What Does .xtp Stand For? - Web Wiz Support and Community Forums

Extension: XTP
Program and/or Extension Function Program and/or Extension Function This is either a program name or general name that best describes the description of the file\'s format if the extension represents a general type (e.g., .TXT .HTML). There may be more than one Program and/or Extension Function with related information reported for any given extension (i.e., multiple tables on the page) as no standards agency exists for file extensions. The entry may be linked to a site that controls the program named with the referenced extension or to a site which describes the format in detail or controls it.'); return false">		Company Company This is the company that makes/markets the program or controls the function for the referenced extension. If linked, clicking on this entry will take you to that company\'s Web site home page.'); return false">
XTree Data File
Specific Notes Specific Notes What you\'ll find here are any notes specific to the referenced extension and program/function combination. This can be something as simple as a general description of what the program does to very specific comments about how to open/view the contents of the file. Or, nothing :-).'); return false">
(None)
MIME Type MIME Type A specific MIME type that is used to describe the type of encoding necessary to send this file over the Internet or open the file when received. While there is a controlling ageny that assigns MIME types they are largely ignored and so multiple entries may appear here for any given extension/program combination.'); return false">	File Classification File Classification A very general classification of the type of file the extension/program combination represents. This is a top-level classification (e.g., text, graphic, XML) so that eventually file types can be grouped for reporting purposes.'); return false">	Associated Links Associated Links Links found here are closely associated with the extension/program combination or format of the file. Often this will be a link to a file format description or a free viewer for this file type.'); return false">
		None
Identifying Characters Identifying Characters Some file formats have unique characters at the start of the file. A file having those special characters at the start is more likely to be a specific format. If there is an entry here you can open the file in a text editor (or binary file viewer - see the Look Into File link on the FILExt site) and check the unknown file for the specific characters as a sort of double check. The data in this field are presented in up to two forms: hexadecimal and ASCII text (the ASCII text is only included if it makes sense). The designators Hex: and ASCII: do not appear in the file itself; just the information after the colon. Any information in this field has been provided by Marco Pontello from his TrID database; used with permission.'); return false">
(None or Unknown)
Program ID Program ID When Windows associates a program with a file it uses a Program ID in the registry to identify the program. The Program ID is a shortcut term usually defined by the program\'s author. There are no standardized Program IDs; however, the Program ID can tell you what program, in specific, has captured the particular extension. The Program IDs listed here come from the Associate This! Extensionbase and are used with permission.'); return false">
(None or Unknown)
General Notes General Notes These are notes that might apply to a wide number of entries in the database. Their meaning should be self-evident.'); return false">
Note: This entry has not yet been verified by FILExt. It was submitted to the list and appeared to be accurate; however, no verification links have so far been found on the Internet. Please use this association data with that in mind.

	XTP is a couple of things - it's a multi-media transfer protocol (like tcp on steroids), but used in this context, it stands for an XML Transformer Page. .xtp is a combination of Java Servelets, JSP's, and XML files and style sheets. There's another similar but different competing version of the technology called XSP - XML Server Pages. IIRC, the difference is that XTP uses XPath to create document subclasses. They both do the pre-compile thing for serverlets/beans/jsp's to provide the page framework, but data within the page can be handled on the fly through the XML file. Works out to be a good way of combining precompiled page and server code with dynamic data. One of the Apache projects plays with it a lot and there's a Java app server called Resin that's built around it. Edited by dpyers - 02 December 2004 at 4:12am
	Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
