For completeness, here is a question I had meant to send to the whole list and Alex's response.

This pipeline must have an output named "data". Say you pipeline is stored in xforms.xpl. Then modify your controller.xml to point to this pipeline (xforms="xforms.xpl"). In the pipeline, you can do anything you want. You can connect to a database, read other resources, etc. BTW, please send your question to the oxf-users mailing list in the future, so other users can benefit from your experience. Thank you.
