Hi Ivelin,
Thanks for your reply.
This isn't quite quite working. It seems to insist on resolving to a
file.
ERROR (2002-07-07) 09:08.29:743 [sitemap]
(/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/action/postrequest.html)
Thread-45/XIncludeTransformer: Error in processXIncludeElement
org.apache.cocoon.ResourceNotFoundException: Resource not found.:
org.apache.excalibur.source.SourceNotFoundException: Resource not found
file:/opt/tomcat/webapps/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/content/form/categories_combo.xml
My xinclude statement reads currently as follows:
<map:match pattern="action/categories_combo.xml">
<map:generate src="content/dynamic/categories.xsp"
type="serverpages"/>
<map:transform src="stylesheets/categories2combo.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
my xform page reads:
<xf:selectMany ref="/category" selectUIType="listbox">
<xf:caption>Category</xf:caption>
<xi:include
href="categories_combo.xml#xpointer(/xformcategories)"/>
<xf:violations class="error"/>
</xf:selectMany>
(this isn't exactly where I want it but I figured I'd move back if I got
it working).
Note the pointer is because I need to have a root element to make the
document valid. I'd rather not make my root element the selectMany.
Thanks,
Andy
