By non-data I meant a pipeline that only uses the request parameters as its direct input, for example: RequestGenerator -> CreateSQL -> SQLTransformer ->. . . in that case, "CreateSQL" would be an XSLT transform that, based on the request parameters, creates suitable XML for SQLTransformer to make a database query. The corresponding sitemap excerpt looks like: <map:match pattern="sql-query/*.xml"> <map:generate type="request"/> <map:transform src="request-to-sql.xsl"/> <map:transform type="sql"> <map:parameter name="use-connection" value="prodDb"/> </map:transform> <map:serialize type="xml"/> </map:match> Does this help? -- -- Bertrand Delacrétaz, www.codeconsult.ch -- web technologies consultant - OO, Java, XML, C++ --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]>
