+ <s1 title="JX Transformer">
+ <p>
+ (<em>JX</em> for <link
href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jxpath";>Apache <em>JX</em>Path</link>
+ and <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jexl";>Apache
<em>J</em>e<em>x</em>l</link>).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Uses the namespace
<code>http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0</code>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Provides a generic page template with embedded JSTL and XPath
+ expression substitution to access data sent by Cocoon Flowscripts.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The embedded expression language allows a page author to access an
+ object using a simplified syntax such as
+ </p>
+<source>
+ <site signOn="${accountForm.signOn}">
+</source>
+ <p>
+ Embedded JSTL expressions are contained in <code>${}</code>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Embedded XPath expressions are contained in <code>#{}</code>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Note that since this transformer uses
+ <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jxpath";>Apache
JXPath</link>
+ and <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jexl";>Apache
Jexl</link>, the
+ referenced objects may be Java Beans, DOM, JDOM, or JavaScript objects
from
+ a Flowscript. In addition the following implicit objects are available
as
+ both XPath and JSTL variables:
+ </p>
+ <table>
+ <tr>
+ <td><code>request</code>
(<code>org.apache.cocoon.environment.Request</code>)</td>
+ <td>The Cocoon current request</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><code>session</code>
(<code>org.apache.cocoon.environment.Session</code>)</td>
+ <td>The Cocoon session associated with the current request</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><code>context</code>
(<code>org.apache.cocoon.environment.Context</code>)</td>
+ <td>The Cocoon context associated with the current request</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><code>parameters</code>
(<code>org.apache.avalon.framework.parameters.Parameters</code>)</td>
+ <td>A map of parameters passed to the transformer in the
pipeline</td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+ <p>
+ The current Web Continuation from the Flowscript
+ is also available as a variable named <code>continuation</code>. You would
+ typically access its <code>id</code>:
+ </p>
+<source>
+ <form action="${continuation.id}">
+</source>
+
+ <p>You can also reach previous continuations by using the
+ <code>getContinuation()</code> function:</p>
+
+<source>
+ <form action="${continuation.getContinuation(1).id}" >
+</source>
+ <p>The <code>template</code> tag defines a new template:</p>
+<source>
+ <template>
+ body
+ </template>
+</source>
+
+ <p>The <code>import</code> tag allows you to include another template
+ within the current template. The content of the imported template is
+ compiled and will be executed in place of the <code>import</code> tag:</p>
+<source>
+ <import uri="URI" [context="Expression"]/>
+</source>
+ <p>The Cocoon source resolver is used to resolve <code>uri</code>.
+ If <code>context</code> is present, then its value is used as the context
+ for evaluating the imported template, otherwise the current context is
+ used.</p>
+ <p>The <code>set</code> tag creates a local alias of an object. The
+ <code>var</code> attribute specifies the name of a variable to assign the
+ object to. The <code>value</code> attribute specifies the object (defaults
+ to <code>body</code> if not present):</p>
+
+<source>
+ <set var="Name" [value="Value"]>
+ [body]
+ </set>
+</source>
+ <p>If used within a <code>macro</code> definition (see below)
+ variables created by <code>set</code> are only visible within the body of
+ the <code>macro</code>.</p>
+ <p>The <code>if</code> tag allows the conditional execution of its body
+ according to value of a <code>test</code> attribute:</p>
+
+<source>
+ <if test="Expression">
+ body
+ </if>
+</source>
+ <p>The <code>choose</code> tag performs conditional block execution by the
+ embedded <code>when</code> sub tags. It renders the body of the first
+ <code>when</code> tag whose <code>test</code> condition evaluates to true.
+ If none of the <code>test</code> conditions of nested <code>when</code> tags
+ evaluate to <code>true</code>, then the body of an <code>otherwise</code>
+ tag is evaluated, if present:</p>
+<source>
+ <choose>
+ <when test="Expression">
+ body
+ </when>
+ <otherwise>
+ body
+ </otherwise>
+ </choose>
+</source>
+ <p>The <code>out</code> tag evaluates an expression and outputs
+ the result of the evaluation:</p>
+<source>
+ <out value="Expression"/>
+</source>
+ <p>The <code>forEach</code> tag allows you to iterate over a collection
+ of objects:</p>
+<source>
+ <forEach [var="Name"] [items="Expression"]
+ [begin="Number"] [end="Number"] [step="Number"]>
+ body
+ </forEach>
+</source>
+ <p>The <code>items</code> attribute specifies the list of items to iterate
+ over. The <code>var</code> attribute specifies the name of a variable to
+ hold the current item. The <code>begin</code> attribute specifies the
+ element to start with (<code>0</code> = first item,
+ <code>1</code> = second item, ...).
+ If unspecified it defaults to <code>0</code>. The <code>end</code>
+ attribute specifies the item to end with (<code>0</code> = first item,
+ <code>1</code> = second item, ...). If unspecified it defaults to the last
+ item in the list. Every <code>step</code> items are
+ processed (defaults to <code>1</code> if <code>step</code> is absent).
+ Either <code>items</code> or both <code>begin</code> and <code>end</code>
+ must be present.</p>
+
+ <p>
+ The <code>formatNumber</code> tag is used to display numeric data, including
+ currencies and percentages, in a locale-specific manner. The
+ <code>formatNumber</code> action determines from the locale, for example,
+ whether to use a period or a comma for delimiting the integer and decimal
+ portions of a number. Here is its syntax:
+ </p>
+<source>
+ <formatNumber value="Expression"
+ [type="Type"] [pattern="Expression"]
+ [currencyCode="Expression"] [currencySymbol="Expression"]
+ [maxIntegerDigits="Expression"] [minIntegerDigits="Expression"]
+ [maxFractionDigits="Expression"] [minFractionDigits="Expression"]
+ [groupingUsed="Expression"]
+ [var="Name"] [locale="Expression"]>
+</source>
+
+ <p>The <code>formatDate</code> tag provides facilities to format Date
values:</p>
+<source>
+ <formatDate value="Expression" [dateStyle="Style"]
+ [timeStyle="Style"] [pattern="Expression"] [type="Type"] [var="Name"]
+ [locale="Expression"]>
+</source>
+
+ <p>The <code>macro</code> tag allows you define a new custom tag.</p>
+
+<source>
+ <macro name="Name" [targetNamespace="Namespace"]>
+ <parameter name="Name" [optional="Boolean"] [default="Value"]/>
+ body
+ </macro>
+</source>
+
+ <p>For example:</p>
+
+<source>
+ <c:macro name="d">
+ <tr><td></td></tr>
+ </c:macro>
+</source>
+
+ <p>The tag being defined in this example is <code><d></code> and it
+ can be used like any other tag:</p>
+
+<source>
+ <d/>
+</source>
+
+ <p>However, when this tag is used it will be replaced with a row containing
+ a single empty data cell.</p>
+ <p> When such a tag is used, the attributes and content of the tag become
+ available as variables in the body of the <code>macro</code>'s definition,
+ for example:</p>
+
+<source>
+ <c:macro name="tablerows">
+ <c:parameter name="list"/>
+ <c:parameter name="color"/>
+ <c:forEach var="item" items="${list}">
+ <tr><td bgcolor="${color}">${item}</td></tr>
+ </c:forEach>
+ </c:macro>
+</source>
+
+ <p>The <code>parameter</code> tags in the macro definition define formal
+ parameters, which are replaced with the actual attribute values of the
+ tag when it is used. The content of the tag is also available as a special
+ variable <code>${content}</code>.</p>
+ <p>Assuming you had this code in your
+ flowscript:</p>
+ <source>var greatlakes = ["Superior", "Michigan", "Huron", "Erie",
"Ontario"];</source>
+ <p><code> sendPage(uri, {greatlakes: greatlakes});</code>
+ </p>
+ <p>and a template like this:</p>
+
+<source>
+ <tablerows list="${greatlakes}" color="blue"/>
+ </table>
+</source>
+
+ <p>When the <code>tablerows</code> tag is used in this situation the
+ following output would be generated:
+ </p>
+<source>
+ <table>
+ <tr><td bgcolor="blue">Superior</td></tr>
+ <tr><td bgcolor="blue">Michigan</td></tr>
+ <tr><td bgcolor="blue">Huron</td></tr>
+ <tr><td bgcolor="blue">Erie</td></tr>
+ <tr><td bgcolor="blue">Ontario</td></tr>
+ </table>
+</source>
+ </s1>
+ </body>
+</document>
