Hy, I need to transform one source into two different views and finally collect these views into one single output page.
I do this with an aggregation, that implicitly calls the same source twice and feeds the result into different transformers: <map:match pattern="search/canvas"> <map:aggregate element="canvas"> <map:part element = "coll" src="cocoon:/search/coll"/> <map:part element = "mask" src="cocoon:/search/mask"/> </map:aggregate> <map:transform src = "canvas.xsl"/> <map:serialize type = "html"/> </map:match> <map:match pattern="/search/coll"> <map:generate src="http://myserver/collection.xml"/> <map:transform src="collection.xsl"/> <map:serialize type = "xml"/> </map:match> <map:match pattern="/search/mask"> <map:generate src="http://myserver/collection.xml"/> <map:transform src="mask.xsl"/> <map:serialize type = "xml"/> </map:match> The goal is to call the http: request only once, not twice as is done with the sitemap above. One possible solution would be to create one single XSL-transform by merging the rules of canvas.xsl and collection.xsl into one merge.xsl and add a template that actually controls the merge. That would result in calling the http only once, but i do not want to solve it like this, because the only place, where i want to define the merge shall be the sitemap i.e. within the first match rule above. Now the question raises, how i can gather an xml-fragment, put it into some temporary place (ideally in memory) and refer to this fragement from another part of the pipeline. On top of this the xml-fragment should be kept local to the request (each request retrieves the fragment and puts it into a request-bound place and after the request terminates throw away the fragment) any ideas, how this could be achieved ? regards, hussayn -- Dr. Hussayn Dabbous SAXESS Software Design GmbH Neuenhöfer Allee 125 50935 Köln Telefon: +49-221-56011-0 Fax: +49-221-56011-20 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]>
