Have you checked with http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Woody ?

It's not fully up to date, but that  tracking CVS commit messages might
help you already.
Furthermore, has anyone used Woody extensively yet?  (I know, I know,
it's alpha at this point but I need some serious forms handling.)
Should I be considering Xforms instead?  Who got some experience
getting their hands bloodied with forms in Cocoon?  I'm ever anxious
to find out.
I jotted down already some of the background of Woody's genesis over
here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-devm=105491414614553w=2
So its feature list is in active expansion, and it has been created to 
be extensively used and actively supported.

Re: RSS

On 26/03/2003 18:33 Richard Cunliffe wrote:

I want to call a RSS feed. Is it possible for the style sheet to use the 
XML document it is styling and the XML RSS feed.

How would I set up my sitemap to do this? And how would I call the two 
different XML files in my style sheet?
I understand (please try to formulate your exact question better in the 
future) that you want to use an RSS feed as a source. Your sitemap 
should consider something like this:

map:match pattern=myfeed.html
  map:generate src=http://host/myfeed.rss/
  map:transform src=mystylesheet.xsl/
  map:serialize/
/map:match
when accessing this pipeline using http://host/cocoon/myfeed.html, 
Cocoon will read the RSS feed and apply the mystylesheet.xsl onto it, 
producing HTML (if that's what the stylesheet has been designed for).

I've recently written a (hopefully) layman's intro into Cocoon as a 
paper for a conference, maybe some of it makes sense to you: 
http://www.idealliance.org/europe/03/call/xmlpapers/02-01-05.14/.02-01-05.html

In case you want to really use the content of the RSS feed _inside_ your 
XSLT stylesheet (as a variable perhaps), you should use the XSLT 
document() function, for which you also can specify an URL as a source. 
But all in all, since you have choosen for Cocoon, you might as well use 
Cocoon aggregation or the various IncludeTransformers instead.

Hope this helps,

We don't have access to the list of registered email addresses on

some privacy issues involved with that, too.

Pier, do you have any opinion about this?

I'm thinking along the lines of adding some container-based 
authentication around Edit.jsp, and some smallish webapp so that people 
can register an email address (= user name) / password. Does anyone has 
something like that laying around? Use cases:

 * enter email address - generated pwd gets send to you
   - address  pwd are stored in db
 * you can log into that app
   - change pwd
   - drop your registration data
 * that same database is used for container-based authentication around 
Edit.jsp

What do you guys think?

Hi,

This is the second announcement I've seen for this project.  I must say, 
from what I've seen of it it fills a large gap in the open source 
enterprise software arena.  Have you considered using the Incubator to 
get this into Apache?  Forrest is a good example of a Cocoon-based 
project that has done the same.
Hi Ryan,

the xReporter community is still very young, and only the first 
almost-patches are trickling in ATM. One of the main criteria for 
Apache-adoption is the existence of a _diverse_ group of committers, not 
residing under one single company umbrella, which unfortunately is the 
case ATM with xReporter. Not by intention, just by the young age of the 
project.

As much as we are open to the idea of donating the codebase to Apache, 
we think the community isn't there yet, and we don't just want to dump 
our code for reasons of being 'cool' or the like. We specifically warn 
people of the possibility of an eventual donation in our license, so 
when the community and interest is there, it might happen.

Re: Forrest, I assume you are referring to Lenya really, since Forrest 
is and always has been an Apache project. May I warn you also that Lenya 
has not become an Incubating Apache project yet, IIUC.

[heads-up] wiki abuse: your advice please

2003-03-14 Thread Steven Noels
Folks,

while briefly checking the Wiki, I was confronted with some apparent 
abuse: people uploading attachments which don't have much to do with 
Cocoon (possibly just making benefit of the bandwidth we are 
sponsoring), people playing around on certain non-Sandbox pages, even to 
the extreme of erasing the Main page, and various other not-so-funny 
things. I'm very happy to see some people go in and correct, and the new 
'restore latest version' feature of JSPWiki sure helps with this.

Nevertheless, I'm annoyed a bit by the lack of adult behaviour by some 
IP addresses, and was wondering whether (and how) I should block them. I 
know this sounds pretty harsh, and that's why I'm polling you guys to 
see what you would think would be a fair policy.

I know, thanks to the Power Of Wiki, everybody can come in and make the 
Wiki a self-healing thing, but still I'm worried that someone will come 
and add image links to some nasty p0rn images, and that this will scare 
off our regular community.

Your thoughts, please: what kind of policy would you come up with, or 
are willing to live up to?

Thanks,

[ANN/OT] xreporter 1.1 release - Avalon/Cocoon-based web databasereporting

2003-03-14 Thread Steven Noels
Hi all,

we've just released the 1.1 version of xReporter, our open source
Avalon/Cocoon-based database reporting framework, available from
http://xreporter.cocoondev.org/
xReporter consists of 2 main components:

 * an Avalon Phoenix-based query server, which is configured through
XML-based report definitions, and is accessible across an XML/HTTP interface
 * a Cocoon front-end generating configurable HTML, PDF, Excel and CSV
renditions of your database reports, thanks to the wonders of FOP, POI
and some Cocoon drudgery
New things in this release:

 - a new skinning system to make it easy to implement your own look 
   feel without extensive XSLT coding
 - support for grouping in report definition and visualisation
 - a simplified and configurable build system
 - various other little fixes and patches
xReporter is released under an Apache-style license, and we welcome
contributions and patches. There's a live demo available on the project 
website, too.

Have fun,

/Steven

[strawpoll] use of excelon/progress stylus studio

2003-03-13 Thread Steven Noels
Folks,

I've been contacted by Progress/Excelon to discuss some new features 
they are looking into adding in some upcoming version of Stylus Studio.

Most importantly (to me), they are aiming to provide full XML Entity 
Catalog support to v5 upon my request (OK, I used my Apache hat to 
motivate them), so that people can edit Forrest document-v11 docs 
without being peskered with unresolvable doctype declarations.

Related to my enquiry, the Excelon guy also suggested they would be 
willing to implement better Cocoon support inside Stylus, and we can 
all dream what that might be: sitemap syntax highlighting and 
completion, pipeline debugging, and whatnot. Their XSLT syntax 
completion is already quite nice, and they make use of Xalan/J and /C++ 
internally in their product.

Before starting to influence Excelon into some direction, I'd like to 
know whether Stylus is in heavy use by the Cocoon community. Please get 
back to me if you are using Stylus, and if you have compelling 
Cocoon-related questions/suggestions for them.

I don't know whether this is a Real Thing yet, but it might as well 
become one if we come up with some good stuff to add.

I have no relationship with Excelon/Progress except that Outerthought is 
an educational partner, and we are allowed to provide attendees of our 
XML/XSLT courses with a free copy of the tool.

Cheers, and thanks for any remarks.

Don't ask me how, but by slightly tweaking the HTML in the left menu I 
have a working version on my laptop right now. No need for changing the

My *personal* conclusions on this:

1.) Instead of shouting against the developers i started
writing down my experiences within my company wiki.
I did this because i wanted a clear separation from
all the masters of the art articles turning up in the
cocoon wiki. Besides this some of the points i tackled
have to give at least little insight into tomcat and
other loosely coupled themes which i didn't want to add
to the ever growing cocoon wiki.


Hussayn,

pardon my insistence, but the idea of starting yet another Cocoon 
documentation resource is troubling me a bit, especially if that means 
setting up another Wiki. Given the easy proliferation of Wiki content, 
people will not know anymore where to submit and retrieve information.

Why not start a section within the existing Wiki? I'd be _very_ willing 
to provide you guys _any_ assistance you might need.

And even if the users would insist in having 'their own Wiki' (although 
I think the existing wiki.cocoondev.org is there for _anybody_), I'd be 
happy in providing hosting for that under the neutral cocoondev.org domain.

All feasible and happy to do so, if we have some quorum and some content

Re: newbies documentation - requirements?

Bertrand Delacretaz wrote:

some short notes:


Cocoon newbie docs requirements:

1) GOAL: create a source of reliable information for Cocoon newbies, 
along the lines of how to setup Cocoon in 15 minutes and HOWTO setup 
your intranet with XML in 1 day

like that :-)


2) MUST allow users to comment/improve these docs, in wiki mode to 
make it as easy as possible

OK


3) MUST clearly identify these docs as being for beginners and 
reviewed by an editor of the Cocoon team to prevent beginners from 
getting lost in obsolete/unreliable docs

That might warrant a different Wiki instance for these docs since this 
breaks the fundamental 'uncategorization-ness' of Wikis... or we would 
have to hack JSPWiki. A Wiki doesn't know 'sections', or it ain't a true 
Wiki...

4) SHOULD make these docs and their comments searchable, separately from 
the technical and/or unchecked existing docs to prevent beginners from 
being overwhelmed with irrelevant search results.

JSPWiki offers a global search (which is a bit broken in the version 
currently deployed on wiki.cocoondev.org), but I said already that I'll 
try to fix that ASAP. There's another, invisible issue with the Wiki 
which I need to fix, but which doesn't prevent normal operations. It 
only prevents easy upgrades. And nobody like to hack JSPs over here, I 
assume ;-)

5) MUST allow all wiki docs (these and existing ones) to be searchable 
simultaneously, to prevent users from having to search in X different 
places for info.

If we really want to be sophisticted, someone might build a webapp with 
Lucene and have that deployed on search.cocoondev.org, fed with a 
collection of Cocoon-specific URIs

6) SHOULD be integrated with existing Cocoon community tools to avoid 
fragmentation of skills and resources (for me it is actually a MUST ;-)

Given the success of the existing Wiki, I would seriously recommend 
against creating a new one, even if it's for a specific purpose.

I guess I'm rambling a bit and I'm sorry. Its just frustrating to spend 
several hours on something and essentially get nowhere. Cocoon may be a 
powerful product, but it will never go mainstream in the web, imho, with 
its level of difficulty in understanding it.

... it seems like you are very opinionated, and should thus be a good 
contributor to the Cocoon Documentation effort.

maybe there is some company who can provide a Cocoon Clone which is as
easy to use as PHP. I mean no memory leaks in the VM, no complicated
superlong configration files, no VM restarting for debugging etc


please keep in mind that the name 'Apache Cocoon' is protected, and that 
it will be up to the discretion of the Apache Cocoon PMC or the ASF 
board to let 'other projects' use it.

This doesn't say you are not allowed to port, it just says that you 
would not be able to use the name 'Apache Cocoon' without prior 
permission. Getting that permission could be tricky, or even more 
wicked, creating a subproject _inside_ Apache Cocoon to do a .Net port, 
could be a challenge, largely dependent on the community one could 
create around such an effort.

Hourly Cocoon wiki diff mails are being sent now to the cocoon-docs

[ANN/OT] xreporter 1.0 release - Avalon/Cocoon-based database reporting

2003-01-08 Thread Steven Noels
Hi all,

yesterday, we've released the 1.0 version of xReporter, our open source 
Avalon/Cocoon-based database reporting framework, available from 
http://xreporter.cocoondev.org/

xReporter consists of 2 main components:

 * an Avalon Phoenix-based query server, which is configured through 
XML-based report definitions, and is accessible across an XML/HTTP interface
 * a Cocoon front-end generating configurable HTML, PDF, Excel and CSV 
renditions of your database reports, thanks to the wonders of FOP, POI 
and some custom Cocoon drudgery

Architectural diagram:
   http://xreporter.cocoondev.org/en/my-images/architecture.png 

Most compelling features:

 - multiple datasources  report definitions
 - user/role-based report authorization, container-based authentication
 - column filtering  sorting, query by example
 - no programming required to define complex, multistep database reports
   - optionally using temporary tables
   - expression language  field validation
   - possibility to access non-SQL, 'Web Services' datasources
 - fully customizable look  feel using CSS and XSLT
 - flow control using XML and a ReST HTTP interface

xReporter is released under an Apache-style license, and we welcome 
contributions and patches as we try to grow this into a community-owned 
project. Currently, there is anonymous read-only cvs access and a 
downloadable tarball. There's a limited, live demo available on the 
project website, too.

We would like to sincerely thank the Avalon  Cocoon community for the 
creation of some wonderful toys to play with, and a great guy (you know 
who you are) who made all this possible.

Hi all,

I've temporarily disabled editing facilities on the old location, and 
will try to set up some decent redirection mechanism once the new one is 
up  running. In case you can't wait, please don't forget to re-set your 
 cookie by 'logging in' before editing.

The new site might become temporarily unavailable during the day - but 
not for long consecutive stretches.

Big point is setting log thresholds to ERROR (instead of INFO or DEBUG). 
This should give an immediate and dramatic performance gain.

How about setting these to ERROR by default?

willing to help out but then also are prepared to donate actual time to
it (inside normal working hours), rather than lots of volunteers for
discussion, ranting and whatelse, but no actual work being carried out.

Pretty negative, I know, but that's the experience from also being
a steering member of the xmlbelux user group, which conference 
exhibition tomorrow are attracting only half as many people as our
gettogether, even though there was a much bigger working budget. This is
partly because of quite a few of us steering members who didn't have
real bandwidth when the time was there to do things.

Matthew and I did some talking (too little) yesterday, and at least the
two of us -who might appear as having a vested commercial interest in
this kind of events-, are pretty much convinced that getting bigger
would be nice, but that we weren't willing to give up the formula and
authenticity of this event for that matter. Hence remaining a free event
if at all possible, hence having sponsors to carry the weight of the
budget, but still not being prepared for making a commercial event out
of it (and I regard ApacheCon as being a commercial event for that
matter - with sponsor speaking slots etc etc)./rant

Hope this establishes a good working spirit for next year's event.

[final reminder] Cocoon GetTogether (19 Nov) registration closing

2002-11-06 Thread Steven Noels
Hi all,

just a final reminder: registrations for the Cocoon GetTogether on the 
19th November will be closing next week.

The GetTogether is held in Nazareth, near Ghent in Belgium.

Apache Cocoon is an XML publishing framework that raises the usage of 
XML and XSLT technologies for server applications to a new level. 
Designed for performance and scalability around pipelined SAX 
processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment based on a separation 
of concerns between content, logic, and style. To top this all off, 
Cocoon's centralized configuration system and sophisticated caching help 
you to create, deploy, and maintain rock-solid XML server applications.

You'll find all pertinent information about the event at 
http://outerthought.org/cocoon/gettogether/

Already, more than 80 people have registered, so if you are interested 
to meet and greet fellow Cocoon users or developers, this event is a 
must-attend. Besides, this event is free thanks to the kind sponsorship 
of SN AG, X-Hive, Hippo WebWorks and Outerthought.

Note to Apachecon attendees: the coincidence with the Apachecon dates is 
entirely incidental.

[HEADS UP] interesting Dutch Apache/Cocoon-related conference

2002-10-22 Thread Steven Noels
Hi all,

I was quite pleased finding out the list of speakers gathered by the 
Dutch XML Users Group for its upcoming XML conference. So if you find 
the date/location of the Cocoon GetTogether to be cumbersome when coming 
from the Netherlands, have a look at 
http://www.sgml-ug.nl/HTML/frame_congres/congres2002/fr_congres2002.htm, 
more specifically 
http://www.sgml-ug.nl/HTML/frame_congres/congres2002/02workshop.htm - 
held on November 13-14th.

I'll be doing some Cocoon talk, but you also will be able to meet Dirk 
Willem van Gulik, ASF board member, and previous XML PMC chair.

I hope to do some weblogging at the event - or send a report afterwards.

Cheers,

/Steven

Why are you going to use 2.0.3? Much of the portal stuff has been moved and

current version.


Which is unbelievably sad. 2.1-dev is not in a state to be used by Joe

I agree a lot of nice things have been happening in HEAD so far, but

2002-10-08 Thread Steven Noels

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 what do you mean about the java command in the tomcat startup script?

I assume you run Tomcat using some startup script (batch file), 
%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup.bat comes with the distribution. That script 
starts a Java application, where you can set an HTTP proxy using 
commandline parameters (-Dhttp.proxyPort etc...)

They made it easy to add those parameters since you can also store them 
in an environment variable called CATALINA_OPTS, which is added to the 
line in the %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup.bat that starts Tomcat:

%_STARTJAVA% %CATALINA_OPTS% -Dcatalina.base=%CATALINA_BASE% 
-Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME% org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap 
%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 start

  where should I put the kweelt.jar, rt.jar, regex.jar? Is it ini the

Kweelt is very old and uses Cocoon 1.8.2 - which is even older.

Apart from what is listed on http://xml.apache.org/cocoon1/, there's no

The error message you get is a Tomcat one, I guess, so maybe the Cocoon

  Does it make sense now?  If I need to clarify anything at all or
  paste some things from my first email, please let me know and I will
  gladly do so.

It does make sense and indeed it seems like your changed sitemap isn't 
loaded. Did you clean out the 'work' directory of Tomcat when restarting 
- not that this should be the problem, but one never knows.

Also, adding a error-handling section in your pipeline configuration 
might provide you with some useful info:

   ...
   map:handle-errors
 map:transform src=stylesheets/error2html.xsl/
 map:serialize/
   /map:handle-errors
 /map:pipeline

Another idea: switching to the (interpreting instead of compiling) 
treeprocessor, by swapping it with the normal sitemap engine configation 
with
sitemap logger=sitemap/

Oh, BTW, it's not that you are editing the wrong sitemap file (.bak)?

  I switched treeprocessor by commenting out one sitemap tag and
  uncommenting the other one in cocoon.xconf.

no huuray however?

  Btw, what is stored in Tomcat's work directory?  This might sound
  like a dumb question to you, but I'm still on Hello World. :-)

using the (default) compiled sitemap processor, the java classes that 
implement your sitemap (which are generated using xslt from your 
sitemap.xmap - don't ask ;-) are created there and compiled

many people have experienced already that for some mysterious reasons, 
getting rid of these java sources/compiled classes sometimes does help

  Likewise, I haven't done anything with error handling, so if you feel
  this is something important that I should do here and now to diagnose
  the problem, I humbly ask for a small explanation so I can understand
  what's going on.  For example, what XML source does the
  error2html.xsl file in your sample code operate on?

not exactly a 'source', but a built-in error generator that provides the 
error2html.xsl stylesheet with an XML representation of the 
exception/stacktrace

  Lastly, I know for a fact I'm editing sitemap.xmap and not the
  sitemap.xmap.bak file I created to simply backup the original
  sitemap.xmap file before I started playing around with it.  But it is
  good of you to point out. :-)

I could as well try ;-)

[conference] Cocoon GetTogether | Belgium | 2002-11-19

2002-09-10 Thread Steven Noels


   Cocoon GetTogether - 2002-11-19 - Belgium
   http://outerthought.org/cocoon/gettogether/


I am pleased to announce the first edition of the Apache Cocoon 
GetTogether, a one-day event for both Cocoon developers and users to 
exchange information and discuss the further evolution of Apache Cocoon. 
We are very happy to receive a cast of well-known Cocoon experts, which 
we are sure will offer you news and information right from the horse's 
mouth.

Apache Cocoon is an XML publishing framework that raises the usage of 
XML and XSLT technologies for server applications to a new level. 
Designed for performance and scalability around pipelined SAX 
processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment based on a separation 
of concerns between content, logic, and style. To top this all off, 
Cocoon's centralized configuration system and sophisticated caching help 
you to create, deploy, and maintain rock-solid XML server applications.

More information about Apache Cocoon at http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/.

The event is to be held on November 19th 2002 near Ghent in Belgium - 
more information, detailed agenda and speakers list are available from 
http://outerthought.org/cocoon/gettogether/

This event will be free of charge, but registration is required.

Caveat: this is *not* an official ASF event - it is organized and 
sponsored by Outerthought - the Java, XML and Open Source Competence Center.

Dear all,

Outerthought is happy to announce its one-year anniversary, and is
hosting a Cocoon/Forrest-related event on November 19th 2002 to
celebrate this. In the 'morning' (10AM-2:30PM), we will host an informal
Cocoon Users and Developers get-together with a couple of presentations,
in the afternoon (3PM-5PM) we would like to introduce you to XReporter,
our Avalon- and Cocoon-based datawarehouse reporting framework. Drinks
will be served afterwards. More news will be posted when it becomes
available, but you can send us an e-mail if you want to be informed of
any updates.

The event will be held near Ghent, Belgium and be free of charge.

I will put up a webpage with some event information - but here's already
your opportunity to mark the date in your agenda ;-)

Companies interested in sponsoring the morning event can contact me.
People who want to showcase their development work using Cocoon are
invited to send us a presentation outline.

Kind regards,

Re: The order of the atributes can help developers

 I think it can help better if the attribute name of the components will be 
 the first declared attribute in the sitemap. Of course if it exists ;). 

Attribute order is irrelevant in an XML document - it is up to the 
application if the order is preserved. IIRC, Xalan sorts attributes 
alfabetically.

For general sitemap editing woes, maybe have a look at 
http://pollo.sf.net/ - a general-purpose XML editor that comes with a 
configuration for Cocoon sitemap editing and some entry helpers for that 
purpose.

 I know that. But for the programmers can be better. I thinked in a 
 recommendation or etiquette nothing more. Not to rewrite the SAX 
 specification. ;)

The wonderful world of interpreting W3C specifications :-)

In what way do you see preserving or fixing attribute order being 
'better', except for presentation purposes?

 I know pollo too. But I feel it still in a beta release. I am currently coding 
 with jEdit and the XML Tree Plug-in.

In a Pollo display specification, you can specify the attributes that 
should be shown on the element and the order in which they should 
appear. But that's view-only, I believe, since the attribute editing 
pane operates on the DOM, where the order is so-called irrelevant and 
thus Pollo shows them ... alfabetically. Ha! :-)

Pollo is by no means beta-quality, it's just sub-ambitious with regards 
to its version numbering scheme ;-)

Re: PERFORMANCE - attributes vs. elements

 I know this is a basic XML/XSLT question and is an old debate. I would like
 to know if using attributes as opposed to elements within XML will speed up
 its transformation using XSLT? I have a 3MB XML file which is transformed
 by my XSLT into HTML using Cocoon. I have a few tags in the XML file which
 could be tucked away as an attribute of its parent element. I hit upon them
 while I was trying to search every nook and corner for improving the
 performance. Right now it sucks. Please let me know if anybody has some
 tips  tricks for improving performance, kind of do's and dont's.

You really should look into the internals of the XSLT engine 
implementation you are using with Cocoon, then (being Xalan, XSLTC or 
Saxon) - but I don't offer you high hopes that switching between atts 
and elems will make much of a difference. I seriously doubt so. Maybe 
you can post your XSLT stylesheet for some peer review. There are many 
other ways to improve execution speed of XSLT.

Also, I consider your post to be slightly off-topic, there exists a 
*very* helpfull XSLT-centric mailing list at 
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list - with all the true XSLT gurus 
reading and answering such queries.

HTH,
