I am not sure what exactly the problem is, but I guess you might be actually looking for a file reader instead of generator.
I have not really used Cocoon for printing.

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 > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Ivelin Ivanov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Sonntag, 1.
