Hi Minh-Quan,
thank you very much!
I made a standalone commandline tool which uses the cocoon library. It
takes an xml file and a parameter string as arguments. It should produce a
html file, the same as would be produced by the url "myfile.xml?arg=val".
I think a standalone tool with its own commandline entry point is needed,
because the cocoon commandline entry does not take arguments ('error:
myfile.xml?arg=val not found').
So I call my tool:
$ webtool myfile.xml page=4
My tool would create myProducer, which should then do the task, as you
wrote. So I give it a method like this:
Document getMyDocument (String xml,String args);
Let's look at the method in ProducerFromFile:
public Document getDocument(HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception
{
String file = Utils.getBasename(request, this.context);
this.monitor.watch(Utils.encode(request), new File(file));
return parser.parse(new InputSource(file));
}
As you said I have to do it in a similar way, but involve the arguments
somehow. I guess in the ProducerFromFile the arguments are stored in the
request parameter. So I could simulate a url like "myfile.xml?args" by
creating a request object on the fly and do the rest like ProducerFromFile.
So far so good, but two single questions remain:
- How is myProducer involved?
There is the static main function of my webtool
class. Can I simply create my producer and call
the getMyDocument method?
- How to make my HttpServletRequest?
I tried something like that before, but since
HttpServletRequest is abstract I cannot make
it myself.
I would very appreciate if you could give me a second tip.
Thank you,
Markus
