Looks like this was somebody else's problem before. Searching the mailing list archive I found this posting that has seemingly never been answered:
XML to CSV issues http://www.mail-archive.com/cocoon-users@xml.apache.org/msg03872.html I have precisely the same problem: I have to enclose my document in XML tags in order to make it work, but that is not what we want. We need a plain CSV text file. Has anyone solved that issue? Karl: Thanks, but where do I do this in Cocoon 1.8.2? What file? Or is this hint C2 only? Environment: Cocoon 1.8.2, Tomcat 3.2.4, Blackdown J2SDK 1.3.1, SuSE Linux 7.3.
