First of all. We are developing this Generator for testing reasons. We had a look at the Cocoon 2.0 Sources and couldn't find any efforts to support XML:DB, so we thought this wasn't going to be supported until a Final release of the XML:DB API. The other reasons we wanted to create a Generator for eXist was that we modified the database in a way that users are able to instantiate/start/stop eXist from within a simple Servlet and make local calls ( not over http- or rmi-calls ). A lot of users had the problem that they could not use eXist because they were not able to start an exist server on their external Webspace. By this we could enable users which only have access to a plain old servlet engine to use eXist. We wanted to add some two or three simple parameters to the Generator that the configuration-file would become obsolete. The other thing was that we wanted to test the performance-gains we get by passing the internally used SAX-events directly to Cocoon and not serializing to XML and then to SAX again and not by using some higher level protocol to transport the data. I don't think this can be done via the standard XML:DB API. If not please correct me.
Another question to the XML:DB Generator. We also wanted to create a Serializer or Transformer to store results and transformed XML-documents in eXist. Is there already a way to do this with any component ? Regards, Christofer Dutz C-Ware IT-Service Inh.
