Re: [Mav-user] I want to switch to Maverick....
Hi,
I created a small example to illustrate things...
Take this configuration file:
(maverick.xml)
--
--
and then this control:
(XMLCtrl)
--
package nl.openedge.maverick.example.ctrl;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.infohazard.maverick.ctl.ThrowawayBean2;
import org.infohazard.maverick.flow.ControllerContext;
/**
* Simple XML test for Maverick.
* @author Eelco Hillenius
*/
public class XMLCtrl extends ThrowawayBean2
{
// dummy doc 1
private static final String xml1 =
""
+ ""
+ " Hi there"
+ " "
+ " "
+ " Page1"
+ " "
+ " "
+ "";
// dummy doc 2
private static final String xml2 =
""
+ ""
+ " Again"
+ " "
+ " "
+ " Page2"
+ " "
+ " "
+ "";
/** simple 'xml db' */
private static Map xmldb = new HashMap(2);
static
{
xmldb.put("doc1", xml1);
xmldb.put("doc2", xml2);
}
/**
* this parameter is set by Maverick when provided as a request
* parameter (like http://myserver/myapp/mycmd.m?view=myview);
* we use it to get the proper view.
*/
private String view;
/**
* the id of the xml document to use.
*/
private String docid;
/*
* @see org.infohazard.maverick.ctl.ThrowawayBean2#perform()
*/
protected String perform() throws Exception
{
// note that by now the properties 'view' and 'docid' should be
populated
// from the request
ControllerContext cctx = getCtx();
String xml = getXML(docid);
cctx.setModel(xml); // will serve as concrete view for the
transforms
return view;
}
/**
* Get the test XML document; this could also be of type
*
* java.lang.String
* java.io.Reader
* javax.xml.transform.Source
* org.w3c.dom.Node
*
* @param docid id of the document to get
* @return the xml doc as a String
*/
private String getXML(String docid)
{
return (String)xmldb.get(docid);
}
// we need the getters and setters in order to be able to populate the
// properties from the view
public String getDocid() { return docid; }
public String getView() { return view; }
public void setDocid(String string) { docid = string; }
public void setView(String string) { view = string; }
}
--
And finally, these XSLT templates:
(transform1.xsl)
--
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
Created with transform1.xsl
--
(transform2.xsl)
--
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
Created with transform2.xsl
--
Now, get this stuff into your webapp and test urls like (e.g.)
http://localhost:8080/yourwebapp/getxmldoc.m?view=view
Re: [Mav-user] I want to switch to Maverick....
Hi Eelco, Thank you for your reply - you are spot on in your assumption. I am now trying to implement a "first try" of Mav and find it is so simple and clean compared to Cocoon. To illustrate my problem described in my previous post. eg: http://easyspeedy.com/products/pricelist.html http://easyspeedy.com/products/datatransferusage.html is this the way to implement "one directory many different documents" command. or should i implement the ShuntFactory interface to make my own controller that exposes the request obj ?

Re: [Mav-user] I want to switch to Maverick....
1. It sounds to me that you do not need a lot of different commands, but possibly a lot of different views... If you need to do some Java action on a specific request, you can do that with a controller. You will (probably) at least end up with the number commands that you need to have controller classes. On the other hand, if most of your processing actually takes place in the XSL processing, and most of the time your controller does little more than just getting the XML from your XML repository, you could just define one command for that, and e.g. use a request parameter to figurure out which view (and thus which XSL transform) to use. 2. If the above works for you, your configuration file is probably not that big. Note that you can define your views globally (with all the transforms etc.) and reference them in the command definitions. If it still is too big, see if pre-prosessing the config file with XSLT works for you. See configuration option 'configTransform'.

RE: [Mav-user] I want to switch to Maverick....
To answer your last question, maybe you can split your xml file using external entities (as explained f.e. here: http://xml.oreilly.com/news/learningxml_0101.html?CMP=ILC-0PY480989785). Though I did not use this personally with the maverick xml file, it should work with any xml file. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by The 2004 JavaOne(SM) Conference Learn from the experts at JavaOne(SM), Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference, June 28 - July 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA REGISTER AND SAVE! http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf Priority Code NWMGYKND [INVALID FOOTER]
[Mav-user] I want to switch to Maverick....
Hi, We have used Cocoon for 2 years and sadly it has evolved into a 234 armed octopus. Last night I was again trying to "fix" another Cocoon2 issue, and in desperation I started googleing for another "java xml xslt framework" than Cocoon. After a some time I ended up with Maverick.java We are running a live website using Cocoon2/eXist xmldb/xslt/jBoss and if possible move slowly towards Maverick, implementing the Maverick servlet alongside the cocoon servlet. I have read the manual looked at the examples downloaded the source and is very impressed of the simplicity of this implementation. 1. we have a ton of xml docs located in the eXist db. They are all transformed using xslt and serialized as html. I can do all this using xslt in Mav. without any problem but how do I serve all these html pages just using one (is this right). 1a. can i use wildcard/regex in the ? 3. what html form template/validation system is the defacto standard with Mav. 4. does it require 2 Mav. servlets to serve /product/xx.html and /distros/xx.html. 5. can is split the maverick.xml file into more files so it would be easier to manage. (some of our cocoon.xml files are +1500 lines) Thanks in advance. -- Med venlig hilsen / Yours sincerely Peter http://easyspeedy.com ___ European Dedicated Server Hosting Extremely low prices, secure, and reliable Linux and BSD distributions only ___ --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by The 2004 JavaOne(SM) Conference Learn from the experts at JavaOne(SM), Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference, June 28 - July 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA REGISTER AND SAVE! http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf Priority Code NWMGYKND [INVALID FOOTER]
