As far as I understand, there are some taglibs supporting relational
databases for Cocoon XSP, but I have not come across any direct support for
native XML databases.
I am myself working on accessing an Xindice (dbXML) database through Cocoon
XSP and that is not very complicated to get to work. My database is on the
same server as Cocoon and I have used the dbXML java interface (as in the
dbXML Example1.java program) and implemented this in <xsp:logic> elements of
an XSP page. The only modification to the dbXML code - apart from collection
name and query string - is that you have to cast the returned resource as
XMLResource and use the getResultAsDOM method to get the DOM node into your
XSP page, something like
XMLResource res = (XMLResource) results.nextResource();
// Resultat ind i en DOM node
Document diplom = (Document) res.getContentAsDOM();
// Get the top node of the returned document
Element fetchedDoc = diplom.getDocumentElement();
Now, this can be cloned into the DOM structure of the XSP page:
<xsp:expr>XSPUtil.cloneNode(fetchedDoc, document)</xsp:expr>
and from there on you can do further processing in Cocoon, directly on the
nodes from your database.
It is quite simple but it seems to work. The only problem I have encountered
is that UTF-8 encoding in the DOM nodes returned from the database is
ignored somewhere in the processing as I wrote about to the list yesterday.
