Bartlomiej,
I don't have an immediate solution for your problem, but I am currently working on a new generator: HttpProxyGenerator. It is specifically intended to allow easy integration of XML content across multiple portals. The original idea was an extention to XMLForm which would allow interaction between an end user and a portal, where the logic and content is provided by a third party vendor. The implementation will be based on Jakarta HttpClient to allow more sophisticated connection handling, request manipulation, redirects following, session handling, login, etc. I am glad that you reached to the same idea independently. Maybe you can help me iron out the requirements. Can you describe the use case scenario for the problem you're trying to solve. What markup do you use for form submission to Cocoon and then to the perl server? Have you considered XForms? http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/howto/xmlform-wizard/howto-xmlform-wizard.html Regards, Ivelin Bartlomiej Frackiewicz wrote: > Hi folks, > > sorry for my re-posting, but my problem still exists and makes me headache. > > i want to transform dynamic xml, which i generate with url requests like >http://cart.my.server/perl/GetMyCart?sessionID=lala, so my current sitemap: > > <map:match pattern="getmycart.html"> > <map:act type="request"> > <map:parameter name="parameters" value="true"/> > <map:generate src="http://cart.my.server/perl/GetMyCart{requestQuery}"/> > <map:transform type="xslt" src="stylesheets/getmycart.xsl"> > <map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/> > </map:transform> > </map:act> > <map:serialize/> > </map:match> > > works fine, but i need to post data and than this solution does not work. so i have >learned this weekend the xsp pages, and thought this would work in a xsp page: > > <snip language="Java"> :-) > URL u = new URL("http://cart.my.server/perl/GetMyCart?sessionID=lala";); > HttpURLConnection huc = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection(); > huc.setRequestMethod("POST > huc.connect(); > > InputStream in = huc.getInputStream(); > > int c; > while ((c = in.read()) != -1) { > text.append((char)c); > } > > .. > > return text.toString(); > </snip> > > but this is not interpreted as xml, it is already well-formed and all chars are >escaped (i. e. <) so my xslt transformer nothing matches, btw i am not a java >programmer so don't laugh about my code. what is the trick here? can i use jsp-pages >(which currently do not run on my tomcat3/cocoon2 server) to print out the clear xml, >must i use the Stream Generator (which i absolutly don't understand how this work), >or is this not possible with core cocoon? > > please point me to the right direction, i thank you in advance. > > happy coding, bart > > p.s. here is an example of an request to >http://cart.my.server/perl/GetMyCart?sessionID=lala copied out of internet explorer. > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> > <response> > <service request-status="complete"> > <messageID>1024848144s27995</messageID> > <sessionID>lala</sessionID> > <request-param count="3"> > <param name="mediumID">1</param> > <param name="languagecode">ger</param> > <param name="sessionID">lala</param> > </request-param> > </service> > <message> > <cart-list count="0" /> > </message> > </response> > > -- -= Ivelin =- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
