Hi Victor,
I believe that you biggest hurdle is performing the second stage - as you
need to transformation needs to take TEX input and deliver PDF output, which
is beyond the remit of the Cocoon framework (intermediates are XML).
Have you considered using xsl:fo during your content rendering, ie. instead
of using Tex-XSL, using FOP (formatting objects for PDF) which allows you to
generated to PDF directly.
Your pipeline would then look something like:
<map:pipeline>
<map:match pattern="my-doc.pdf">
<map:generate type="serverpages" src="my-doc.xsp"/>
<map:transform src="xsp2fop.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="pdf"/>
</map:match>
</map:pipeline>
You will need to provide the 'xsp2fop.xsl' stylesheet, as this defines how
your XML output from 'my-doc.xsp' should be presented. The other components
are standard in the Cocoon distribution.
I hope that this helps some
Adrian
