- So I'd like to call this [KoraInHell], but that's not a descriptive wiki
word. :)
+ "How to include generated content (i.e. content produced by a pipeline) into
the body of an email sent by the sendmail logicsheet."
+ [ChristianHaul] explained, in a reply to my plea for assistance to the
coocon-users list, that the correct way to do this is to use Cocoon's [utility
logicsheet|XSPUtil]. __In particular, use the {{util:get-source}} element,
wrapped in {{xsp:expr}}__.
- !!In which yhos flails about trying to get a Sendmail component to include
content from another pipeline.
-
- ''Here's what I'm trying to do:''
-
- Include generated content (i.e. content produced by a pipeline) into the body
of an email sent by sendmail action or logicsheet.
+ Here's a sendmail XSP, {{mail.xsp}} that implements this:
- Unfortunately, neither the documentation, nor the cocoondev.org wiki discuss
this. They go into great detail into [how to add a request parameter to a
mail|http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/xsp/sendmail.html], but not
generated content. Thus, I've been going at this by trial and error.
-
- The [sendmail
action|http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/actions/sendmail-action.html] has
been a deadend, so I've looked at the sendmail logicsheet. Below is mail.xsp,
my attempt to implement sending a message body created by a pipeline. That
pipeline's output is brought in via [CInclude] Please note that I have defined
the necessary namespaces in the xsp:page element:
+ xmlns:xsp-request="http://apache.org/xsp/request/2.0";
+ xmlns:util="http://apache.org/xsp/util/2.0";
- xmlns:sendmail="http://apache.org/cocoon/sendmail/1.0";
+ xmlns:sendmail="http://apache.org/cocoon/sendmail/1.0";>
? +
- xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"; >
- <xsp:logic />
- <sendmail:to>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</sendmail:to>
? ^^
+ <sendmail:to>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</sendmail:to>
? + ^
- <sendmail:subject>Pipeline Results</sendmail:subject>
+ <sendmail:subject>Test Email from Cocoon</sendmail:subject>
+ <!-- Modify the next line to point to your mail server -->
+ <sendmail:body><xsp:expr>
+ <util:get-source uri="cocoon://mail/payload"/>
+ </xsp:expr></sendmail:body>
- <sendmail:body>The results of processing the pipeline
- triggered at the uri: workPlanning/contents. are below.<br/>
- <!-- NB: the request below has been tested and works when called
directly -->
- <cinclude:include src="cocoon://workPlanning/contents"
element="included" />
- </sendmail:body>
+ You'd use the request parameters logicsheet to get {{to}}, {{from}}, and
{{smtphost}}, in practice.

- When we request workPlanning/send, Cocoon fails with an error:
+ We've also defined another pipeline for the payload:
+ {{{<map:match pattern="payload">
+ <map:generate src="payload.xml" />
+ <map:serialize type="text" />
+ </map:match>}}}
- {{{org.apache.cocoon.components.language.LanguageException: Error compiling

- So what's the right way to go about this?
