Make your IE-window smaller. The behaviour is affected by the hight
of the window, not by the width ... Steven knows already about this. 
I think he's doing something ...

I'm not on IE, nor have I the huge screen to test this particular
condition...

I'm working on the Wiki this morning, and I might find something out, 
but any HTML/CSS enthusiast on the list might give it a go, too. I 
cannot fathom what is going on, except for IE-weirdness. Could one of

This is of course because of your redirect statement. Usually, if your
login-page is called it gets a request parameter named "resource"
that contains the protected resource.
So, you have to take care that you pass this parameter (e.g. via a
hidden input field) to your login pipeline. Then you can
do a redirect to {request-param:resource}.

Re: proposal: "The Newbies Competence Center" (XSLT)

2003-01-28 Thread Derek Hohls



Miles
 
Thanks for the extra insight.  Actually, the XSP and XSLT
issues are separate for me - the XSP is generating
relatively small sets of data, and the XSLT is also not
that complex.  However, I have relatively large static XML
files that I am trying to process using the full DocBook
XSLT code.  These seem to go *very* slowly... could one
cache these - my (very limited) understanding of caching
suggests that file genereated XML is automaticaly cached,
or not?

generators by association) are incredibly fast for the most part, the lack 
of caching can be a serious bottleneck because, as you point out, the 
generators are just the first part of a chain.  XSLT transformers are 
usually cacheable.  Put two or three transformers in a chain and you're 
looking at some processing time.  If your underlying XSP isn't caching, 
the transformers can't cache and have to reprocess the same data over 
again.  If the XSP caches, the transformations cache as well;  
It's a double win!Cocoon 2.0.4 has a caching XSP example 
already.  In CVS, the caching API has changed and the example no longer 
works;  However, there's a wiki doc on a 2.1dev version:http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=XSPCachingWithCocoonHEADAnd 
I do DocBook-like transformations.  Actually, we use a superset of

RE: proposal: "The Newbies Competence Center" (XSP?)

2003-01-28 Thread Derek Hohls



Well, you carefully (or not?) snipped out my point that, in the
end, the XSPs are converted to Java - and at least one of the 
Cocoon books I read suggests this as a perfectly vaild way
to start off doing your own coding for custom generators.
So... I am not sure what you mean by "loss of portability" -
if its porting across to other systems, then no, its not an 
issue for me as I don't have the luxury of time (or the driving
need) to figure out coding for lots of different (non-Cocoon)
systems.  YMMV.
 
All that said, I would be very happy to "upgrade my skills"
(and design approach) to learn how to develop Cocoon-based
systems that are both complex and XSP-free.
 
If you (or anyone else) would care to share your approach
and methodology in the form of tutorials and/or examples, 
I am sure I am not the only one who would benefit from it.

Well yes, but there's a big difference 
between coding your business logic in a proprietary non-portable solution and 
configuring a  pipeline.  By staying away from XSP I can switch 
away from Cocoon to a servlet environment with a couple of days worth of coding 
(although I'll loose a lot of flexibility).

That's all very good.  You just need to 
be aware of the trade off you are making: lower learning code in Java for 
reduced portability.  If that's not an issue for you then full speed 
ahead...
 
None of this changes the fact that it's very 
possible to code a complex Cocoon app without touching a line of 
XSP...

mail errors and eclipse revisited

2003-01-28 Thread Geoff Howard
I've deleted the old email, but I asked about the 60 or so mail related
errors I've been getting in the eclipse task area.  Carsten suggested that I
needed mail.jar on my classpath in eclipse.  I just checked and it was
already there - in lib/local, and added to the libraries properties for the
cocoon project.

Now I've taken a look at the errors and it's even weirder: the first three
are from IndexerCtPref and report for example on line 71 that
isMimeType(String) is undefined for MimePart.  But if I type part. the auto
complete suggests the exact method signature.

Is anyone else seeing this, or is this an off topic problem with eclipse?

You may be right, that people have been used to the word "newbie". What
brought me off from this title were two points:

1.) Looking at the history of the word "newbie" i got a bit uncomfortable
 with it. Not that i wouldn't say newbie any more, but i'd prefer
 to keep the documentation more ... let's say "professional" ?

2.) As you state yourself this documentation effort makes it's start with
 the concerns of "beginners". But it may affect also the rest of the
 documentation. Hence the title "Cocoon Competence Center"
 seems to be more adequate and promising ...

I think you are right, but i'm afraid, we could go on discussing for weeks...
The reason why i started with wiki was the very strong recomendation to
start with what we have and move slowly and iteratively towards the better
world of total cocoonisation ...

There is no doubt, that eventually the documentation shall find its way into
something better publishable, either by cocoon or whatever appropriate.
All of this has been discussed in the proposal

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=104369287706014&w=2

If there is an infrastructure right at hand,that allows me to start of with
producing content immediately, i would be happy to switch. Until then i follow
the guidance of the more experienced cocoon users and developers and
write my docs in Wiki. If this approach is replaced tomorrow, it's ok for me.
I even stated in the proposal, that we need the step of clearification and
then decide what to do. Let's take the Wiki-approach as an experiment...

RE: XMLForms Versus Traditional HTML forms.

2003-01-28 Thread Geoff Howard
oh, I assumed you couldn't find the xmlform samples only - if not, have you
switched up by mistake with the stripped down war I sent?

I see to remember seeing some messages on doing the dynamic binding you are
talking about - may want to do a quick search of the dev list archive and
then start a conversation over there.

Yup - I meant per day.  $500 is approx £300 = £37.5ph based on 8hr day.
Which for an experienced web app developer with Java/XML/XSLT and experience
of Cocoon is reasonable from an employers perspective.

Having said that the best the same could hope to get at the moment in a perm
role would be around 35k per annum and they would be expected to do a lead
role for that.  There is such a glut of coders, lack of roles and tight

less than 30k - the best could easily get twice that a couple of years
ago...

Re: XMLForms Versus Traditional HTML forms.

2003-01-28 Thread Robert Simmons
If there is any overlap, I'm not aware of it. Cocoon is XML centric and not
Java centric. What I'm thinking of is a way to drive XML with Java. So if you
had a bean like ...


public class ChangeAge extends Command {
  private int age;
  private String name;

 // getter and setters.
}

Than a java class would spit out the following:



Registration


  



Name:




age
New age



 
  Change Age
 

  

And then the user could use XSLT to dynamically transform the form into what
they wanted.  The problem is that the sitemap could no longer be effectively
used to configure individual actions because they would largely depend upon
what actions exist in the object model of the beans. But I do have a few
ideas. ;)

Don't rely on my word here - that is my memory of what I learned (and
someone just said that tonight, too right?) looking into xmlform again about
2-3 months ago, so things may have moved on.

I have recently been converted to the "modular database actions" which may
provide some inspiration and groundwork for actions hitting session beans
(assuming that's what you meant).  One xml config file with db table
structure and a few other tidbits handles my insert, update and deletes (for
simple cases) with no coding.  I think they're in 2.0.4 but not positive.
Modular in this case refers to the use of "input modules".  Christian Haul
on the list appears to be the author/resident guru on both.

As a side note, I recently worked with Chris to make some trivial
modifications that allow multipart form file uploads to populate db blobs
automatically.

But why you need then cocoon for? If you just use traditional html
isn't cocoon a bit to much? i'm just curios? Wouldn't it then better
just use jsp or something similar?

The main advantage of cocoon and xmlform for me is still to create
a xml document, which then can be transformed through the pipeline
in nearly every possible format. This means creating applications or
websites, which can serve multiple devices.

Especially for xmlforms  there is a strong seperation of concerns,
which in the first moment and for small application is a bit to
much, but helps to divide the programming of the actual dataflow and
business logic from the presentation layer and keeps the code
manageable. I don't like to mix up any program code with tags from
either xml or html. That's why I use and tried xmlform and don't
feel comfortable with xsp.

Of course you can transform the xmlform tags to html form tags,
as long as there are not to many browser out, which are
understanding xforms, which are still in draft.

BTW does anybody know an reference implementation of an xforms
browser?

Slightly beyond my experience (I also use 'conventional' approach), but I
see
it as;

1. The XMLForm generator creates a XML document of the POST request.
2. You can aggregate that with other XML documents, static or dynamic.
3. Feed that to the transformer(s).
4. Output

Meaning, the main advantage would be that you can do a fair amount of logic
on
the posted request in XSL (XSL is Turing complete, right?), without writing
any Java/XSP code. For some people (those who know XSL better than Java)
that
is more power with less hazzle.

Re: XMLForms Versus Traditional HTML forms.

2003-01-28 Thread Robert Simmons
Theoretically, but if you were trying to deliver an action driven system,
this would be difficult. You would have to validate inside the pipeline and
that would be problematic for a number of reasons. You would have to write
some sort of custom validator. The problem here is that configuration is
being done at the sitemap level and that is resource intensive. IT would be
much more efficient if you could drop in a set of beans, have a Java class
read them via introspection and then generate forms based upon the needs of
that command. Then you would have a command driven architecture that would be
quickly adaptable. all you have to do is drop in another command (a bean
object) and viola, a new form gets spit out the far end. I will screw with
this and see if I can get it to work. Call it "reflexive form generation" =)

Re: XMLForms Versus Traditional HTML forms.

2003-01-28 Thread Robert Simmons
Well, if you want my advice stay away from entity beans. They are evil in the
extreme. As for forms being in draft, that bothers me. I do, however, have
allot of actions I need to write and some common method of outputting the
forms automatically based on the command being run would be interesting to
me. I might take a hybrid approach here.

What Id like to have happen is that a user decides to execute a command which
hits a generator with the name of the command and any initialization
parameters. Then the generator spits out a document containing the structure
of needed information from the form. Then the style sheets take over and
render the forms and then the user can submit them. To do this I might just
borrow the XML form namespace and have the generator spit out valid XML form
documents.

Just thinking out loud.

One potential upside is the fact that XMLForms uses beans for the datamodel
(I think).  that being the case, I have assumed there'd be a way to let
ejb's fill that role (which based on past discussions I assume you're using
here) and you'd get the binding to/from the form for free as you can in jsp.

I've not used xmlform yet because of the draft status and the time to
learn - same issues you raise.  Looks quite promising though, especially if

Re: XMLForms Versus Traditional HTML forms.

2003-01-28 Thread Robert Simmons
Lets not lump cocoon to "XMLForms or no XMLForms." Nor should we pick out any
other one feature of cocoon and say that if you don't use this feature you
shouldn't use cocoon. Nor should we say something like "if you aren't going
pure XML XSL XSP that you shouldn't use cocoon. Cocoon is a toolkit and you
should pick those tools appropriate to your use. I chose cocoon over JSP
because I get the multi format content and clear separation of logic and
presentation. To me, a form is presentation.

As for multi-content, I could easily write a transform that converts things
to WML based forms. Its a matter of taste. Its also a matter of necessity. I
have already spent too long working on the presentation layer to my project
and I don't care to invest another month. I am not merely a learner but a
professional with tight deadlines. I'm not sure its worth the extra effort.
But the "not sure" is why I posted the question. If I was sure, I wouldn't
have posted.

Another thing is if it is in draft than that would be one reason for me to do
it the old way. Real business applications require something that works. That
isn't always the same thing as something that is "cool".

But why you need then cocoon for? If you just use traditional html

just use jsp or something similar?

The main advantage of cocoon and xmlform for me is still to create
a xml document, which then can be transformed through the pipeline
in nearly every possible format. This means creating applications or
websites, which can serve multiple devices.

Especially for xmlforms  there is a strong seperation of concerns,
which in the first moment and for small application is a bit to
much, but helps to divide the programming of the actual dataflow and
business logic from the presentation layer and keeps the code
manageable. I don't like to mix up any program code with tags from
either xml or html. That's why I use and tried xmlform and don't
feel comfortable with xsp.

Of course you can transform the xmlform tags to html form tags,
as long as there are not to many browser out, which are
understanding xforms, which are still in draft.

BTW does anybody know an reference implementation of an xforms
browser?

Slightly beyond my experience (I also use 'conventional' approach), but I
see
it as;

1. The XMLForm generator creates a XML document of the POST request.
2. You can aggregate that with other XML documents, static or dynamic.
3. Feed that to the transformer(s).
4. Output

Meaning, the main advantage would be that you can do a fair amount of logic
on
the posted request in XSL (XSL is Turing complete, right?), without writing
any Java/XSP code. For some people (those who know XSL better than Java)
that
is more power with less hazzle.

At first glance, this does not look very natural in Cocoon, but I don't
think there's enough information given to advise you.  What needs to happen
in the rest of the pipeline?  Are you truly aggregating the content of those
two items, or are you merely trying to use the aggregate feature to trigger
the two pipelines in order?  What does each individual pipeline do/return?

Greetings

Firstly I should warn you I am a complete newbie.

On the following url http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Aggregator I
found this quote:

(Aggregator) "Allows the combination of multiple XML documents. An
individual aggregator contains one or more parts. Each part is a document
fragment, these become children of a new document root, whose element name
is defined by an attribute on the aggregator."

I am trying to get the results from one part and use these to obtain the
correct results from the second part.


   



Is this possible?

Is the aggregator the place to be looking?

Is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks for any help.

AW: I cant get cocoon to process??

2003-01-28 Thread Marco Rolappe
hi richard,

well, you probably didn't find it, because your logging configuration seems
to be different (i.e. strange to me ;-). maybe that's normal for older
cocoon versions, I only know cocoon >= 2.0.3.

one issue (actually 3 ;-) I could find, which is an error in your
sitemap.xmap:





 





 


you tried to surround your single soundpool pipeline with a 'pipelines'
element. furthermore both are incorrectly nested (you should be editing with
an XML editor, which wouldn't allow this). third one: the namespace prefix
(map) on  is missing.

so, this fragment should look like:










there could be other issues (I got errors when trying with 2.0.3), but that
maybe my setup. or it maybe a cocoon 2.0 thing, with which I couldn't really
help.


I'd really recommend upgrading to cocoon 2.0.4 and tomcat >= 4.0.6.

Slightly beyond my experience (I also use 'conventional' approach), but I see 
it as;

1. The XMLForm generator creates a XML document of the POST request.
2. You can aggregate that with other XML documents, static or dynamic.
3. Feed that to the transformer(s).
4. Output

Meaning, the main advantage would be that you can do a fair amount of logic on 
the posted request in XSL (XSL is Turing complete, right?), without writing 
any Java/XSP code. For some people (those who know XSL better than Java) that 
is more power with less hazzle.

XMLForms Versus Traditional HTML forms.

2003-01-28 Thread Robert Simmons



Greetings. I would like to know what people favor 
using. 
 
By my, admittedly limited, knowledge, the 
traditional HTML forms will still work with cocoon as the request will still 
have access to the data. Alternatively if I use XMLForms, I'm not sure how much 
learning effort Id have to invest. I read the XMLForm tutorial at http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/howto/xmlform-wizard/howto-xmlform-wizard-3.html and 
am still a but unclear how I define how the form will be rendered. Does the user 
have control over that at all? If I use HTML forms then I would be imbedding a 
form into an XSL transform which would print out the form for the user. 

 
So basically I am asking what reasons are there to 
use XMLForms.

I assume you are using IE. Not sure what you can customize with the JavaScript 
settings in it. If not much, I suggest you get a better browser. Opera or a 
Linux based one, like Konqueror (comes with KDE), gives the user the all the 
control it takes (control over window.open).

AW: How to open 2 windows?

2003-01-28 Thread Kirchhoff, Lars
hi robert,

you are right that commercial popups are annoying people 
and maybe keep them away from the sites, which using them, 
BUT do you consider cocoon only for publish internet 
website. 

I see cocoon as well as an framework to create web
based user interfaces to backend applications. Therefore I 
would like to create a user centric interface, which is 
as most convinient for the user. Having more than one window
per application is nothing new, right and at some point 
very helpful and time saving especially in the network world
of the internet. 

regards
Lars

Will you be checking jedit.org? Please almost include it as a "usefull

they totally ignore some of the wonderfull applications that people can
use for free.

I hope you will speak good about Cocoon and is fabulous community with

I had a great page today. The dumb shits put a JavaScript action on closing
the page that popped up a dialog saying "if you want to stay at our page,
press ok. If you don't want to leave press cancel." The only way you could
leave that page was to kill the browser with the task manager. They may think
that is smart but I know one thing, Ill never buy a single product from them.
I don't remember the URL though so don't ask. =)

I agree ( where do you can you get the enlargement, you said?? ;o) )

A lot of people disables pop-ups, or (like me) have the browser ask me if I
want it. First one on a site, I consider ok. If commercial, then permenantly
turned off for that site.

I can't turn it off all the time, since some sincere sites are using this
technique, for other things than adverts.

Not ph, per day

Well, I live in a low-cost country (Malaysia) which is 50-75% lower cost of
living than northern Europe (Sweden, Germany is my experience) at large. On
top of that, I don't pay much income tax (<5%).
Can really recommend it...

So do I ;o)  A average programmer here would cost me ~USD1000 a month, a top
notch one with special competency would be about twice that.

I agree ( where do you can you get the enlargement, you said?? ;o) )

A lot of people disables pop-ups, or (like me) have the browser ask me if I 
want it. First one on a site, I consider ok. If commercial, then permenantly 
turned off for that site.

I can't turn it off all the time, since some sincere sites are using this 
technique, for other things than adverts.

Not ph, per day

Well, I live in a low-cost country (Malaysia) which is 50-75% lower cost of 
living than northern Europe (Sweden, Germany is my experience) at large. On 
top of that, I don't pay much income tax (<5%).
Can really recommend it...

So do I ;o)  A average programmer here would cost me ~USD1000 a month, a top 
notch one with special competency would be about twice that.

Hmm, well my book has very little to do with cocoon. Its an advanced java

Basically the book will talk about various java enterprise programing and I
will be using cocoon for the interface to the remote ejbs.

I dont know if this is the best. But I use jEdit to write Cocoon projects.
It has a plug-in for XML, XSL highlighting and another plug-in for XSLT
tranformation that make it very easy to check what your XSLT stylesheet
do. Best of all is OpenSource and because it is coded in Java runs in any
platform. Also for file Save you can configure the diferents char formats:

ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 and more.

There is also a plug-in to manage all your project.

Interesting. Well I wouldn't have enough cocoon knowledge quite yet to do a
contract in it. Perhaps in a couple more months of study. I'm getting
decidedly sick of working for pennies for some stupid company more interested
in politics than product. I'm seriously considering branching out into
contracting when my book hits the market.

XML - XSL Editors?

2003-01-28 Thread Robert Simmons



What are the best XML and XSLT editors on the 
market. I'm looking for something that is easy to use and offers the chance to 
edit XSL in a WYSIWYG style. I tried XML Spy but it is not so easy to use. I 
couldn't even figure out how to get an XSL preview to work properly. It wanted 
me to create an sps file in order to show the transformation but in their sps 
editor I couldn't even tell it to use a file that I had already written. Way 
weird. I also tried eXcelon with is much easier to use. I want to know what 
other options are out there.

RE: Cocoon Job opps in Frankfurt, Germany

2003-01-28 Thread Jeremy Aston
These roles come up on jobserve.com, a UK based service for recruitment
agencies.  I just have a savedsearch that emails me if Cocoon comes up as a
keyword in each day's listings. If you follow the link below then you will
note that all the agencies are UK based.  It is possible the client is using
agencies based in other European countries but Jobserve only really covers
the UK and Australia based agencies.  Of course many of the UK agencies have
international sections, plus seeing as the role is in Frankfurt there is a
good chance that the client may be an international org in the financial
sector and thus might use UK based agencies by default.

hi richard,

you could take a look at tomcat's logs ($TOMCAT_HOME/logs).

and look at cocoon's sitemap.log; around the end of the log search for
'PreparableMatcher' and the like. if there's nothing like that dealing
with
the uri match pattern you specified in your sitemap, definitely didn't
get
processed.

maybe it would be best if you send your logs (if they're not too big)
and
sitemap in a .zip file.

AW: I cant get cocoon to process??

2003-01-28 Thread Marco Rolappe
hi richard,

you could take a look at tomcat's logs ($TOMCAT_HOME/logs).

and look at cocoon's sitemap.log; around the end of the log search for
'PreparableMatcher' and the like. if there's nothing like that dealing with
the uri match pattern you specified in your sitemap, definitely didn't get
processed.

maybe it would be best if you send your logs (if they're not too big) and
sitemap in a .zip file.

Re: AW: How can I send XML as HTTP POST to a URL?

2003-01-28 Thread Ryan Hoegg
If you need to do this to consume a web service, you might check out 
some of the projects at the newly formed Apache Web Services project: 
http://ws.apache.org

These projects were all formerly under other Apache projects.  In 
particular, XML-RPC and SOAP are supported by mature projects:

Using the results of an aggregate part.

2003-01-28 Thread Joe Latty



Greetings
 
Firstly I should warn you I am a complete 
newbie.
 
On the following url http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Aggregator I 
found this quote:
 
(Aggregator) "Allows the combination of multiple XML 
documents. An individual aggregator contains one or more parts. Each part 
is a document fragment, these become children of a new document root, whose 
element name is defined by an attribute on the aggregator."
 
I am trying to get the results from one part and 
use these to obtain the correct results from the second part.
 
        
                
 
Is this possible? 
 
Is the aggregator the place to be looking?
 
Is there a simple way to do this?
 
Thanks for any help.
 
Joe

Re: How to open 2 windows?

2003-01-28 Thread Bert Van Kets
I agree, but there are occasions that opening two windows is very valid.
You can't post a response to two browser windows at the same time.  The 
second window doesn't even exist yet.
You have to open the second window using javascript in the onLoad event of 
teh page containing the html.  In the window.open command add the url of 
the pdf and your's done.
Don't try to solve everything using the sitemap.  Regular web site building 
techniques still apply in Cocoon!

  I think that Miles' outline below reflects a very good way
  of organising the primary Cocoon site.  I am not sure that
  it is completely appropriate for new users (yes, I still 
  think there is a distinction between a user and a 'hard core'
  developer - see later replies).  
  The "First Steps" chapter listed below is the one that needs
  some thought and attention.  My feeling is that we need to
  focus on the problems that needs to be solved, rather than
  a lengthy description of what is *possible* with Cocoon.  
  This should be difficult to draw up; there are many common 
  problems for web developers and it should not be that hard
  to create some example solutions.
   
  Comes back to what I am comfortable with "learning by seeing
  and then doing"... the light of in-depth understanding usually
  dawns a little later on.

  issue with in Lajos and Jeremy's book: which "Generators" section should I 
  be looking in?  I also don't know that a quick reference and a manual 
  must be distinct items.  For a printed book, this makes a lot of 
  sense.  But the web is inherently a quick reference -- bouncing from 
  relevant topic to relevant topic.  This is an area where I think the 
  existing documentation (for some components) shines.  If you take a 
  look at the Request XSP logicsheet (http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/xsp/request.html), 
  this is an example of what I mean.  If the page simply had quick, 
  in-page links to description, usage, examples, and quick reference, you 
  would be done.  A user looking up information says, "Hmmm, I know I 
  want to use a serializer so I'll go to the serializer section."  From 
  there, they can select if they want an example, an API lookup, etc.  
  Quick references exist because no one wants to haul around five hundred 
  page books.  But if you are on the web, you already have access to a 
  million page book.  The same rules don't apply.However, I 
  think the above list has merit if you clearly define what "development" 
  is.  I tend to think that *anyone* who installs Cocoon and edits 
  something to be a developer rather than a user.  The users, in my 
  mind, are the folks using the web browser.  There are, however, 
  different classes of developer.  For example, if you write an XSP 
  document, you've in essense written a generator.  No, they didn't 
  call javac themselves, but it's only slightly different.  The 
  difference mainly lies in its relative ease, not in the intent.  If 
  you set up a pipeline in the sitemap, what are you if not a developer 
  assembling components together?On the other hand, making changes 
  to the Flow engine, the cache store, the sitemap parser, etc. are 
  definitely different from writing your own transformer.  The 
  distinction in the documentation should be "here are things you can do for 
  your own benefit that affect no one else" and "here are things that 
  fundamentally affect the requirements for other components."For 
  example:1) Architecture Overview/Primer/First Steps  a) Why 
  Cocoon exists  b) Quick start installation  c) Hello World 
  (XSP document going through a simple transformer and serializing to 
  HTML)  d) Very brief introduction to sitemaps, generators, etc. by

there is an ongoing effort to Forrest-ize [1] all the Cocoon doc, doing (nearly) all 
of the above.

Preloading parts of cocoon.

2003-01-28 Thread Robert Simmons



Greetings. Whenever I change a page in my sitemap 
and redeploy, I notice that the first time I hit a page it takes cocoon a few 
seconds to start the page. Is there any way we can get cocoon to preprocess this 
stuff at deployment time so that the users only see instant results 
?

Hmmm, you're of course right! However the PNG's have transparent background
on all but the IE browsers. I'll have to play with that...

(http://www.svg-spot.com/article13.html)
"Opacity goes from 1 (totaly opaque) to 0 (totaly transparent)."

Re: proposal: "The Newbies Competence Center"

2003-01-28 Thread Robert Simmons
I don't think that the word "newbie" is such a stigma. People know when they
are newbies and not. Rarely do people take it offensively unless its an
outside person telling them that they are a newbie. In fact people can take
it tongue in cheek as the "for Dummies" or "Idiots guide to ... " books show.
Despite their tongue in cheek titles they are amazingly popular. However, the
documentation we are proposing is not just targeted at newbies but eventually
will span the spectrum of users. For this reason I think the title you
proposed is the right one. As to using Wiki, I never have but I will state
that id like the documentation to actually be served by cocoon. The benefits
to that is the multi-content publishing framework at its best. Users can get
PDFs or post script or any number of other types of content as well as the
surfed content.

What I would like to see now is a style guide for XML documents that will be
common to all published cocoon info. In this manner we can apply a standard
XSLT transform to all documents and the writers would just be using XML to
accomplish the task. This would give us allot of flexibility. What I am
talking about is a custom schema (or borrowed one) that all of the
documentation authors can validate against and that the template authors can
use to transform. Then I would suggest that the full cocoon samples and
documentation be put through this framework. It would take some thought
because you want the ability to have it referencable and indexable. For
example, I should be able to create a sitemap entry that will combine all
cocoon docs into one big page and transform it into PDF.

Its always best if you start with architecture and start filling things in.

Good point!

If that is also made from the "background of user" aspect, so that;

"You know XML/XSL and want to publish static content - click here"

"You are a DB developer who wants to expose XML data - click here"

"You are Stefano Mazzocchi and want to - you are in the wrong area"


Base it on use cases and add "1 hour or less" exercises.
I assume that a pre-condition here is a "suitable" distro to start from.

Re: IDE for cocoon

2003-01-28 Thread Robert Simmons
Well I don't have money to buy any tools. Usually I have to get companies to
buy them. However as a suggestion, fi you are trying to get more customers,
Id investigate a way to integrate your concepts with open platforms like
NetBeans or eclipse. Breaking people off from their normal IDEs is tough.
Getting them to add new functionality to them is much easier.

Just a warning. There has been a study recently that quite well confirms that
using popups in a commercial web site is a good way to drive traffic AWAY

half the web sites on the internet could be bad for self confidence. =)

Jordi,
the processing time is written to 

WEB-INF/logs/core.log

Of course it depends on your logging configuration, but with the default it should be 
there. Otherwise have a look at you logkit.xconf file.

The log entries in our core.log typically look like this:

INFO(2003-01-28) 17:53.13:459   [access] (/medizinische-berufe/view/JobIndex.htm)

Re[2]: sunRise login error rediect - doesn't work always

2003-01-28 Thread ilfrin
Hi Carsten,

CZ> Which version of cocoon are you using?

2.0.4

CZ> The only suggestion I could make is turning on debug logging and have
CZ> a look at the logs what is exactly happening (Seeing how far everything
CZ> comes and where the exception excatly occurs.)

I'll try that, it'll take some time cause I have unlimited access only
to the production servers and the problem occurs on a machine that
holds the official website but I'll do it sooner or later

anyway thanks, if I get any results I'll be in touch

Here's the problem:  While it's true that XSPs (and generators by 
association) are incredibly fast for the most part, the lack of caching 
can be a serious bottleneck because, as you point out, the generators 
are just the first part of a chain.  XSLT transformers are usually 
cacheable.  Put two or three transformers in a chain and you're looking 
at some processing time.  If your underlying XSP isn't caching, the 
transformers can't cache and have to reprocess the same data over 
again.  If the XSP caches, the transformations cache as well;  It's a 
double win!

Cocoon 2.0.4 has a caching XSP example already.  In CVS, the caching API 
has changed and the example no longer works;  However, there's a wiki 
doc on a 2.1dev version:

http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=XSPCachingWithCocoonHEAD

And I do DocBook-like transformations.  Actually, we use a superset of 
Simplified DocBook (http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/simple/).  
Most of the transformations templates are very simple (eg.  to 
,  to ).

Re: [SVG] Transparent background of generated PNG

2003-01-28 Thread Miles Elam
As was already mentioned, it's a long-standing IE bug that should have 
been fixed years ago.  (MS pledged full PNG support back in the days of 
IE 4.)

One option is creating a specific stylesheet for IE that uses 
IE-specific markup and styling.  The other (one that I prefer) is a 
piece of JavaScript that, if it detects IE, walks the DOM looking for 
 elements with png references and programmatically replaces them 
with IE-specific markup without having to edit the source document 
manually.  Just add

   

to your  element in the HTML.

The script is here: http://youngpup.net/demos/sleight/sleight.js

One major caveat though: it only works with IE 5.5 and above so your 
expected clients can't be predominantly IE 5.0.  On the bright side, 
most other manufacturers' browsers work correctly with or without the 
script.

Hi Richard, Derek. Sorry to butt in, but heres my two cents:



Tomcat/Cocoon is pulling your soundpool.xml file unchanged. This /could/
be
because

tomcat is not forwarding the request to Cocoon, but I think that is
unlikely.



You can test it by renaming the soundpool.xml file to something else and
trying the

url http://192.168.0.5:8080/soundpool/soundpool.xml 



If you get a "Cocoon resource not found" error, then you can be sure the
request is 

reaching Cocoon.



*However* the map:match pattern you showed seems to indicate that

you should be accessing the URL without the final .xml instead:



http://192.168.0.5:8080/soundpool/soundpool 



I would guess some other part of the sitemap is setup to supply

a .xml file directly if it is requested as such.



--Pause-- :)



Next, your serializer might need to look something like this:







Then you know you're getting the html serializer and not the 

xml serializer. It's important because the serializer defines

the content-type that the browser sees.



Oh, and I'm assuming that your xsl transform converts your soundpool.xml

into valid html, correct? So you would have something like

assuming your xslt is named soundpool.xsl and lies

Subject: Re: I cant get cocoon to process??

hmm..

I would do this: take your webserver out of the way for
a moment. you want to test cocoon, not the webserver/tomcat
connection, right ?
then:

1.) setup tomcat so that you can direct access it from
 your browser. Look for these lines in tomcat/conf/server.xml:

 
 
port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="2"
useURIValidationHack="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"


 />


 this should be already setup. test it: http://yourserver:8080
 tomcat should show up.

 if it does not, double check that your tomcat has a HTTP connection
 and on whoich port it is serving.

2.) now test your cocoon:

 http://yourserver:8080/cocoon

 i suppose your cocoon startpage comes up. you already reported
 this. but double check it...

3.) now dive into your sitemap:

  http://192.168.0.5:8080/cocoon/soundpool/soundpool.xml

 or whatever...

by the way, have you deployed cocoon under the name "soundpool"?
or is the link i found further down missspelled ???
Maybe you did something wrong within your tomcat  definition
also in tomcat/conf/server.xml ?

I learned to get very simple minded when it comes

1.) are you shure, cocoon is receiving the request at all 
you can verify by looking at WEB-INF/logs/access.log
2.) do any stack traces pop up in the cocoon log files ?
besides access.log there are three others ...
3.) Are you using IE as browser? then try to delete the
browser cache. sometimes this has driven me crasy.
4.) have you checked your servlet mounts from the webserver

no other ideas. if cocoon is processing your request at all,
the cocoon logs should reveal what happens...

Since i was looking at the secnd definition

maybe this is what your problem causes: simply another

just to mention it: first match wins...

hmm..

I would do this: take your webserver out of the way for
a moment. you want to test cocoon, not the webserver/tomcat
connection, right ?
then:

1.) setup tomcat so that you can direct access it from
 your browser. Look for these lines in tomcat/conf/server.xml:

 
 


 this should be already setup. test it: http://yourserver:8080
 tomcat should show up.

 if it does not, double check that your tomcat has a HTTP connection
 and on whoich port it is serving.

2.) now test your cocoon:

 http://yourserver:8080/cocoon

 i suppose your cocoon startpage comes up. you already reported
 this. but double check it...

3.) now dive into your sitemap:

  http://192.168.0.5:8080/cocoon/soundpool/soundpool.xml

 or whatever...

by the way, have you deployed cocoon under the name "soundpool"?
or is the link i found further down missspelled ???
Maybe you did something wrong within your tomcat  definition
also in tomcat/conf/server.xml ?

SourceWritingTransformer: namespaces

2003-01-28 Thread Alex Romayev
Hi,

I'm need to use a namespace insite source:replace tag,
for example:

http://apache.org/cocoon/source/1.0";
  xmlns:myns="http://foo.org/myns";>
  /
  myns:item
  ...


When I run this, I get:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Prefix must
resolve to a namespace: myns.

Is it actually possible to use a namespace inside a
replace tag?

Thanks,

Re: WebSphere 5.0 and cocoon

2003-01-28 Thread Cameron McKenzie
Really think I've licked the WebSphere 5.0 problem now.

The trick is this.  Make sure the application server
classloader is set to MODULE visibility.  Then set the
classloader on the ear to PARENT_LAST and then again,
set the classloader on the war module to PARENT_LAST. 
Once you've made these changes, the cocoon war should
run without a hitch.

Good luck.

Well, I think Tomcat/Cocoon are working OK, otherwise
the basic Hello World would not not be working.

You say you cannot see anything in the log files that
makes sense - well, this is an area that its very useful
(and I speak from bitter experience) and worth the time
getting up to speed in!  If unsure, then:  stop Tomcat,
delete the log files, restart - they *should* be clear.  If
not, note what is there and carry on.   Try your URL and
then immediately look in the files again - any new messages
should be related to what you have just tried.  If these
do not make sense, then post them here.

Anyway - to your problem below.  I think the issue
is that your typed URL: ...soundpool/soundpool.xml
does not match the pattern in the pipeline - which is
expecting only: soundpool

So, either change your typed URL to:
http://192.168.0.5:8080/soundpool
or change the match to:


or some other combination that links one to the 
other...  you could have:

http://192.168.0.5:8080/soundpool/soundpool

That's all very good.  You just need to

None of this changes the fact that it's very

Hussayn,

It sounds to me, like cocoon is not being forwarded the requested page
and perhaps that’s why there is no processing going on. I installed
cocoon by copying in cocoon.war, and set-up apache and tomcat, by using
jserv. Is there anything else I should do here?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Cocoon application
debugging !

First off, I assume that the Cocoon samples are up-and-
running, so that you have tested that the Cocoon servlet 
as such is working OK.

Next thing is to check the log files; you will find them
located under the [cocoon] directory (which I guess you
have installed somewhere under tomcat)  in a subdir
called WEB-INF/logs.

Finally - and this is the hard part! - you will need to try 
and understand what is causing the "missing link" - 
it *seems* like it might be the entry in your site map -
perhaps you can post that part of the site map that
should be doing the xml/xsl matchin

I agree.  My feeling (and I think Robert to a degree) is that the benefit of
the minimal build with an almost empty sitemap is only alongside something
else that shows
the full range of possibilities.  I'm not sure that something else should
always be the sitemap - the docs may be a better place but am not sure if
they have kept up with the info
in the sitemap.
