Hi! I would first generate the data(featured article) and then format it with xslt. Another way would be to generate the content-page, then include the data one time, and then format it with xslt. I have pipelines with up to four xslt-transformations, because I think that's faster(especially if you don't use params in the xslt) than multiple queries to a db.
Yes, and you can put xinclude in the content page, take a look at the Xinclude-transformer.

Content File: featuredArticle.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsp:page xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp"; xmlns:xsp-request="http://apache.org/xsp/request/2.0"; xmlns:dbtags=http://gvs/dbtags> <page> <title>Fall in New Hampshire</title> <writer>The Itinerant Monk</writer> <article> blah-blah-blah List of Hiking Trails <dbtags:get-list-of-trails/> </article> </page> </xsp:page> Style Sheet: formatter.xsl <table> <tr> <td class="title"> <xinclude:include href="http://localhost/cocoon/gvs/xsp/{$tab}/{$request-url}#xpointer(//title )"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="title"> <xinclude:include href="http://localhost/cocoon/gvs/xsp/{$tab}/{$request-url}#xpointer(//autho r)"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="title"> <xinclude:include href="http://localhost/cocoon/gvs/xsp/{$tab}/{$request-url}#xpointer(//artic le)"/> </td> </tr> </table> This does what I want it to do, but at a cost: The -entire- featuredArticle.xml is loaded three times, parsed three times and, for the get-list-of-trails tag, the database is queried three times - you get the picture. There must be a better way to do something like this... I would appreciate any suggestions/advice/pointers...
