Reporting Engine
I have been tasked to build/find/modify a reporting engine inside cocoon. I have looked at the POI project, and it will not fit, as we don't want Excel to be the client. I am hoping for any information on any engines that people have used inside cocoon, or if anyone knows of any engines that are XML based that could be integrated. Our ideal solution would be: 1. Has an XML based template mechanism to let end users create templates. 2. Uses XSL to translate to HTML/PDF. (We can build these, but if the engine has them already, great) 3. Has a mechanism for plugging in SQL into the pipeline for the data to put in the template. (We can build this as well, but if it is already in there, great) Thanks in advance for any info.

xReporter...I am using xReporter right now. It takes a little time to understand all the stylesheets but I think it works great for reporting.

RE: Cocoon as a web reporting engine
2) Our front end is all .jsp pages. How do we set things up so that our servlet engine first processes the .jsp page, then feeds the resulting file to Cocoon? We need to use Java calls from the JSP pages to pull the data that will go on our reports. Assuming we'd use an XML template in the JSP page instead of an HTML one. The server would need to first process the Java in the JSP page to fill in the xml tags in the page. Then, this page would go through cocoon, get translated, marked-up, etc. Is this the correct way to do it, and how do we do this? If you can get your jsp pages to produce some kind of XML data, you can use the JspGenerator to feed the result onto a cocoon pipeline. So, yes it is feasible. I've only done simple stuff this way, though. How do you configure to feed the result onto a cocoon pipeline? As I understand, the way cocoon get to serve a request is through a certain uri pattern, let say, http://localhost/cocoon/something.xml... From a JSP page, when you're finished constructing XML data, how can you feed the data to a cocoon producer? I have the same need as Darrel but are still struggling to find the way. Please help. - Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You have Cocoon get the request, not the JSP page. On the matching pipeline, use the JspGenerator as the XML source, and then process the XML stream at will with the other transformers/serializers. There's an example in the samples directory on the distribution. - Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
