What do you think - is it possible to eliminate StreamGenerator by adding some functionality to the RequestFactory?

An InputStreamSource would be nice, so that any Generator can act on it.

src="inputstream://"

No, I've meant RequestFactory, from compontents.request package, not an input source.

Yes, I understood, I replied with the possibility of a source that builds on the Request inputstream.

Same place where MIME is decrypted and file attachments are processed.

I don't understand what you want to do with the request factory here
If the Request interface doesn't have inputstream, it simply doesn't, what would you like to do with the factory?

This is incredible, if I want to get a stream from a request I have to have Servlets!

We have a bunch of methods on the request, is there a reason that we cannot get the inputstream? I don't see the real need of having it this way, does anyone know if there was a reason for it?

Is there any justification for getInputStream() for non-servlet environment?

Simple example: web services. the request contains the data that I must process.

Bad example. It is servlet environment, again. It is not command line or other environment.

Good example. Web services are not done only on servlets. Messaging systems use asynch web services. Component systems are not based on servlets. SOAP can go almost everywhere.

If no, I think it's better to try to encapsulate servlet-specific logic into the factory.

What's your take?

Show me the code. I want to add a getInputStream() method to the Request interface. And make a cocoon source to get it in the sitemap.

What do you propose?

BTW, this has in fact come out during the input pipelines discussion, from a conceptual POV. I wasn't sure, so I dealt in the code and this is what I found...
