passing parameters to xsp files
Title: passing parameters to xsp files Hi, Currently I'm working on a web application that uses an Oracle 8i database, Cocoon 2.0, Tomcat 4.1 and Apache 2.0. I'm using XSP to query, insert and update my database. Now I stumbled upon the following problem. I've searched the web for answers, but even Google wasn't able to help me. So you guys and girls are my last hope. ;-) Using XSP want to update a table in my database. So far, no problems. This is the relevant section in the sitemap: !--updating the different columns of the element -- map:match pattern=update/*.xml map:generate type=xsp src=""> map:transform src=""> map:transform type=cinclude/ map:serialize type=html/ /map:match !-- update application form processing -- map:match pattern=form/update-application map:act type=form-validator map:parameter name=descriptor value=context:///DIS/database/validate/insert-application.xml/ map:parameter name=validate-set value=insert-application/ !-- if success -- map:generate type=xsp src=""> map:transform src=""> map:serialize type=html/ /map:act !-- if fail -- map:read src="" mime-type=text/html/ /map:match map:match pattern=include/owner.xml map:generate type=xsp src=""> map:transform src=""> map:serialize type=html/ /map:match I've also attached the relevant xslt and xsp files. As you can see, I include the transformed owner.xsp file in my application.xsp file. I do this, because I want my users to have a drop down box with them showing all the possible foreign keys. This way they can never make a mistake updating foreign keys in the database. This all works fine, updating and everything. Except for this: I want the right foreign key selected in my form. I cannot expect my users to select the right owner in the drop down box everytime they do an update. So I want to tell the owner.xsp file the owner_id of the application.xsp file that includes it. A simple test in the owner.xslt should then do the trick. I know it is possible to pass parameters through the sitemap, but in this case I want the contents of my parameter to be dependent on the contents of my xsp file. I don't know how to do this. I don't even know if I'm thinking in the right direction. Can you please help me on this? Thanks!

I am not sure whether I do understand the problem precisely, but you know, that you can make cascaded transformations? I mean something like: XSP--XSLT--SQL Transformer---XSLT---Serializer So then you could prepare the stuff in the XSP, then use the SQL transformer to get the detail information and finally put it all together. I am not really sure, whether this helps, but maybe you get a new idea. alex - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi
Carolien,
I
guess you want something like this .
(I did
it in plain xml/xsl, didn't find the time to use cocoon on this one, but it's a
working sample.
Where
I use the document function in XSL, you should put the values you cincluded
)
I made
2 xml files (BillGates.xml and JenniferLopez.xml)
I have
one file to fill the comboboxes with the "Gender" attribute.
I then
transform the files into HTML using the fourth file, the
Client.xsl.
As you
will see, the genders are depicted correctly for both (as far as I
know)
The
code that really does it is this ...
selectxsl:for-each
select="document('genders.xml')/xml/gender"option
value="@id" xsl:if test="@id =
/xml/client/gender"xsl:attribute
name="selected"true/xsl:attribute/xsl:ifxsl:value-of
select="@description"//option/xsl:for-each/select
I
think this will solve your problem, as your comboboxes are put on the value they
already had

Yves

Hi,
Currently I'm working on a web application
that uses an Oracle 8i database, Cocoon 2.0, Tomcat 4.1 and Apache 2.0. I'm
using XSP to query, insert and update my database.
Now I stumbled upon the following problem.

Using XSP want to update a table in my
database. So far, no problems. This is the relevant section in the
sitemap:
!--updating the different columns of the
element -- map:match pattern="update/*.xml"
map:generate type="xsp"
src=""/
map:transform
src=""/
map:transform type="cinclude"/
map:serialize type="html"/
/map:match
!-- update application form processing
-- map:match
pattern="form/update-application"
map:act type="form-validator"
map:parameter name="descriptor"
value="context:///DIS/database/validate/insert-application.xml"/
map:parameter name="validate-set"
value="insert-application"/
!-- if success --
map:generate type="xsp"
src=""/
map:transform
src=""/
map:serialize type="html"/
/map:act
!-- if fail --
map:read src=""
mime-type="text/html"/
/map:match
map:match pattern="include/owner.xml"
map:generate type="xsp"
src=""/
map:transform
src=""/
map:serialize type="html"/
/map:match
I've also attached the relevant xslt and xsp
files.
As you can see, I include the transformed
owner.xsp file in my application.xsp file. I do this, because I want my users
to have a drop down box with them showing all the possible foreign keys. This
way they can never make a mistake updating foreign keys in the database.
This all works fine, updating and everything.
Except for this: I want the right foreign key selected in my form. I cannot
expect my users to select the right owner in the drop down box everytime they
do an update. So I want to tell the owner.xsp file the owner_id of the
application.xsp file that includes it. A simple test in the owner.xslt should

sitemap, but in this case I want the contents of my parameter to be dependent
on the contents of my xsp file. I don't know how to do this. I don't even know
if I'm thinking in the right direction.
Can you please help me on this? Thanks!

I might be totally off-hook, but did you know there is a get-sitemap-parameter tag in the xsp-util logicsheet? /Steven -- Steven Noelshttp://outerthought.org/ Outerthought - Open Source, Java XML Competence Support Center Read my weblog athttp://blogs.cocoondev.org/stevenn/ stevenn at outerthought.orgstevenn at apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
