This stuff mostly brushes my hair as it goes by, but what about moving these
problems to the XSLT? I deal mainly with sites that get pregenerated before
going live - so be gentle :) ? Here goes...
First, I think development cocoon and deployment cocoon should be two
different things. They have totally different needs. What I describe below
would be for the development cocoon which could be exported to the
deployment cocoon. In addition, I would like to see these things be file
based (...ducking...) - so GUIs can be easily created - so administration
can be moved to administrators.
Content aggregation can be handled by the xsl document function. These
things can be keyed and cached for excellent performance. You keep all your
XML content/configs and XSLTs behind WEB-INF so they are secure. Here is a
simple example (not keyed):
[[ a transformation is performed against something like:
<page xsl_fileref="body2col.xsl" id="p0000000001" is_index="true"
display_label_link="true" label="Page 1" title="Page One">
<content>
<xml id="index_en.xml" position="center_panel"/>
<xml id="blurb.xml" position="right_panel"/>
</content>
</page>
]]
[[ this part of the transformation finds content and starts the
transformation on each content piece:
<xsl:template match="content">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="xml">
<xsl:variable
name="content_config"
select="document(concat($context,
'/WEB-INF/styling/content.xml'))/config/content"/>
<xsl:variable
name="xml_id"
select="@id"/>
<xsl:variable
name="content_xml"
select="$content_config/content-xml[@id=$xml_id]"/>
<xsl:variable
name="content_folder"
select="$content_xml/@folder"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="document(concat($context,
'/WEB-INF/_sitexml',$content_folder, $xml_id))/*">
<xsl:with-param name="xml_id" select="$xml_id"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
]]
best,
-Rob
