Andreas, Just a random thought but:
I believe that if you use the request-parameter action, you can actually retrieve the query string as a sitemap parameter. Then you could use that string as your GET parameter set (which would forward all parameters that were passed in). Check the source code for org.apache.cocoon.acting.RequestParamAction to see how it works. If your issue is security around using the GET method, then I would suggest writing a stylesheet that took the query string and placed it in a hidden formfield then use javascript to automatically submit the form. (An ugly hack...) HTH, Aaron Just a theory here, but you could write your own action to extract the request query and -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Hartmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 7:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: How to call an external Servlet?

I dont't know how to do it directly with POST method, but This is exactly my problem. With GET everything works fine, but I couldn't find a way to pass parameters by POST. I don't want to set the parameters in the sitemap, I want to "forward" the parameters from an HTML form (it's a message board servlet). >this one works fine if GET method is available. >beware to use '&' instead of '&' > > >-----Mensaje original----- >De: Andreas Hartmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Enviado el: domingo, 13 de enero de 2002 18:37 >Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Asunto: How to call an external Servlet? > > >Hi folks, > >I want to process the output of an external servlet through C2. >The servlet gets FORM-parameters via GET and POST. >How can I invoke the servlet? > >Thanks in advance, >Andreas > > >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >Please check that your question has not already been answered in the >FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> > >To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
