Hi, I'm trying to get Cocoon working with IMS Content Packages[IMS-CP], to help my development process, and could do with some help.
Short version: Can Cocoon accept an XML file listing several other files, and make an aggregate from the files listed? If so, how? Long version: A bit of background for anyone who needs it: IMS is a group developing specifications for educational materials - content, metadata, questions & answers, etc. Their Content Packaging is a standard that describes how to wrap up a load of content and metadata with a manifest file which describes the structure and navigation to use with the content (roughly speaking). >From the little I know of Java, I think IMSCP is quite like a .jar file - a bunch of files with a manifest saying what's what, all rolled up in a zip. Anyway, what I want to do is use Cocoon during development for live transformations of our XML source files to HTML, prior to converting them all to static HTML ready to be zipped up. Transforming the individual content files is fairly straightforward, but creating the navigation isn't - as the structure is defined in the IMS manifest, but titles and descriptions are in metadata files pointed to by the manifest. I would like to load the manifest, XSLTransform it into a list of files, then aggregate those files, and send that on down the pipeline for more transfromations. Can this be done? There are a few options involving XSLT document(), but they usually end up hiding when files are updated, which would defeat the pupose of using Cocoon in the first place. Any thoughts on the problem would be appreiciated, Dave.
