Have a look at the XPathDirectoryGenerator in the scratchpad. With it, you can generate a directory listing, with a node extracted from each file. Eg, I used it to extract <description> elements from a list of Ant scripts: http://aft.sourceforge.net/examples/ The relevant config was: <map:sitemap .. <map:components .. <map:generators .. <map:generator name="xpathdirectory" src="org.apache.cocoon.generation.XPathDirectoryGenerator"/> ..... <!-- examples/index.html, listing all scripts --> <map:match pattern="examples/index.xml"> <map:generate type="xpathdirectory" src="content/xdocs/examples#/project/description"/> <map:transform src="resources/stylesheets/antdirectory2document.xsl"/> <map:serialize type="xml"/> </map:match> --Jeff > I guess I need a combination of the Directory Generator and the Aggregation > tools. > > I am not too worried about the order of the files otherwise I would have to > use an XML database - which I would like to avoid if possible. > > PS I have looked in the Langham/Ziegeler book but can't find anything > useful. > > Do I need to write a DirectoryAggregation Generator in Java? perhaps others > would find it useful too. > > Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]>
