Marcus,
I've never worked with cocoon commandline. But from your message, I guess
that you want to produce a DOM tree explicitly. If so, then you don't need
to worry about the HttpServletRequest. As I understand (I'm also new with
cocoon 1.), the way cocoon 1 works is that the Request obj will get client
request and decide which producer to call. That's why HttpServletRequest is
there. If you pass to your webtool two arguments as you described, you can
just use the first one to create an input stream for the parser which will
return a DOM tree. What I don't understand is how you can make the Reactor
and the Formatter get involved.
