Aftermath: Cocoon class at Software Development conference
Just thought y'all (as in both developers and users, hence the cross-posting) might like to hear: Last week, I taught a 90-minute session on Cocoon at the Software Development West conference in Santa Clara. It was pretty well received, according to the eval forms I peeked at. But it was at the very end of the conference, tucked away in the farthest corner. So, what the heck, we touched the lives of eight more people. :-) Seven, actually -- one wrote that now he knows Cocoon isn't what he needs, thanks for the info! When it comes time to teach it again, I'll send around a request for real-world experiences: what is your organization using Cocoon for, and what alternatives did you explore and discard? (I'll also agitate for a less stealthy venue!) In fact, if any of you would like to bombard me with replies now, I'll start collecting and editing the list. You may take it as read that I'll parse the live sites/powered by list as well. Feel free to send email directly to me, I see no need to further clutter the lists with this traffic. (I reiterate that I'll collate and post an edited list of responses). Thanks for all your help, and thanks for such a great product! rw -- the Tao which can be debugged is not the true Tao. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
help, please: my 2.0 logicsheets stopped working with 2.0.2
hello all,
cocoon allows us to divide labor, as designed. content people get the
source XML file, style people work with the XSL file, and we programmers
hack on XSP.
in order to ensure that the content people didn't have to wade through
(and replicate!) XSP code in each of their pages, we'd adapted an
example from the 2.0 documentation, allowing them to insert a single tag
instead of all the code. with the examples in 2.0.3, it looks like the
logicsheet idea has been turned around, or else i understood it
backwards in the first place! the logicsheet example in 2.0 showed an
XSL applied which inserted logic, which is exactly what we want.
in any case, the following used to work, and no longer does. i included
all the processing-instruction and namespace headers just in case that's
the problem; most of the logicsheet and other content has been elided,
of course!
the content providers work on documents looking like this =

i see no errors cropping up anywhere; it's as if the stylesheet
ems.xsp.xsl is no longer applied to the document, so that none of the
XSP logic fires. i have to admit i never really understood how cocoon
knew to apply that logicsheet (unless it has to do with the prefix
thing in cocoon.xconf).

my built-in logicsheet stopped working between 2.0 and 2.0.3
hi all,
we're doing some XSP stuff, where the same XSP logic needs to be applied
across source documents. one way to do it would be cut-and-paste (arg!),
but we've chosen instead to implement our own built-in tags, where, say,
fas:header-info/ calls in a whole slew of processing.
(much of this processing has to do with session maintenance and the
like, and nowadays we'd probably redo it all with actions. considering
that we had the thing working, and need to have it working again in two
weeks, though, we're disinclined to re-architect!)
this is working with a 2.0 installation of cocoon; we have the critter
as a built-in logicsheet, referenced in cocoon.xconf. the file lives (as
text, no JAR) in $COCOON_HOME/WEB-INF/classes/ems/logicsheet/, and if i
delete the file the pipeline breaks. but the logicsheet does not seem to
be applied; even if i replace all the hairy, scary logic in its
templates with simple text content that the pipeline should subsequently
stuff into the HTML output, that content does not appear.
i've checked namespace declarations, BTW.

Re: What are content management and middleware?
content management, as used in this industry, usually encompasses user-access tools as well as organization and presentation. for instance, grabbing a bit of marketing jargon at random, Insite Server, a 100% browser-based, out-of-the-box content management software that allows teams to create, edit, manage, revise and publish Web sites and intranets. middleware is software that allows applications to talk to each other. CORBA is middleware; RMI is middleware; Java Message System is middleware. the customary use of the term refers to *products* that implement middleware, along with various value-added services. SonicMQ is a middleware package. cocoon is really none of the above. cocoon's content architecture (separating logic from styling from content from management) simplifies content management, but doesn't do it for you. for example, if i want to give access to FNORD.XML to our content people, FNORD2HTML.XSL to our design people, and keep all the administrative powers to myself, i have to work out all the ins and outs of file permissions, user accounts, and suchlike. without cocoon, it'd be even worse. hope this helps, rw On Sun, 2002-01-06 at 15:59, Stephen Clarke wrote: Hi, This may be too basic a question.

I have a situation where I need direct access to the HttpServletRequest
and Reponse objects. Basically, there's an existing servlet in our
environment, written a long time ago and used by many other bits to
provide SingleSignOn capability. This servlet is used by more than
just things that reside within Cocoon2. (ie. perl CGI processes, etc
use it as well).
I do not have the option of rewriting this servlet as a Cocoon
thingy. Possibly in the future, but not today.
Okay, so having tried to justify that, :), I am faced with
trying to get the raw HttpServletRequest/Response objects from
within an Action in Cocoon2. [ It used to be done within XSPs,
but the advent of Actions made me switch to doing the SingleSignOn
stuff from within an Action instead. ]
The action looks like this:
public Map act (Redirector redirector, SourceResolver resolver,
Map objectModel, String src, Parameters par)
throws Exception {
sso iAm = new sso(
http://someurl/that/does/sso;,
(HttpServletRequest)
objectModel.get(HttpEnvironment.HTTP_REQUEST_OBJECT),
(HttpServletResponse)
objectModel.get(HttpEnvironment.HTTP_RESPONSE_OBJECT) );
:
.
What I'm finding is the the objectModel.get() is simply returning
null.
What am I missing? How do I get the raw HttpServletRequest/Response
objects?

So make the best of this test and don't ask why.'

Re: C2 and Resin

But from the stack trace you provided, it looks like there's another jar file that has a competing XML parser in it. It's this class that's being called that makes me suspect there's still an XML parser jar somewhere in in the resin 1.3 lib directory: at com.caucho.xml.AbstractParser.setProperty(AbstractParser.java:299) Couple of questions that will help in identifying where the problem lies: 1. What does your CLASSPATH look like? It should be blank when you start up Resin. 2. What are the contents of the resin/lib directory? I'm guessing that one of the jar files in there has the com.caucho.xml.AbstractParser class. You could do a jar tf against each jar in that directory and look for the com.caucho.xml.AbstractParser class and try renaming that jar file.

Re: [c2] cocoon.log outside of servlet context

I've placed a /tmp/ into the log-dir element and my cocoon.log apears there. I'm using linux, too. i think it should be file:///tmp/cocoon.log? I'd tend to agree with this as well. file://tmp/ would be a description of a pathname relative to ... the servlet context? -- Rick Tessner[EMAIL PROTECTED] MYRA Systems Corp.
