Hey, All... I've been using Cocoon 2.0 for about a month & 1/2 now and I've run into the following problem:
First off, refer to the Order example that comes with cocoon which when you hit the submit, it will return the xml typed into the textarea. Now, for testing, I've taken my xml doc, modified the stream pipeline to use my transform and then output html. Using the same form, entered my xml text (cut & Paste from my text file) - hit submit and it works like a charm - the generated HTML comes back after the transform. Now, the problem is in an application I'm writing that needs to send the XML data as a parameter call to the cocoon server and capture the resulting HTML. Using the URL class and URLConnection class, I have to pass the parameter (say "Foo") and the URLEncoder.encode value of the parameter (URLEncoder.encode(some text))... The problem is that the stream or cocoon doesn't see the parameter passed in. Any ideas on how to get it to understand the URLEncoded parameter. Here's some example code: StringBuffer uri = new StringBuffer("http://localhost:8080/cocoon/request1"); try { URL url = new URL(uri.toString()); HttpURLConnection u_connect = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection(); u_connect.setRequestMethod("POST"); u_connect.setDoOutput(true); u_connect.setRequestProperty("Foo", URLEncoder.encode(some text)); u_connect.connect(); // print out some results... } catch (exceptions...) {} Now, here's some of the output: content length: 12341 content type : text/html content encode: null request method: POST response code : 500 response mssg : Internal Server Error e:java.lang.NullPointerException So, in other words it gets there and then returns the nullPointerException afterwards. Now, remember the text is pure XML so that's why it needs encoding - the URLConnection nor URL will accept it due to illegal characters otherwise... any help would be greatly appreciated... peace.
