Why can't we use few transformations in mapplet ? like xml and target defintions, seq etc ? ..

Answer / ankur saini

i think we cant use target , seq etc in the mapplets
becuase this will restrict the basic need for which
mapplets are, that is re-usability...if you are using same
target then it wouldnt be reusable right. Mapplet is a set
of trancformations you use to load diff targets i would say.

same is the case with seq generator ..say you have a maplet
with a seq gen ...this is being used in two diff
mappings...then that seq gen will generate one set or seq
no for one mapping and anothe set for other mapping say
1,2,3 for first mapping and 4,5,6 for 2nd mapping but this
is not reusablitiy!!!!

Answer / srinu

If it allows Target and other transformations instead of
mapplet we can very well use Mapping.

Mapplet nothing but(parameter concept) set of
transformation logic you can use for similar kind of
mappings and save your time.
