Cocoon and cokies
Hi all we have introduced a new Intranet portal framework in our organization (very successful for around 3000+ users). This portal framework is based on two components. Cocoon2 and Livelink (a CMS from Opentext). We use Livelink as the data entry tool for users. Livelink is already well known in the organization so we reuse this tool. As Livelink offers a function to export metadata to XML we use this and publish the relevant data to the Cocoon2 environment. This is a real publishing process, content managers maintain data and at one point in time they publish. So we publish the data on demand and present on the portal whatever we do with the data using XSLT (and other features from Cocoon). The export of the data can be triggered by using http request from any browser. Something like: http://livelink/id=12345objaction=xmlexportscope=subattributeinfo. This generates a XML file (if already logged in). If I am not logged into Livelink, I get a prompt and can provide my username/password. Livelink uses cockie to handle the session and priviliges. I can also provide username/password in the URI http://livelink/func=ll.loginusername=XXXpassword=YYY. This works from a browser. Livelink is recognizing the request does a login, sets the cockie at the client browser by sending a page using the meta tag redirect. As we have such a great success in using this framework (Thanks to all of you who have participated in building Cocoon2!!!) we now want to go a step further and generate the XML file on request by the portal user. So the sitemap shall have an entry like map:aggregate element=live map:part src=http://livelink/livelink.exe?func=ll.loginamp;username=xxxamp;password=yyy/ map:part src=http://livelink/livelink.exe?func=llamp;objAction=XMLExportamp;objId=6152797amp;attributeinfoamp;scope=one/ /map:aggregate This is working when sending these two http requests from an browser, with the first request setting the cockie, so the second request gets 'through'. I have no idea on how we would do this in using Cocoon2. Any idea? How can Cocoon handle cockies? Does anyone know?

Thomas,
I know this will sound rather naive but... did you look into the cookie
logicsheet ?

Subject: Cocoon and cokies
Hi all
we have introduced a new Intranet portal framework in our
organization (very successful for around 3000+ users). This
portal framework is based on two components. Cocoon2 and Livelink
(a CMS from Opentext). We use Livelink as the data entry tool for
users. Livelink is already well known in the organization so we
reuse this tool. As Livelink offers a function to export metadata
to XML we use this and publish the relevant data to the Cocoon2
environment. This is a real publishing process, content managers
maintain data and at one point in time they publish. So we
publish the data on demand and present on the portal whatever we
do with the data using XSLT (and other features from Cocoon).
The export of the data can be triggered by using http request
from any browser. Something like:
http://livelink/id=12345objaction=xmlexportscope=subattributein
fo. This generates a XML file (if already logged in). If I am not
logged into Livelink, I get a prompt and can provide my
username/password. Livelink uses cockie to handle the session and
priviliges.
I can also provide username/password in the URI
http://livelink/func=ll.loginusername=XXXpassword=YYY. This
works from a browser. Livelink is recognizing the request does a
login, sets the cockie at the client browser by sending a page
using the meta tag redirect.
As we have such a great success in using this framework (Thanks
to all of you who have participated in building Cocoon2!!!) we
now want to go a step further and generate the XML file on
request by the portal user.
So the sitemap shall have an entry like
map:aggregate element=live
map:part
src=http://livelink/livelink.exe?func=ll.loginamp;username=xxxa
mp;password=yyy/
map:part
src=http://livelink/livelink.exe?func=llamp;objAction=XMLExport;
amp;objId=6152797amp;attributeinfoamp;scope=one/
/map:aggregate
This is working when sending these two http requests from an
browser, with the first request setting the cockie, so the second
request gets 'through'.
I have no idea on how we would do this in using Cocoon2. Any
idea? How can Cocoon handle cockies? Does anyone know?
Thanks for any help

RE: XSP + Dynamic XML generator ??
Can you use 2 transforms instead ie: genXML -- XSLT -- XSLT -- Serialize ? or does the XSP draw from another data - source .. just kind of soundslike you want to re arrange your data then transform ?? could be wrong too :) -Original Message- From: Zack Angelo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, 5 May 2002 8:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: XSP + Dynamic XML generator ?? Chris, Generally speaking, you don't use XSP to transform XML that has already been generated, you use it generate XML in the first place. So it seems that you'd want to follow the typical pipeline layout, generate your XML with XSP based on parameters gathered from your datasource (perhaps via esql or some embedded java code). Then apply a stylesheet to that and serialize it. So, XSP-XSLT-Serialize.

Try this Re: Can't connect to MySQL with Cocoon 2
Daniel, Maybe I don't understand using databases with Cocoon after all. Are you using the database for logging? If not why did you define it in the jdbc block in the xconf file that way (as a logger)? Here is what I did to get it working (and I got these steps from the userdocs) 1) I put the mysql.jar file (which contains the mysql jdbc driver) in the tomcat4.01/lib directory. I vaguely remember having trouble when it was in the cocoon/WEB-INF/lib ... and once it started working I did not complain or spend additional time researching why it failed down in the lower directory. 2) I created a jdbc block in the cocoon.xconf file as follows ... jdbc name=mysql_pool pool-controller min=5 max=10/ dburljdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb/dburl userroot/user password/password /jdbc where ... mydb is the (very creative) name I chose for the database. 3) In the webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF directory ... I put the following in the web.xml file ... init-param param-nameload-class/param-name param-value !-- For MySQL on localhost-- org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver !-- For JDBC-ODBC Bridge: -- sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver !-- For parent ComponentManager sample: org.apache.cocoon.samples.parentcm.Configurator -- /param-value /init-param 4) Finally I use the mysql_pool, as follows In the sitemap ... within the map:pipelinethe transformer looks like this map:transform type=sql map:parameter name=use-connection value=mysql_pool/ 5) In the content source file for the map:generator component I have this code ... (note there is more than just this code in the file. In the interest of space I am just showing the sql stuff) execute-query xmlns=http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0; query select * from emp where name='Conrad' /query /execute-query (of course there was a table named emp in mydb ... and it was set up correctly and I made sure there was data in that table -- I verified everything from the mysql console) ... then I fired up Cocoon (and prayed for a miracle!!). The C2 gods must have been pleased with me that day ... because ... it worked!!! I, however, did not have a bottle of champagne when I saw the data in my browser ... but it worked!! and I was not going to complain about format etc etc. That is the topic for another bottle of champagne :) Hope that helps Conrad [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I have a problem connecting to a MySQL database with Cocoon.

Re: Can't connect to MySQL with Cocoon 2
Hello Zack, Apparently a lot of people have been having trouble getting mySQL+C2 to work with the 1.4 JDK. I'd try 1.3 and see if that helps any. HTH. Thanks; that solves it. With IBM's JDK 1.3 my setup worked right away. The reason I used JDK 1.4 is because I don't run X. According to the FAQ, only JDK 1.4 can run in 'headless' mode, and indeed with JDK 1.3 Cocoon doesn't start unless I also run X. So my problem is solved for now, but I'm hoping for a better long-term solution (i.e., no X, and still MySQL access). Thanks everyone!

Re: Installing cocoon
Have you all read the installation instructions? Getting it to work in 4.0.3 is a pain. Either be happy with 4.0.1 or go to 4.0.4b2 both of which are easy. I'd consider tomcat 4.0.2/3 duds overall anyhow. I've not had time to really look into what exactly is wrong with them, but things tend not to work in them that work elsewhere. Be advised that jdk 1.4 breaks database code. You'll have to create special compiles of avalon components to get that puppy to fly.

You can install *headless X* (Xvfb) which is BTW faster than X. Or you can just *not* install Batik (delete the batik jar and compile cocoon).

Cocoon 2, Batik, URL encoding, bug? (long-ish, sorry)
Hello,
I have a problem with non-English letters in URLs. I suspect it's a
bug, but I'm not sure where exactly the problem is. So I think it's
best to give a description of what I'm doing:
I want to automatically create text buttons with Batik: First, I
create the graphics in StarOffice and save it as .svg file. The Cocoon
pipeline then reads this, a simple XSLT script exchanges the text in
the .svg file with part of the URL, and then Batik renders it as JPEG.
The corresponding pipeline definition looks like this:
map:pipeline
map:match pattern=xxx/auto-img/*/*.jpg
map:generate src=xxx/auto-img/{1}.svg/
map:transform src=xxx/auto-img/auto-img.xsl type=xslt
map:parameter name=text value={2}/
/map:transform
map:serialize type=svg2jpeg/
/map:match
The auto-img.xsl is a dead simple script consisting of the well-known
XSLT copy rule, and one other rules which exchanges the text REPLACE
with {$text}.
Result: The url xxx/auto-img/button/Hello%20World.jpg delivers a fancy
graphical button based on button.svg, saying Hello World.
I use this from another style sheet which reads elements
menu href=target.htmldescription/menu
and translates them into:
a href=target.html
img src=xxx/auto-img/button/description.jpg/
/a
Result: Nice looking graphical menus with very little effort.
All of this actually works, and took me only 1.5 hours. :-)))
But the problem is... it doesn't work with non-ASCII letters. E.g. if
my text contains German Umlauts (vowels a,o,u with two dots on them),
the resulting button displays two arbitrary characters.
I suspect what goes bad is the URL encoding (i.e. encoding 'special'
characters as %xx escape sequences). I think at some point the string
gets converted into URLs using UTF-8, but elsewhere gets decoded in
some 8-bit character set. Thus, I get two garbage characters where I
expected my Umlaut.
My questions are:
- How does Cocoon encode URLs? As UTF-8, with %xx escapes?
- I would think this to be a common problem. Are there
URL-encoding/decoding methods available in XSLT that I could use to
manually solve the problem?
(I checked the XSLT standard, and it doesn't have this. I also checked
the library of extension functions on the Xalan page.)
- How can I find out where the encoding (or decoding) actually goes
wrong? So far, I can only see the outcome, but I don't know how to do
debugging on this.
Thanks for all answers...
Sincerely,
Daniel
P.S.: I noticed that in my setup Batik has terrible kerning problems:
All characters are of equals width! 'i' and 'l' leave huge gaps, and
'm' overlaps with following letters. Is this a known problem of Batik,
or is maybe something wrong with my environment? (e.g. fonts?)

Re: Can't connect to MySQL with Cocoon 2
Hello, You can install *headless X* (Xvfb) which is BTW faster than X. Yes, I had already discovered this in the FAQ, but had hoped to get away without. I'll first try the configuration that Conrad F. D'Cruz sent (btw, thanks Conrad!), to make sure I can't fix it in my configuration. If that doesn't work, I will install Xvfb.

A SOAP Transformer?
Dear Cocoon Users: Does it make sense that a SOAP Transformer could be added to the Cocoon arsenal? An incoming XML doc would contain the URL of the web service to be accessed, perhaps also necessary authentication information, and the SOAP body. The SOAP Transformer would simply send the message, and insert the response into the document stream. Does this make sense as a useful component? Or are there some hidden issues that would introduce complexity? Steve Punte [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Caching, Xindice, Aggregate
Now that I've solved my DocBook rendering problem, I'm getting a new problem. Approximately every other request fails with a null pointer exception. Attached below is the full stack trace. I noticed, combing through it that it was either trying to setup or use caching, but my setup is using the Xindice access (which from the documentation, I believed could not be cached.) So is it possible that cocoon is trying to cache or use a cache, but can't? Is there a way to force caching off (so that I can test my hypothesis?)

RE: Cocoon and cokies
From: Luca Morandini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Thomas,
I know this will sound rather naive but... did you look into the
cookie
logicsheet ?
Unfortunately, this won't help him. He wants to act Cocoon as a client
to Livelink and manage cookies sent by Livelink on Cocoon side (like
usual browser does).
I would say that this requires patching of URLSource which is
responsible for handling external HTTP sources, and adding cookie
management capabilities to in.

Subject: Cocoon and cokies
Hi all
we have introduced a new Intranet portal framework in our
organization (very successful for around 3000+ users). This
portal framework is based on two components. Cocoon2 and Livelink
(a CMS from Opentext). We use Livelink as the data entry tool for
users. Livelink is already well known in the organization so we
reuse this tool. As Livelink offers a function to export metadata
to XML we use this and publish the relevant data to the Cocoon2
environment. This is a real publishing process, content managers
maintain data and at one point in time they publish. So we
publish the data on demand and present on the portal whatever we
do with the data using XSLT (and other features from Cocoon).
The export of the data can be triggered by using http request
from any browser. Something like:
http://livelink/id=12345objaction=xmlexportscope=subattributein
fo. This generates a XML file (if already logged in). If I am not
logged into Livelink, I get a prompt and can provide my
username/password. Livelink uses cockie to handle the session and
priviliges.
I can also provide username/password in the URI
http://livelink/func=ll.loginusername=XXXpassword=YYY. This
works from a browser. Livelink is recognizing the request does a
login, sets the cockie at the client browser by sending a page
using the meta tag redirect.
As we have such a great success in using this framework (Thanks
to all of you who have participated in building Cocoon2!!!) we
now want to go a step further and generate the XML file on
request by the portal user.
So the sitemap shall have an entry like
map:aggregate element=live
map:part
src=http://livelink/livelink.exe?func=ll.loginamp;username=xxxa
mp;password=yyy/
map:part
src=http://livelink/livelink.exe?func=llamp;objAction=XMLExport;
amp;objId=6152797amp;attributeinfoamp;scope=one/
/map:aggregate
This is working when sending these two http requests from an
browser, with the first request setting the cockie, so the second
request gets 'through'.
I have no idea on how we would do this in using Cocoon2. Any
idea? How can Cocoon handle cockies? Does anyone know?
Thanks for any help
Thomas Ruth
