Hi,
I'm using Cocoon 1.8.2 and it's great -
dynamic content generation in an efficient and controlled manner - a real
winner!
As with all technologies, there comes a point when
you want it to do more - and my current aspiration is to improve the way that
SQL is handled, specifically the ESQL.xsl logicsheet. What I am trrying to do is
to structure the query statement that is passed as part of the esql:query tag,
as follows:
...
<esql:query>
<zsql:select>
<zsql:field column="*"/> <zsql:source view="v_test"/> <zsql:where> <zsql:eq> <zsql:field column="id"/> <zsql:value><request:get-parameter name="id"></zsql:value> </zsql:eq> </zsql:where> </zsql:select> </esql:query> <esql:results>
...
</esql:results>
...
I have a logic sheet that handles the zsql
namespace and it works really well on its own - it even allows other logicsheets
(taglibs) to be called from it using a 'get-nested-content' template (such as
the <request:get-parameter..> in the sample). However, the above code
structure results in Cocoon generating a DOM sub-tree under the
<esql:query> tag, rather than calling the appropriate templates to format
the query string.
I have tried a number of approaches, including
adding the zsql namespace to the esql <xsp:page> tag, and I believe that
my logicsheet is locatable, as I created a jar, included it in the CLASSPATH and
also updated the cocoon.properties to point to it.
Is there something that I have missed, or am I
trying the impossible? Any help is gladly appreciated.
On a slightly different note, if anyone is curious
about the zsql stuff, please drop me a line as I am putting together an open
project to structure and deploy sql script from single source to multiple
destination (vendors) as well as documentation - a really nice showcase for
Cocoon, if nothing else.
Many thanks,
Adrian
