Way cool !
We've been using castor .93 for quite serious xml traffic between hundreds win c++ clients and a java portal. Great performance. Donating this transformer also saved me some work. As I mentioned before I am workin on a little prototype that'll hopefully introduce some HTML Forms symmetry in cocoon. >From an earlier email by Konstantin: >It would be also fine to have an action that >performs the opposite >operation: set properties of JavaBean object(s) with request param values >using XPath expressions, e.g.: >customer/firstname = Ozzy >customer/lastname = Osbourne >can be converted to XML: ><customer> > <firstname>Ozzy</firstname> > <lastname>Osbourne</lastname> ></customer> I am working on this with Dmitri's help using his JXPath lib. http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-commons/jxpath/ It's being used for Jakarta JSTL and Workflow (which says enough for its quality). Let me know if someone else is working in this direction so that we don't double the work.
