Marcelo,

What is dbprism? Is this your software? If Not, can you reply with URL to
it.  Where can I find dbprism/excel.xsl?


TIA
Alex

  To returns Excel files from Cocoon 2 there is a simple trick:
  If you returns from your XSP an XML like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW empno="1">
<name>Velasquez</name>
<job>President</job>
<sal>2500</sal>
</ROW>
<ROW empno="2">
<name>Ngao</name>
<job>VP, Operations</job>
<sal>1450</sal>
</ROW>
<ROW empno="3">
<name>Nagayama</name>
<job>VP, Sales</job>
<sal>1400</sal>
</ROW>
......
</ROWSET>

 And transform it with an stylesheet like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- Written by Marcelo F. Ochoa "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -->
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:template match="/">
   <html>
    <table>
       <tr><th>Emp Number</th><th>Name</th><th>Job</th><th>Sal</th></tr>
           <xsl:for-each select="ROWSET/ROW">
              <xsl:sort select="sal"
                          data-type="number"
                          order="ascending"/>
          <tr>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="@empno"/></td>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="name"/></td>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="job"/></td>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="sal"/></td>
          </tr>
           </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
   </html>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

  and finally adding this definitions into sitemap.xmap

   <map:serializer name="excel"  mime-type="application/vnd.ms-excel"
src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.XMLSerializer">
    <encoding>iso-8859-1</encoding>
   </map:serializer>

   <map:match pattern="xmlj/DEMOj.excel">
    <map:generate type="serverpages" src="/xmlj/DEMOj.xsp"/>
    <map:transform src="stylesheets/dbprism/excel.xsl"/>
    <map:serialize type="excel"/>
   </map:match>

  and that's all.

  Best regards, Marcelo.
