Regarding this problem in general... I was unable to get Cocoon to make an SQL request using JConnect (Sybase JDBC). There's an issue in the way the connection setup is attempted. However I use this JDBC driver in servlets all the time, so I just made a servlet output an XML document (be sure to set the content type) and included the URL for that servlet, with parameters, in my XML file. It's working perfectly. > -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- > Fra: Soren Neigaard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sendt: 13. november 2001 15:52 > Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Emne: SV: What is Cocoon good for??? > > > Theres no doubt that you are right, and I could easily see that I was using > Cocoon in a way it wasn't intended to used in, but I couldn't see what I > should do :) I will look into Generators right away! > > /Soren > > -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- > Fra: David Rosenstrauch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sendt: 13. november 2001 06:40 > Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Emne: Re: What is Cocoon good for??? > > > At 03:33 PM 11/13/01 -0800, you wrote: > >Ok I'm a bit frustrated right now, but nothing I do works :( > > > >I have tried to deliver XML from my Java method to C2 as a stream of ASCII > >XML, as a string of ASCII XML, as a SAXSource and as a DOMSource.
