thanks Ivelin,

but now I'm right in front of a new problem, how to print out the document
using 
cocoon? I couldn't find a generator that gets the input right from a stream?
Do I have to write my own generator? If yes, can you point me to some
documentation
about this, because I couldn't found it.

thanks Lars
