RE: integrating cocoon with websphere developer studio, is possible?

Sorry...we don't implement Cocoon as an application framework...all I do is use a sitemap to route PDF requests through the servlet to generate PDFs on the fly...I'm sure someone else here will be able to help you though :-) Good Luck! Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [m

RE: integrating cocoon with websphere developer studio, is possible?

2003-03-14 Thread robert_hitchins
We run WAS 4 and develop in WSAD 4 and Cocoon runs fine on both (was even able to get it running on WAS 3.5.4). We were able to get it up and running simply by installing the WAR file as described on the Cocoon website (WAS 4 installation is at the very end of the installation instructions).

Cocoon 2.0.3 and WebSphere Studio Application Developer 5.0

Hi All, Was wondering if anyone has had any experience deploying the Cocoon 2.0.3 WAR file under WebSphere Studio Application Developer 5.0 or WebSphere Application Server 5.0? I import the WAR in WSAD 4.0.3 and it works just fine...when I import it under WSAD 5.0, it appears to import fin

You should listen to your own words...Cocoon is a *TOOL*...and as such it is not, nor has it ever been, intended as a cure-all for developing web applications. Perhaps someday it will be, but what it is now, is a very slick way to take content in XML form from your logic layer and use a flexib

Vasil, I've done this...all I had to do was to deploy the cocoon.war file using the admin console and restart the server...everything worked fairly seamlessly. However, if you need to install under 3.5.X send me an email and I'll let you know the specifics of how to do it...it was NOT straigh

I guess I was unclear in my first posting...currently, I produce an XML document based on querying the database. I create that file in the cocoon/mount/html-pdf directory on my application server's filesystem and then pass it to cocoon with the following sub-sitemap: http://apache.org/cocoon/

Hi...my application that generates PDFs from XML files works just fine, but I am getting tons of XML files left on my server. I would like to be able to send SAX events to the pipeline instead of using the default "file" generator. Can anyone point me at a good example of this please? Thank

Vicki, I'm kind of new at Cocoon, but I had a similar problem and what I did was to use Java code to generate an XML file from the dynamic data and pass that to the default generator in Cocoon. I suppose you could also generate SAX events and pass them to Cocoon as well if you didn't want the

Kasper, I'm kinda new at this too, but I believe you can do that easily with xslt...just define two components and stylesheets in your pipeline...one to include the first xml file and one to include the second one. There may be a faster/easier way to do this ;-) Bob Hitchins -Original

RE: Problems rendering PDF dynamically, but identical fop xml works fine when sent straight to serializer

James, Ran into something similar...this may help: Make sure that the fop JAR file version inside Cocoon is the same as the one you use when you serialize. I had fop-0.20.4.jar running from the command line and fop-0.20.3.jar running inside Cocoon and noticed some anomalies. Hope this helps!

Jaimes, Here is a VERY simple sitemap that only takes a request for a PDF file and process the input XML file against the appropriate XSL file. This may be a good starting point if you don't need a bunch of other stuff. Hope it helps! Bob SITEMAP.XMAP http://apache.org/cocoon/sitemap/1

Hi All, I'm trying to get Cocoon loaded under WebSphere 3.4.5. This has full support for Servlet 2.2 so according to the Cocoon requirements it shouldn't be an issue. I have exploded the war and created a web application in WebSphere and that all seems to be OK. However, when I browse to t
