just an idea : you have your xml file, you transform it with xslt, and your stylesheet calls some java beans you use through xalan java extension. have a look on Apache's xalan-j page. Globally : you have a namespace for "java", you use your beans this way : <xsl:variable name="mybean"><xsl:value-of select="java:package.MyBean.new()"/></xsl:variable>
then to call a function : <xsl:value-of select="myfunction($mybean,$arg0,$arg1)"/> given that the parameters (arguments) are defined as xsl variables. HTH but this is sometimes VERY useful because java is roughly quicker to execute that xslt... My 2 cents ;-) Babs -- website : www.babsfrance.fr.st ICQ : 135868405 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Pfuhl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 7:11 PM Subject: action as input for a generator ?? > hi > > imagine the following scenario: > > i have an xml-src which i have to enrich with > different > elements depending on the input document. with other > words the input xml will scale my process. in this > process i have to call different methods not driven > by cocoon but another underlaying system. > so i was thinking of using an action which will take > the input src and after processing it, it will return > the final document for transformation and > serialization > controled by the sitemap. > > now my question(s): > > is it possible to use an action as the input for > a generator or do i have to write my own generator? > > i also thought of xsp, but i think it is to complex > to do it this way. i want to separate the logic which > processes the input as an autonomic module. > > fyi: before i only used actions to manage formdata, > e.g. > manipulating xml-files depending on formdata. but now > i have no real file i can write to - so i have to > manipulate it to transform and serialize it directly > afterwards. > > it would be very nice if somebody could give me an > advice how a solution can look like!! > > thanks in advance !! > > daniel > > __________________________________________________________________ > > Gesendet von Yahoo!
