Hi Geoff. Thanks for helping me. If you don't mind, I want to ask you some more questions, cause I still don't really understand what I have to do.
1. I didin't find any example of xsp using Rhino. Can you give me an example, or a URL to the page with example? I am sorry, but I tried hard to find examples, and I just didn't succeed. In Cocoon documentation it is mentioned that Rhino can be used as an XSP scripting language, but they don't give any example. 2. Can I use JSGenerator instead of ServerPagesGenerator on the pipeline? All these things confuse me alot, and I'll be very happy if you gave me some more clues. Thank you very very much and sorry for attacking you with so many questions.

This may spell bad news: see inline comments. If you are comfortable in java as well as javascript (at least reasonably so) you may want to look into using a java based javascript interpreter - looking into the cocoon javascript generator (org.apache.cocoon.components.language.markup.xsp.JSGenerator) and other JS related sources around there in the source tree it looks like cocoon is using Rhino (http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/). Then, you can write your xsp in java (which has far more features and users) but still execute arbitrary javascript code when you find it. That said, I think you're on a potentially very confusing path because of all the places javascript can be in an html page, and all the DOM objects it's likely to reference. Still, this may work and I'd be very interested to hear how it goes and help as I can - but I've never touched Rhino and can't right now.

Right, sorry about that. I had seen in another email that you were using <util:include-expr> so I left that part out for simplicity but forgot to comment as such. > > Trying to enclose the <xsp:expr> tag inside the > <util:include-expr> tag: > > <util:include-expr><util:expr><xsp:expr>document.text</xsp:expr></util:expr> > </util:include-expr> > the surprising output is: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> > <page xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp"; > xmlns:xsp-request="http://apache.org/xsp/request/2.0"; > xmlns:util="http://apache.org/xsp/util/2.0";> > <p> > <util:include-expr> > <util:expr><center>Hello</center></util:expr> > </util:include-expr> > </p> > </page> > This is strange.

Not surprising - just checked and javascript xsp's have only request, response and session logicsheets. I don't know if it's possible to recreate the include expression functionality in javascript - you may want to send a very specific question on that to this list, making clear that you know it doesn't yet exist. > > > 2.

I don't know if you can - you can't from a browser, but that may be only because of the security limitations imposed. > And parse it?
