Personalization in GX WebManager depends on a number of things:
- HTML of the page
- XML containing request and session information
- XSL to reformat the page based on personalization expressions
These three are combined on the server side, which results in plain HTML being sent out to the visitor of the website.
The XSL that is used to transform the combined page, request and session information can be viewed by adding "xsldebug=true" to the URL of the page, e.g.:
http: //<backend server>/web/show/id=123456?xmldebug=true |
In order for this to work, you need to be logged in with the Tomcat administrative login.
To experiment with transformations, try the BIT-101 XPath Query Tool developed by Keith Peters.
