XML View Specification
The specification of the dynamic view type can be described with an XML document. This document can be a file, a string, or a Document Object Model (DOM). See class IlsMvServer for details.
The XML document must be validated with the ILS XML Schema. This schema can be found in the ILSHOME/data directory: ils.xsd
Example
The following table shows the XML equivalent of an view specification .ils file written in View Specification Language.
