state" 
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
            manual="false" xsi:type="aggregateState"> 
        <availability>18500</availability> 
     </state> 
   </categoryData> 
</publicationRule> 

In this example, the category data is a hard-coded XML string of an state[@type='aggregateState'] category instance.

The following example shows a publication rule for publishing a note category instance to the Public container.

    <publicationRule ruleType="transformation" categoryName="note" containerId="100">
      <categoryData>
        <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
             version="1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
             xmlns:ct="https://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/09/sip/commontypes" 
             xmlns:tns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/09/sip/note" 
             exclude-result-prefixes="tns ct"> 
          <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/> 
          <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> 
          <xsl:template match="node()"> 
            <xsl:apply-templates select="//tns:note"/> 
          </xsl:template> 
          <xsl:template match="tns:note"> 
            <xsl:copy /> 
          </xsl:template> 
        </xsl:stylesheet>
      </categoryData> 
    </publicationRule>

In this example, the category data is an XSLT-generated XML string of the note category instance.
