Most probably your client is Internet Explorer?

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-user&m=102836194606677&w=2 
contains references to info about this IE bug, which causes it to make two or 
sometimes even more HTTP requests for non-HTML content.

Maybe you want to add this to the Cocoon Wiki at

[SUMMARY] How can I log in non-Cocoon Java classes?

[Alan Hodgkinson]

More material for the (soon to be written) Cocoon hackers guide. :)


Logging in non-Cocoon Java Classes
--

This explaines how to implement Cocoon-style logging, in a 
Java class that is not inherited from a Cocoon or Avalon 
component class. The class is however used within a Cocoon 
application. 

A typical use for this might be in a Java Bean used in a 
Cocoon application.

1. The class must extend AbstractLogEnabled.

2. You must enable logging in the class by calling the
   enableLogging() method on the class. This requires that you 
   have a Logger object to provide to enableLogging(). Generally 
   you can get the Logger from a Cocoon component class. In my 
   case I call enableLogging from a Cocoon action class, which 
   extends AbstractXMLFormAction.

The resulting code is as follows:

1. In the non-component class that needs to implement logging: 
   You simply call the appropriate log method using the Logger
   provided by the getLogger() method, which is available from 
   the parent class AbstractLogEnabled.

import org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.AbstractLogEnabled;

public class SomeClass extends AbstractLogEnabled {
 
  public void someMethod() {
...
getLogger().debug( "Hello, log. It worked!" ); 
getLogger().info(  "Hello, log. Here is info" ); 
getLogger().error( "Hello, log. Here is an error" ); 
//..etc.
...
  }
}

2. In an Avalon component class, or a class that inherits from one:
   Call enableLogging(). Note that most of the Cocoon classes extend 
   Avalon Component classes.

  ...
  SomeClass myClass = new SomeClass();
  myClass.enableLogging( getLogger() );
  myClass.someMethod(); // Writes some log messages
  ...

Note that you must call enableLogging() before you call any methods 
that write log messages. It is not necessarily obvious when to call 
enableLogging() as the creation and initialization of many of your 
classes will be handled automatically by Avalon, one of the Cocoon
sub-systems.

To be absolutely sure that you are writing solid code, you'll need a
basic understanding of the Avalon component life-cycle. This is a big 
subject and beyond the scope of this short paper. You can read more 
at:

Avalon logkit, which is used by Cocoon:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/logkit/whitepaper.html

Avalon component lifecycle:

 
http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/framework/reference-the-lifecycle.html

If you're still curious, here is a link to an excellent white paper 
explaining development using avalon:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/developing/index.html

..and that's all there is to it. 

Many thanks to Marcus Crafter and Judith Andres for their help.

Best wishes,

Alan.

Hi fxp,

In eXist source dist. you have a logicsheet based on XML-DB API to talk to 
XML-DB compliant databases. So you can use this logicsheet to connect to 
Xindice.

I got phpsrvlt.jar from php.net and built webapp using the build instruction. Still, while building it says "Classes of optional package PHP are not available. Cocoon builds without them."

The hello.service is actually a REST style web service, and not a
SOAP style web service.

For SOAP services (ie. responses encapsulated within a soap
envelope), have a look at the AxisRPCReader that's committed in
scratchpad. It allows you to serve SOAP requests from your cocoon
application.

Hope that helps. :)

to answer my own question I looked at esql.xsl(lines 777-787) and now I

that it is *not* possible.

I now use the i18n transformer to do the job:




ok, this works, but this is probably not  the fastest way if you have a

Wouldn't it be better to have a possibility to define a global

my opinion on global-parameters

I really wonder why they're so buggy to use... I have to have

path-logically accessible as the ordinary parameters, at least I have
troubles with them.

Just my two hot cents :-(

I will have a look at the other solution (definition in web.xml of global

RE: Is it a good idea to avoid the use of xsp ?

[Leigh Dodds]

If you strictly 
enforce that your XSP pages don't contain Java code, and 
only use custom 
tags (Logicsheets) then you don't necessarily have a 
problem.
 
Your efforts here 
should focus on creating a useful set of Logicsheets, but 
ones that have a 
declarative approach, rather than ending up with a series 
of procedural 
statements. 
 
The alternative 
approach is to rely more heavily on your pipeline components 

(Actions and 
Transformers). You're unlikely to use XSP pages here, but may 

have them in 
limited form, e.g. to parameterise your XML generation to add 

information from 
the request/session/etc. Often here the XML you're feeding 
into the pipeline 
provides cues to the downstream components. See the 
SQLTransformer for 
example.
 
I think the best 
advice I would give at the moment is to choose ONE of these 

approaches rather 
than a mix-and-match situation. If you do then your application 

is partly 
specified in the sitemap (pipeline structures) and partly in XSP pages 

(XML + 
Logicsheets) which isn't nice for maintainance: everything isn't in a single 

place.
 
The interesting 
aspect to all this is that if you look a bit closer they're actually 

equivalent:
 
When an XSP page 
is transformed into Java code, Cocoon determines the 
correct logic 
sheet transform to apply for each of your tags. This is repeated 

until all thats 
left are XSP elements. At that point the final transformation is 

carried out to 
generate Java code. This is then compiled and execute. So 
you have a process 
which: determines the code required for this task, 
then executes 
it.
 
When a Pipeline is 
triggered in the pipeline, Cocoon builds up the Pipeline 
components 
(perhaps affected by various Actions along the way). Once the 

pipeline is built 
its then executed.
 
So a useful 
question to ask is: which approach give you the most 
flexibility?
 
The advantages of 
putting things in the sitemap is that you're beginning to 
approach the "Holy 
Grail" of computing: component based development. Throw 
together a few 
pipeline components and you've got an application. 
Fantastic.
 
But, personally 
(and this is probably Cocoon heresy!), I think that once you start introducing 

fairly specific 
Actions and Transformers -- i.e. ones that have limited reuse, or may 

be used only in 
one 
pipeline -- you're possibly going down the wrong path: there's little 

value in having 
these as components other than Java code, particularly because 

the sitemap gets 
so complicated that its difficult to see whats going on.
 
So far I've tended 
to use the sitemap for only doing the association between 
requests/processing/response rather than defining the processing 
steps.
 
I'd be interested 
in what others think.
 
L.

  Hi!
  First, thanks for your very quick replies to my last question!
  After quite some time discussing and evaluating we made a decision in favor 
  of cocoon as presentation framework. One major argument for cocoon and against 
  struts was that in jsp a strict seperation of logic (Java code) and 
  presentation is not always encouraged. There was also fear that the same 
  issues might apply to xsp and therefore the decision was made to use cocoon 
  but to avoid the use of xsp.
  I'm very new to cocoon and by now only have a very vague idea about xsp and 
  issues that might arise using xsp. So what do you think ? Is it a bad idea to 
  use cocoon but not use xsp ? Is it generally possible to compare jsp and xsp 
  in that way? Or are these fears inappropiate?
  thanks,

Great, thanks Vadim.

When you say "component manager", do you mean excalibur? Or what...?

It is inside cocoon.jar file. You put newer util logicsheet in:

...cocoon/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/.../java/util.xsl

It will override the one in cocoon.jar.

See AbstractMarkupLanguage.java, generateCode() method. It instantiates 
XMLReader there. If it is possible, it should better use parser from 
component manager, and then your issue will be solved.

You will have to convert your Java String into SAX XML events. This is 
done by parsing this text by XML parser.

Util logicsheet has a tag (IIRC, include-expr) which does exactly like 
this. Search archives for details, it was explained miriad of times.

Re: Need help with XMLForm and Mod-db (Please disregard my earlierposts)

[Bobby Mitchell]

My solution is to change the code in DatabaseAction.java to remove the 
table_name. from the variable names. I made this change to test it and 
it works. I suppose I need to change the code in such a way to allow a 
user to supply a configuration directive such as 
false. Is there any reason I 
should not do this or is there a better way?

I'm cross-posting this to the dev list.

1. Modify CocoonServlet to suit your needs, i.e. set

ALLOW_OVERWRITE = true;


2. File a bug into BugZilla that this parameter is fixed. Hopefully, 
somebody will get onto this issue sometime.

form validation

[Barbara Post]

I just wonder whether I can do the following in my xsl :

The field validation can trigger 2 types of errors :
1. the field is null -> show message 1
2. the field is not null but has wrong regex syntx -> show message 2.

I just have troubles to find the documentation again... For now I have 2
error tags but both messages appear despite
is-null or no-match...

Re: Is it a good idea to avoid the use of xsp ?

[Lajos Moczar]

Hi Gernot -

Whether one method is a better or worse idea than another is largely 
dependent on how you implement it. Yes, XSPs do somewhat violate 
Separation of Concerns. And yes, you can compare XSPs to JSPs in terms 
of pitfalls.

The fact is, that there are some things you can only do with XSPs. My 
own personal preference is to first look at alternatives to XSPs (like 
using SQLTransformer instead of XSP + ESQL logicsheet). Then, if I do 
use an XSP, I try to use logicsheets wherever possible. If I have 
 blocks, I keep them TO A MINIMUM. If have more than say 2 
such blocks, I typically make my own logicsheet. The extra time it takes 
to do this is well worth the savings in administration later on.

Bottom line: there is no right or wrong way in Cocoon. Pick you 
approach, especially if you are comfortable with it. Just develop your 
own best practices to help you code cleanly and in a way that can easily 
be maintained later on.

Regards,

Lajos

In general, it doesn't matter what thechnology you use. XSP does not
provide separation of logic and presentation, the use of XML does this.
If you use JSP to generate XML and generate HTML from that XML you will
have the same degree of separation as with XSP.
The main advantage between JSP and XSP is that XSP encourages the
generation of valid XML.

Re: Is it a good idea to avoid the use of xsp ?

[Barbara Post]

AFAICS XSP is a bit similar to JSP in a way, 
so you will rather use Actions etc. They were introduced in C 2.0 to replace 
XSPs, when one wants ;-)
 
I personnally don't use and don't need XSP, but 
then I use a lot of transformers...

  Hi!
  First, thanks for your very quick replies to my last question!
  After quite some time discussing and evaluating we made a decision in favor 
  of cocoon as presentation framework. One major argument for cocoon and against 
  struts was that in jsp a strict seperation of logic (Java code) and 
  presentation is not always encouraged. There was also fear that the same 
  issues might apply to xsp and therefore the decision was made to use cocoon 
  but to avoid the use of xsp.
  I'm very new to cocoon and by now only have a very vague idea about xsp and 
  issues that might arise using xsp. So what do you think ? Is it a bad idea to 
  use cocoon but not use xsp ? Is it generally possible to compare jsp and xsp 
  in that way? Or are these fears inappropiate?
  thanks,

Here is a sample login page and post page:



http://apache.org/xsp";>
  

  Sometext:
  
  

  





http://apache.org/xsp";
  xmlns:xsp-request="http://apache.org/xsp/request/2.0";>
  
Sometext = 
Submit =

Is it a good idea to avoid the use of xsp ?

[Gernot Koller]

Hi!
First, thanks for your very quick replies to my last question!
After quite some time discussing and evaluating we made a decision in favor of cocoon as presentation framework. One major argument for cocoon and against struts was that in jsp a strict seperation of logic (Java code) and presentation is not always encouraged. There was also fear that the same issues might apply to xsp and therefore the decision was made to use cocoon but to avoid the use of xsp.
I'm very new to cocoon and by now only have a very vague idea about xsp and issues that might arise using xsp. So what do you think ? Is it a bad idea to use cocoon but not use xsp ? Is it generally possible to compare jsp and xsp in that way? Or are these fears inappropiate?
thanks,
Gernot

Couple of ways:
1:
 

 
 

 

2:
cocoon-action=Update or cocoon-action=Delete

I think XSP requires that the contents of xsp:page be single-rooted with 
a root element that is not in the xsp namespace (apart from xsp:logic 
and xsp:structure elements). This is because the output of the XSP 
generator must be a well-formed XML document that has the  element 
as its root.

How to use Request-parameter Selector with the submit button

[Antonio Gallardo Rivera]

Hi all!

I tried to resolve a problem about nested  in C2.1. To try to 
work with a database actions and formvalidator.

Given 2 submit buttons in a form: one for update and the second for delete:

The name of the parameters will be:

cocoon-action-Update
cocoon-action-Delete

How I can know in the sitemap what button was pressed?

The "best" way (easier) is to use :

 at the beginning of your xsl, then use it

Request paramteres in a xsl

[Johannes Wechsler]

Hi,

I want to access a request parameter in a xsl.

Therefore I use the code:


My request string is:
http://localhost:8080/cocoon/dev/ownActionItems.htm?pName=Projekt2&xpath=//p
rojects/project[2]/actionItem

Is this fundamentally the right way to access a request parameter?
Do I have to add anything into the sitemap to get access to these
parameters?

My sitemap entry is the following:

Re: [2.1 bug ?] duplication of input fields/parameters

[Barbara Post]

Hi Antonio, this bug says that nested actions don't execute... In my case
the (nested) action that sends email buggy executes... ok it's known now.
Will add a short note to the bug report.

So let's hope someone has a clue soon... I absolutely cannot switch to 2.0.3
again because of several transformers I realized whe developping I had to
use (ok I can add some of them to the jar, but I guess
SourceWritingTransformer needs C 2.1, when one sees what it imports... no
?).

Thanks for both relieving and worrying me...

Hi Barabara:

The bug in C2.1 lastest CVS is the nested actions!

I have the same problem, I cannot use the tutorial (about database
form-validation). This is a really hard problem.

I send you some responses about the same problem:

Gerhard wrote:

Check: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9835

Please, confirm this bug, I hope someone will investigate this issue.
This bug is the reason I can't switch to 2.1 (and still use 2.0.3).

Also, Chris Haul wrote:

"Since this is not advocated officially, I respond off-list. 2.1 resources
have a feature / bug, so they will *return* to the calling statement
if no serializer is found.

With this you can use resources very similar to action-sets, although
you need to code the selector yourself.

Opinions differ whether this is a feature that will stay or a bug that
will be squashed, Since This discussion was end of spring, I hope it
will stay :-)

If it doesn't you'll have an easy migration back to working action-sets
by changing a few tag names and removing the selector."

But, I dont can find documentation about how to use  :(

Sorry Barbara, I don't really get it and have too much in my poor brain 
right now. Um, you can make the content of the function conditional in 
your XSLT; meaning, just produce an empty function or the field name you 
desire. The body just calls the function but what the function does is 
another story.

If you want to make the javascript *independent of the body tag*, just 
attach the function to the event in your javascript code instead:


// this will trigger init when the document is loaded.
window.onload = init;

function init()
{
   document.getElementById('my_text').focus();
}


hth,

Manos

Re: issues with javascript

Hi Manos and the others who replied :-)

The javascript code should be written only if I have an "error" tag for a
specific text input field.

This error tag is produced by form validation. Then there is the classical
code :



 
  _
 is-null
 
  [explicit error message]
 
 [and here I'd like to put my javascript but it fails executing]


you see that the name of the input field is determined "at xslt runtime"...
and that the whole code above is in a template matching a certain tag, which
../@Id and @Name attributes are used... So I cannot use "onLoad" method...
Any other ideas ?

Thanks a lot,

Barbara

[2.1 bug ?] duplication of input fields/parameters

[Barbara Post]

I upgraded to latest CVS yesterday, jdk 1.3.1, (East Coast noon) but this
did not solve the issue, do I have to submit to bugzilla ? :

Log doesn't really help since there are nested actions...

- I have a form validation  with simple form transformer. When the form is
correctly filled an emal is sent. I wrote a custom action to send this
email. Sitemap parameters passed to the action are filled from http request.

- Assuming form validation occurs once and succeds, scenario :
I fill the "to" field, hit "send" and the email is sent along with files
(the path of files is of hidden input fields).
I click "back" on the browser (IE5.5), so that I see the form again.
When I hit "send", duplicate files are attached. the "to" field is
duplicated too. (the form was cached by the browser).

- After sending email, I write the url to the sending email form in the
browser's address bar, same issue. EVEN WITH ANOTHER "serialNumber" request
parameter, so that Cocoon regenerates a full html page.

Sometimes I see duplicated fields in the html form, other times : when
forcing reload with Control + F5, the code is ok but the parameters are sent
duplicated.

Pipeline below. I need the simple form transformer though.

The xsl which generates the html form ("sendlickeyform.xsl") has a main
template, in which I define the empty input fields, or the http request
filled ones. So it is rather simple... I attach it anyway.

Maybe I am completely wrong ?

Hi Massimo.

I've not used any visual XSLT design tools, though I've heard of them.

But I have used an approach in Cocoon where your layout is done in html
(using any html editor - we used DreamWeaver). In the template HTML, you add
a few extra attributes to refer to the data (the content of the page), e.g.
. You can also use
attribute-value-templates in your html, and variable-substitution in the
text of the html, like this:



{topic-name}{topic-value}



You can use the HTMLGenerator to convert the HTML layout to XHTML, transform
it into valid XSLT, and you have a XSLT stylesheet without too much XSLT,
written in a generic HTML editor, with a few extra "custom" attributes etc
(not usually a problem).

Cheers!

Re: issues with javascript

[Emmanuil Batsis (Manos)]

Hi Barbara,

Nothing to do with cocoon, but you are right; the document is not fully 
loaded and that's the problem. Try wrapping your code in a function and 
call it via the onload attribute of the body tag.
BTW, you should be using DOM nowdays:


function init()
{
   document.getElementById('my_text').focus();
}

Re: Sitemap Question

[Barbara Post]

Hem, I guess you can write an Action that uses request parameters, formats
them the way you want, and puts new parameters in the sitemap, with the name
of your request parameters but new values... then write what "next page"
wants to do... ?

What's your need ?
