Re: CVE-2023-49733: Apache Cocoon's StreamGenerator is vulnerable to XXE injection

[warrell harries]

Hi Cedric,

Does this build still use the infamous Log4J v1. 2 jar I know it's
actually benign due to no use of the jndi but security vulnerability
scanners usually complain.

Thanks for your work on this.

Best regards

Re: using cocoon 2.1 in the long-term, security concerns

[warrell harries]

The Tomcat version must be updated to address these concerns.

That should do it

Great news!

Well done!

The download is still showing version 2.12

Re: How to configure TraxProcessor in 2.2?

Hi Mark,

I never could get 2.2 working 😂

However, I'm using 2.12 every day, all over the world - mostly with Saxon

All I can advise, use 2.12...

Re: Matching HTML GET parameters in sitemap

[warrell harries]

You could use the select matcher which allows you to alter flow through the
pipeline based on a parameter value

Awesome. I was hoping it would be something simple like that.
You can use something like



The RequestModule is standard, and the NormalizePathInputModule comes from this 
project.
Doing this will make you project "relocatable" relative to the sitemap root.
This works in Cocoon 2.1, which for me is still preferable over 2.2 or 3.

It is good to see that people are still using Cocoon (2.1)!

Re: [2.1] cinclude using a pipeline as a generator source

[warrell harries]

Hi Chris

cocoon:// is understood as standard

Use :/ to go relative to the root

Xpath rules 😁
On 7 May 2016 12:12, "Christopher Schultz" 
wrote:

All,

I've got a Cocoon setup with a pipeline whose transformer contains
something like this:

  https://my-app/get-some-data"; />

Now, the URL included there is actually coming from Cocoon, and actually
I have a certificate that Java doesn't trust, so I get errors about PKI
certification paths. I can "easily" solve that (and have been for some
time, now) by specifying a truststore for the JVM process that contains
my server's TLS certificate in it.

I'd like to stop doing that for at least two reasons:

1. When my server certificate needs an update, I have to update my trust
store and bounce Cocoon
2. It could be more efficient (no loopback HTTP request, no TLS
handshake, etc.)

Does cinclude understand Cocoon-relative paths?

I'm looking for something like this:

  

Does something like that exist?

Re: Help needed moving from 2.1.11

[warrell harries]

Hi Peter,

I would recommend moving to 2.12 first (and probably staying there).

IMHO 2.2 isn't worth the candle and 3.0 misses the point of using Cocoon in
the first place.

I have a similar set-up as you although I use a blocks based build so that
my 'applications' are seperate from the core.

I would be happy to help subject to negotiation :)

Re: Migration from 2.1 to 2.2

[warrell harries]

Hi,

One reason that many Cocoon users have stayed with the 2.1x stream is that
some very useful blocks never made the transition to 2.2

Personally, the hassle of migrating to 2.2 was not worth the gains it
offered (Spring meh).

As we are all aware Web application development has evolved in many
directions since the birth of Cocoon in 1999. JQuery and AJAX has moved
much of the burden to the browser. Similarly, Node.js has made server side
development easier. I found a way to easily use Node.js apps as a way to
develop Cocoon 'generators' see
http://warrell.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/extending-life-of-my-cocoon.html

This provides more benefits to me than moving to 2.2 but, as they say, your
mileage may vary

Cheers

W

Hi Peter,

I can't say what your build problem is (except that the error message

you are still using Java 1.4. Is there a reason for not moving onto 1.7?

Re: Using Node.js as a Generator

[warrell harries]

Thanks Thorsten,

I experimented with your excellent JSSLT work and was impressed and very
tempted to try it out in production. However, I was short on time and
familiarity with Node.js so, to get up to speed, (and avoid abandoning the
good ship Cocoon) , I experimented with the little service in the post
after reading John Resig (the dude) at
http://ejohn.org/blog/node-js-stream-playground

All in all, the future of Node.js is assured and maybe it can help keep the
spirit and body of Cocoon alive.

All the best

Warrell

Using Node.js as a Generator

[warrell harries]

I have posted a simple way of using Node.js with Cocoon

http://warrell.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/extending-life-of-my-cocoon.html

I hope this may be of some help to anyone similarly minded,

Re: authentication framework

Hi Peter,

This is an action that should be declared in the root sitemap. Have you
built the war file with the authentication block enabled?

Re: Upgrade of HSSF to XSSF Excel serializer, anyone?

[warrell harries]

Hi Again,

I had a go at upgrading the serializer to XSSF  but there were simply too
many Java class changes for lazy old me. Instead, I had much better mileage
going down the OpenXML road and generating an .xlsx file in the Cocoon
pipeline (it is only a zipped up bunch of XML files after all).

All the files are fairly straightforward XML and it is only the packaging
that would be tricky but for the invaluable Zip serializer.

Inevitably, there is a lot of googling required to find examples but I
recommend
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brian_jones/archive/2007/05/29/simple-spreadsheetml-file-part-3-formatting.aspx

as a good place to start.

Cheers

Upgrade of HSSF to XSSF Excel serializer, anyone?

[warrell harries]

Hi Cocooners,

I have just run into the 65535 upper limit on the number of rows in an
Excel workbook as serialized using the gnumeric schema.

Of course, I tried substituting the latest poi-3.10 jar from the excellent
POI project for 3.0.2.jar that has worked well so far. Alas, some of the
methods no longer exist.

I was hoping somebody has done the hard-work necessary to upgrade the
serializer to the XSSF format. I would be very grateful if they could share
the code for 2.11

Thanks

Re: Accessing application/json message body of POST request

[warrell harries]

Hi Bardo,

The simplest way that I have found to handle json posts is to use the text
generator. Alternatively, you are free to write a json generator which
would convert json to xml as this is the default data format of  cocoon. I
have been successfuly using cocoon to handle json (the contemporary data
format of choice) for a few years now. Very recently I have been using
cocoon as middleware between a datasource and Cube. This Node.js app front
ends mongodb using json as the transport over http. Cocoon still rocks in
this new world. Please get in touch if there is anything I can help with.

Re: beginner q: possible to set extension .xsl as type='xslt' by default?

[warrell harries]

Hi,

Depending on your sitemap components set-up (see the top of the file
e.g. )
the default Transformer should be the XSLT one.

Try omitting the type altogether.

Remember that the Pipeline is key so don't try 'chaing' xslt from within
your .XSLT file.

Attaching the files to your question would help.

Warrell

Re: Setting URLConnection User-Agent String

[warrell harries]

Yep, do it in the setup

public void setup(SourceResolver resolver, Map objectModel, String src,
Parameters par) throws ProcessingException, SAXException, IOException
{
super.setup(resolver,objectModel,src,par);
try
{
Source inputSource = resolver.resolveURI(super.source);
this.source = inputSource.getURI();
}
catch(SourceException se)
{
throw SourceUtil.handle("Unable to Resolve " + super.source, se);
}
this.customHeader = par.getParameter(WORLD_LOGGER, new String());
this.httpClient = this.getHttpClient();
}

Re: Setting URLConnection User-Agent String

[warrell harries]

Hi Chris,

It doesn't make any difference - it's plain old HTTP despite the jargon :)

If you have already seen this
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@cocoon.apache.org/msg34182.html

then investigate the original Generator code at
/cocoon-2.1.11/src/blocks/proxy/java/org/apache/cocoon/generation/WebServiceProxyGenerator.java

It could be that this will be sufficient for your requirements.

Best regards,

Warrell

Re: Setting URLConnection User-Agent String

[warrell harries]

Please see recent discussion regarding proxying to another server. In brief,
I usually deploy a custom transformer based on the web service proxy
transformer but setting the user agent header before invoking the web
service.

Seems like this is a common requirement and it would be good if the desired
header could be passed in as a sitemap parameter to an existing component. I
am not aware of any existing component that provides this facility.

Re: Passing XML to webservice?

[warrell harries]

Thanks Andreas,

I would be interested in seeing what you did!

IIRC, I believe Alec needs HTTPS which I hope will be addressed using
research from here

Re: Support / Consultancy for our Cocoon 2.1.9 platform

[warrell harries]

Here is the reference to support my posting about your problem with using
the document function. My reply seems to have been delayed...

http://www.mail-archive.com/users@cocoon.apache.org/msg34182.html

Re: Re: Support & Traxtransformers

[warrell harries]

Hi Alec,

Having considered this issue my suggestion is to use a custom transformer
which invokes the external content provider with values from the pipeline
document and sets the user agent header from the orginal request. The
response from the external request is then aggregated or replaces the
document in the pipeline.

I developed such a custom transformer for testing and using SOAP services.
In such a scenario the transformer has to set the outgoing HTTP request with
the value of the desired SOAP action instead of the user agent.

I will post the code asap although I have an idea that I put it on this list
some 4 years ago.

Hope this helps,

Warrell

Re: Calling LaTeX from within Cocoon

[warrell harries]

Definitely possible. You could have a look at the FINS project as a good
example of how to to this sort of thing. In that case they use XML as an
interface to JFreeChart.

You can write a custom serializer and/or transformer. Of course the
preferred way is to use XSL:FO and a number of people have interfaced the
latest release of the Apache FO project with current version of Cocoon.

Re: File upload without "full" form submit.

[warrell harries]

Hi Tomek,

To do this sort of thing I sometimes use bad old showModalDialog and attach
this to a button onclick event. This function is supported by Firefox and IE
and doesn't trigger the submit of a Cocoon form.

Nasty, but it works for intranets...

Re: Starting out with Cocoon 2.2

[warrell harries]

IMHO, developers tend to mirror the general population in that the majority
follow the herd. The habits of imperative Java programming and the
not-invented-here syndrome meant that Cocoon was only ever going to appeal
to a minority of enlightened developers.

Maven is a head f&*ck for the average Joe and so perhaps Cocoon 2.2 is a
bridge too far. The paradigm shift to XML pipelines is enough to cope with.
I'm still working with 2.11 and it works fine for me.

Re: PDF export using cocoon

[warrell harries]

Of course, that is the beauty of Cocoon. However, the content that will form
the PDF document has to pass through the the Cocoon pipelines as XML. If the
Cocoon pipeline that is invoked via the Cocoon url were to treat the Ruby
app as a source for that content then that Content could be transformed
within Cocoon to XML and serailized as a PDF but somewhere along the
line the developer would have to use XML.

Re: Stand alone Cocoon

[warrell harries]

I haven't looked at version 3.0 but I have done just what you describe using
2.1x and the CLI technique. Have you looked at the process for packaging
Coccon as an offline application. There is some recent comment on the
mailing list about it and thre is plenty of material on the web. Enjoy - it
is very impressive when you get it working :)

Re: Cocoon 2.1.11, Java 6 and Maven

[warrell harries]

One of the nice things about the Cocoon 2.1x line is that oldies like me can
just use a text editor and the command line. I never found Eclipse was worth
the hassle and I was never quite sure what was going on behind the scenes.
That risk can stifle progress and burn precious time when you start a new
job and your colleagues are wanting to see some results of working on their
codebase. they probably aren't sure how things are set-up either and no-one
wants to look stupid by admitting their lack of knowledge. Sometimes the
niceties of your environment. have to take a back seat to getting a  simple
tool-chain in place.

No help here I'm afraid just the ramblings of an ageing hacker :)

Re: [2.2] map:generate where the source is an url

[warrell harries]

You can! Using different types of generators allow you to consume the
different styles of Web services. This is what makes Cocoon so good for
application development.
Google for some more info on how to do it. I remember writing a few
contributions with regard to version 2.1x

Re: mapping xml 2 java using cocoon (block)

[warrell harries]

Hi Robby,
Cocoon is about keeping your application model in XML and then transforming
this document model using Java components. It looks like you want to use it
the other way around. That is to say, you would get further with Cocoon if
you intend to transform Product XML elements to XHTML. Reading your
requirement it seems to me that you don't need your Java Product object as
you just need to use the File Generator to read your Product XML and then
you use this to transform to XHTML. If you need to add to the Product XML
you might need to employ some other Transformer or Pipeline but try and
forget about your Product Java object as it seems to be superfluous.

Hope this helps,

Warrell

Re: Inserting XML XMLDB

[warrell harries]

Hi Jose,

The way I do it is to have a stylesheet such as this :-

*
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>








http://apache.org/cocoon/xmldb/1.0";>


http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate";>









*

which will 'update' the changes collection by 'appending' a new note element
with the attributes set to the parameter values once its output document is
passed through the xmldb transformer, as you propose.

I hope this is enough info to get you going:)

Regards,

Warrell

ps BTW - if anyone has a need for a seasoned Cocoon/HIPPO/Java developer I
will be available soon!

Re: embedded xindice

[warrell harries]

Woops, my apologies, Vadim. Is this the code in Cocoon?

I was referring to the 2.1x distribution - I guess it hasn't made it to 2.2
yet

Re: embedded xindice

[warrell harries]

Hi,

>From the distribution have a look at
http://localhost:/samples/blocks/xmldb/welcome

There is enough there to get you started. As this is (I believe) the eXist
codebase you could check out that project site http://exist.sourceforge.net/

Re: External Entity in sitemap

[warrell harries]

Do you need to use the Servlet Service? I'm not fully up to speed on 2.2 yet
so I imagine you are using this as a datasource and you just want to add an
extra HTTP header. Can you use one of the Proxy generators instead? I have
some code for a SOAP Proxy Transformer or a Simple HTTP Proxy Transformer
that might fit the bill... I know it steps outside of the XML pluggable
ideal but it might be what you need if you could say a little bit more about
WHAT you are trying to achieve rather than just the HOW you are trying to do
it:)

All the George (best),

Warrell

Re: External Entity in sitemap

[warrell harries]

Hi Heather,

You should certainly follow the tutorial on how to use catalogs to make the
XML Entity known to Cocoon. This worked for me with some large DTDs that I
needed to make available to Cocoon 2.1x.

On the related question of how to get an XML fragment into your sitemap you
could invoke a matcher in another block with cocoon://block/matcher but this
would need to be used as the src for a generator or as part of an
aggregation at the generator stage and the matcher would have to serialize
xml at the end of its pipeline.

Hope this helps,

Warrell

Re: Query Database & Produce Excel Document

[warrell harries]

I have done exactly this (even under Cocoon CLI) but don't have the code to
hand. It's quite straightforward except that the sendmail transformer
invoked the pipeline to build the s/s which took so long that the sendmail
connection was dropped. To solve this I ran one CLI to build the s/s and
then scheduled the sendmail one an hour later.

I will dig out the code later.

Re: Strange XSLT transformer behaviour?

[warrell harries]

Hi Heather,

Remember that XSLT is a set of rules to apply to your input XML document.
You have defined a rule whose output will triggered when the root of your
input XML document Since all XML documents have a root then your template
will fire and output the HTML that you have defined.

No odd behaviour there. Think declaratively (pull) rather than procedurally
(push).

Warrell

Re: SQL-Transformer: SQL query with multiple statements

[warrell harries]

Surely you are joking Dr Feynman! Apologies to the great man
http://www.gorgorat.com/

What about :-

SELECT person_id, age FROM persons  WHERE person_id between $id and $id +
1000

Alternatively, depending on which DBMS and to give you more flexibility put
your SQL in a stored proc and call that

SQL is a very powerful declarative set calculus. Don't underestimate it's
value ;-)

Re: Securing JDBC credentials that are stored in cocoon.xconf

[warrell harries]

If you are running under a J2EE App server you can use JNDI to get these
credentials from your application server context manager. I have had to do
this for WebSphere and Tomcat deployments. Probably a bit easier than
changing Java code.

Are you running under the Jetty server?

There is documentation about how to do this but if you need some advice do
give a shout.

Re: Export database to XML file

[warrell harries]

Hi,

Have you put the JDBC Driver in the CLI config file?

You would have put it in the web.xml but as this is not used in the CLI you
need to put it in there too. I know this is documented somewhere and it may
be the cause of your problem.

Here's hoping...

Re: Export database to XML file

[warrell harries]

No problem?

First use the Web App version to develop your core pipelines then look at
the CLI documentation, write your XSLT and SQLTransformer Query and let your
config generate the responses to a file.

Give it a go and when you have a specific problem the members of this list
will come to your aid.

Re: Starting with Cocoon

[warrell harries]

You can build a deployable war file by building to the target war. I believe
this is documented but, as with all things open-source, you have to be
prepared to dig around until you find the way.

The simplest way to get your head around Cocoon is to use the Jetty based
distribution until you understand the Cocoon paradigm.

BTW, from the tone of your emails it is as if you think that the Cocoon
community is obliged to guide you every step of the way. It would be great
if there were enough resources to do this but time and skills are always in
demand and limited supply. I cannot speak for the many talented and
dedicated people that have built and continue to improve this project,
however, I rather expect that the concensus of their thoughts would be that
you should be prepared to put in a little more effort yourself before trying
to cajole trivial help from the community.

Re: Starting with Cocoon

[warrell harries]

Forgive me, I'm assuming you have read the INSTALL.TXT in the
2.1.10distrubition. For convenience I enclose it here




  +-+
  | I  N  S  T  A  L  L |
  +-+


  Let me guess: you don't like to read verbose docs, right?

  Great, this file is for you.

 1) Unpack the distribution

  Obviously you've done this already, but if you got errors when unpacking
  the archive with tar, you might need to use gnutar instead. Our archives
  contain long paths and filenames which cause problems with some versions
  of the tar command.

 2) Set your JAVA_HOME environment

  You have to set your JAVA_HOME environment to point to the root directory
of
  the Java Virtual Machine (JDK 1.3.x or later) installed on your machine.

  To do this simply type:

[unix] JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java/
[win32] SET JAVA_HOME=c:\path\to\java

  your mileage may vary depending on your shell, but you know how to setup
  environments, right?

  If you're using JDK 1.3.x, you have to exclude the JCR block before
building
  Cocoon. Have a look at the "Choosing the blocks" section below on how to
  exculude a block. Please note that some samples require JDK 1.4 or above.

 3) Build Cocoon by typing "build" or "./build.sh"

 4) Run Cocoon by typing "cocoon" or "./cocoon.sh"

 5) Open http://localhost:/ with your browser


That's it!


Now, you have two choices:

  a) close this file and try to hack something out by yourself

  b) keep reading

Go ahead and choose option a), but don't complain if you can't figure out
how
to use the cocoon build system for your needs.



Still here? good. You won't regret it.


Updating


If you are updating from a previous release of Cocoon, make sure
that you read the installation instructions on updating first.


Choosing the blocks
---

Cocoon is composed by its 'core' and several 'blocks'.

The core (a.k.a. naked cocoon') contains the system with services that
are needed to all cocoon users. Blocks provide services that you might not
need,
therefore the build system allows you to remove them from the build.

Now, do the following steps to configure the blocks you want in your cocoon:

 1) cp blocks.properties local.blocks.properties
 2) edit local.blocks.properties
 3) rebuild (do a "build clean" first if you deactivated some blocks)

do not modify blocks.properties directly!


Tuning the build


Ok, now that you told the build system what services you want assembled
into your distribution, you can tune the build for your personal needs:

 1) cp build.properties local.build.properties
 2) edit local.build.properties

do not modify build.properties directly!

An example of a local.build.properties is the following:

  compiler=jikes
  compiler.debug=off
  build.webapp=/path/to/where/to/build/the/webapp

where you override default compilation parameters and tell the build system
where to place the generated cocoon webapp. Look into build.properties to
find
out what you might want to modify for your own personal needs.


Running Cocoon as a servlet
---

When you do 'cocoon servlet', the servlet container (jetty) is started and
Cocoon
loaded into it. By default, this is attached to port , but you can
change
this by setting the "JETTY_PORT" environment property before launching
cocoon.

Other properties that you can change are:

 JETTY_ADMIN_PORT (defaults to 8889): is the port where the jetty web
 administration is connected to. This is available when you launch
 "cocoon servlet-admin", otherwise its disabled.

 JETTY_WEBAPP (defaults to build/webapp): is the location of the webapp
 that jetty has to execute. modify this to match your
local.build.properties
 if you modified where the build system creates your webapp

 JAVA_DEBUG_PORT (defaults to 8000): is the port where the JVM over-the-wire
 debug interface connects to. This is available only if you launch
 "cocoon servlet-debug", otherwise is disabled. This is used by remote
 debuggers (for example, Eclipse's).


Note that the "standalone-demo" build target prepares a directory that you
can
move elsewhere to run "cocoon servlet" outside of the build tree.



All right, that's it for now.

Happy hacking with Cocoon.

Re: Starting with Cocoon

[warrell harries]

Hi,

Have you followed the threads in the 2.10 release e.g.
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/howto/howto-explore-samples.html

One of the advantages of Cocoon is that you do not need to get involved in
the Cocon servlet e.g. web.xml or the conventional configuration  e.g.
cocoon.xconf. You only need concern yourself with your 'block' sitemap. Have
a look at a simple sample e.g. the Hello World example or the request
Generator and you will have an ah-ha moment.

Please put in the effort and you will be rewarded ;-)

Hi Jean-Claude,

What generator are you using in your pipeline match? Can you show us the
sitemap? You would need to use the Request generator or another one that
'loads' the pipeline with the contents of the HTTP Request.

Re: CInclude POST (by Payload)

[warrell harries]

Hi Andrew,

I had a similar need for this sort of component when invoking SOAP Web
Services from Cocoon. I took the WebServiceProxyGenerator code and adapted
it to be a Transformer. I had to change one of the headers to include the
SOAP method but apart from that it is pretty much unchanged. Please find the
code attached.

The pipeline that uses this transformer would contain the XML that you want
to send to your Service; the Transformer will send it and return to the
pipeline the response from the Service.

I hope this is what you were looking for.

Re: Novice question

[warrell harries]

Hi,

This request is somewhat vague. Cocoon is designed to process XML. I would
suggest keeping your XML and using the the XSL and SQLTransformers to update
the database and possibly write your own Custom transformer to implement
whatever behaviour you require to be triggered. However, you are likely to
find that using existing components will do what you require. We can't be
sure unless you are more explicit in your requirements.

This shouldn't be a problem 'cause the default namespace for

Fwd: jTDS Sybase Result Set from Stored Procedure call

Subject: jTDS Sybase Result Set from Stored Procedure call

Hi,

Has anyone had this problem (and found a solution)?

I'm using the trusty SQLTransformer on Cocoon 2.10 and jTDS 1.2.1 against
Sybase ASA 12.50

When invoking Sybase stored procedures I don't get the ResultSet back as I
would expect (I don't get them at all). There is a some discussion about
calling getMoreResults() but I don't want to modify the SQLTransformer
unless absolutely necessary. Executing ad-hoc SQL is fine and I haven't had
any trouble with invoking Oracle Stored procs that return ResultSets as
Output parameters.

Has anyone overcome this problem?

Any help very much appreciated,

The answet to that one is - it all depends.. on which Application
Container, DBMS and JDBC driver you are using.

It is good that you have discovered that you can do so much with the
SQLTransformer. As you know, I am very fond of using this component. I have
no qualms about generating  elements based upon the shape of the
XML DOM. As an example of how shameless I can be, I have even been known to

of using the Cocoon pipeline as the Model which transforms into the View as
it's contents pass through it. The alternative of a stored procedure was not
available and, as you know, I am reluctant to incur the development and
maintenance overhead that some kind of Java object/relation model would
require.

By the way, for the sake of completeness, who or what is responsible for
caching the statements?  The JDBC connector?  The database process?

How does one check that it is actually caching anything, except by crude
benchmarking?

The answet to that one is - it all depends.. on which Application Container,

XML DOM. As an example of how shameless I can be, I have even been known to
take the Calendar generator DOM and for each working day element generate a
 to determine whether appointment entries exist in a database for
this day. The performance was fine and the solution very comprehensible and
easy to extend. Of course, the purist might cry foul but I see nothing
fundamentally wrong with it. I recommend this as a perfectly acceptable way
of using the Cocoon pipeline as the Model which transforms into the View as
it's contents pass through it. The alternative of a stored procedure was not
available and, as you know, I am reluctant to incur the development and
maintenance overhead that some kind of Java object/relation model would
require.

By the way, for the sake of completeness, who or what is responsible for
caching the statements?  The JDBC connector?  The database process?

How does one check that it is actually caching anything, except by crude
benchmarking?

Hi Ard,

I understand your comic sarcasm and I think I know where you are coming
from ;-) In the final analysis, it seems to depend on where you place the
centre of gravity of your application at the o! utset. If you start building
an Object based system and then add persistence you are probably always
going to have to write business logic in Java and use an OR framework to map
this onto a a relational DB. However, most Enterprise systems start with an
ER Model . Various hybrid systems grow around the central DB so it makes
sense to gravitate toward the Enterprise DB for all sorts of engineering and
political reasons. One size does not fit all and in the world of CMS I can
imagine that your approach works for you and your customers. I was just
trying to advise those (possibly the majority0 of Cocoon developers who are
trying to develop relatively small internal Web-applications that work with
Enterprise data. For that kind of thing I endorse the SQLTransformer, JDBI,
FlowScript approach.

I can hardly believe everybody seems to take this statement for granted
(jdo and jcr APIs are ofcourse totally redundant since you can write your
own fine sql statements, and of course, sql is a brilliant strong
specification, so when you have it running for oracle, you can switch

if everybody wants to write sql, do many xsl transformations and take the

Re: Cocoon database access strategy

[warrell harries]

Hi Derek,Ard and Rob,

This is an interesting thread because it touches on the received wisdom that
'business-logic' belongs in Java classes. This is even promoted on the
web-site under the XSLT FAQ.

At the risk of being heretical, I'm not sure that is something I believe in
any longer (or have done for many years). These days, Business
logic(whatever that is) is usually managed by some implementation of a
pattern e.g. Workflow or a Domain Specific Language. If a Relational DBMS is
at the heart of the system then most of the non-process business logic will
(or should) be inherent in the entity relationship physical model. Therefore
the web-application that Cocoon is being used for is likely to be concerned
mostly with handling the View and Controller components of the MVC pattern.
The pipeline is an implementation of a use-case and the aggregation,
transformation and serialization of XML throughout the life of that
interaction is the realisation of the Process associated with the
interaction (use-case). Personally, I don't have a problem implementing this
with SQL and XSLT.  IMHO these are the best supported mainstream Declarative
languages  (if the underlying documents are properly normalized that is) and
so should be understood by anyone involved in the application development or
maintenance (if only it were so).

I have found that bias towards putting 'business logic' in Java classes
usually comes from those who perhaps do not fully grasp the power of the
relational model and SQL as a Set calculus. Their preference for imperative
programming seems to stem from the very human urge to be in full control of
the environment and to stick with familiar constructs and tools. This leads
to start writing code before the problem is fully understood and a
reluctance to refactor once it is. These are the very tendencies that Cocoon
allows us to overcome because it is entirely possible to develop fully
fledged applications without writing any Java code. These 'pure' XML
applications are likely to be much more maintainable, flexible and capable
of re-use than those that skew their centre of gravity back towards Java.

I too have a copy of the "Cocoon developers handbook"; it occupies
a nice niche on my bookshelf. :-)

Unfortunately, Cocoon is a live framework, not a static language.
The handbook was published in 2003, which means it was probably
written in 2002 ie. 5 years ago.  If, according to a popular
reckoning,
one month of "Internet time" equals three months of "real time",
then the book is 15 years old!  Things move on - fast - during that
time.

More especially, there was a lot of development around the use of
flow and JXtemplates, effectively replacing XSP as the preferred
way for "scripting logic" (of course, be aware that "serious"
Cocoon developers will insist that ALL logic belongs in Java classes).

Suggest you look at newer version of Cocoon, and the samples,
(eg. the "Easy SQL database access" sample in blocks/forms)
as well as some of the more recent documents on the above topics.
This comes up a lot on the mailing list too!

XSP's deprecated ?
I recently red a book "Cocoon developers handbook"  where esql embedded

in xsp's
is teached...

I am astonished about the rapid deprecation of cocoon 'techniques' , I

think I can better
fallback to C, xsltproc and some scripting glue logic :-)

So where do I put my esql now?

Hi,

Does the database you are using support stored procedures (even MySql
now
does)? If so, write the complex SQL as a strored procedure and then
execute
the stored procedure from the SQLTransformer, possibly using the
ancestor
construct that the SQLTransformer has specifically to support nested
Queries.

Personally, I don't see a problem with doing some XSL transformation
after
one query before doing another based on the output DOM; this is what XML
pipelines are all about. Perhaps you are not very familiar with XSL.
Invest
some time and you will be rewarded!

XSL and Database Actions are deprecated so I would recommend the
pipeline
approach as you will end up with a more maintainable and extensible
solution
because you will seperate the concerns.

Re: DB access without Tomcat

Hi Mauro,

Yes, it's quite possible. I have done it for DB2 which was a bit of a
challenge as I recall. Remember to put the JDBC Driver classes into the
web.xml - there may be one or two other things, perhaps in the .conf file
that you use for the CLI approach, but it does work. I've had some great
results doing reporting/charting that way. As usual, be prepared to google
around and you will get it to work eventually,

Keep the faith,

Re: Installing cocoon2.1.9 on WSAD5.1

[Warrell Harries]

Hi Sharda,The simplest way is to build the WAR file as in the INSTALL.TXT and import this into WSAD.You may be better off not bothering with WSAD as the whole point of Cocoon is that you can build fully featured applications without having to develop Java code as you can link components in a pipeline of functionality with XML alone. For this you don't need an IDE. Have a crack at that so that you understand what Cocoon is before trying to use the (marginal) benefits of an IDE,RegardsWarrell- Original Message From: sharda choudhary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Cc: users@cocoon.apache.orgSent: Wednesday, 24 May, 2006 11:43:03 AMSubject:

Re: User Management Application in Cocoon, maybe based on CForms

[Warrell . Harries]

Hi Torsten,

I had this challenge and implemented
a solution using the LDAPTransformer, CForms with AJAX and a few custom
Transformers that talk to the Novell opens-source LDAP library. I used
the LDAPTransformer to do simple queries and the Novell library to add
and delete users from predefined groups. It's not entirely what you describe
(does not plug into the authentication framework for instance) but is suitable
for asset control people to provision and deprovision systems. You might
find the Custom Transformer source useful if you want it.

User Management Application in Cocoon,
maybe based on CForms








Dear List!

Does anyone know of a Cocoon application which managed user objects (and

possibly roles and some custom attributes) which are part of an LDAP tree?

I would be looking for something which I can pass a certain LDAP 
context. It should list all user objects found in that context and 
provide functionality to add and edit users and assign them roles?

Shouldn't that be something which a lot of people who have been 
developing all kinds of CMS and portals based on Cocoon had a need for

before? Or am I just missing the obvious?

Just to make it clear: I have understood how to use LDAP and the Cocoon

authentication framework. This is not my question. I am talking about a

(cuszomizable, maybe embeddable) UI!

Torsten

Re: cocoon 2.1.8 PortalEngine obtaining User/Group Info in the Sitemap

[Warrell . Harries]

Thanks Jens,

I have been struggling to find out how
to get this vital nugget of info. I have to admit to be rather bewildered
by the Portal framework and have been clinging to the insight available
from postings like yours.

Any other useful pointers would be much
appreciated as the complexity of this component can put off prospective
users. You are probably aware that the userManagement tools are broken
in 2.1.8/9  The flow script falls over since it can't get hold of
the Cocoon component that has the User data in it. Not surprising since
this seems to have changed significantly when Carsten slipped in the CoWarp
stuff!

Anyway, thanks again, at least I can
now do :-

java.lang.System.err.println("UserId="+cocoon.parameters["user"]);

from some flowscript kicked off from
the portal page. Getting my head around portlets and coplets and events
will take a while but I'm sure it will be worth it.

Re: cocoon

[Warrell . Harries]

We had a problem with very poor performance
under a similar WebSphere  configuration (not with Cocoon but a Xalan
intensive app) that turned out to be a bug in the IBM JDK 1.4 implementation
of StringBuffer. I'm not sure of the details but upgrading the JDK fixed
it. It might be worth rebuilding Cocoon with the latest IBM JDK and upgrading
the servlet container JDK too.

I'm sorry I can't be more specific but
this might point you in the right direction.

Re: Question on using CForms with XSLT and aggregation

[Warrell . Harries]

Hi,

I followed the tutorial at http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/flow/tutor.html

As I understand it, you should introduce
a _javascript_ function :-

function whatever()
{

.

  cocoon.sendPage("success.jx", {"random" : random,
"guess" : guess, "guesses" : guesses} );
}

which calls sendPage with the variables you want.
It seems to me that you are bypassing this crucial stage by intercepting
the continuation in your pipeline e.g :-

  
    

  


This seems to be the real value of using continuations
because all of your form flow can now be managed in a single simple _javascript_
source file rather than dispersed throughout your xhtml and sitemap.

I think if you take a look at the tutorial and use
the sendPage stuff you should be OK,

Regards

Question on using CForms with XSLT and
aggregation








Hi,

I'm hoping someone can set me straight on this. I must be missing a
crucial concept in getting this to work.

My question is eventually going to be:
    Any idea on how to get the continuation to pass through an
XSLT?

I've had applications working for the last few years that use Cocoon
Aggregation and XSLT. Recently I updated to Cocoon 2.1.8 and moved all
of them from JSP to XSP.

I'm working on processing Forms using the CForms Jx toolkit. So far
so good. I've got the form validating and changing state, etc.

Now I want to run the Jx output through the existing XSLT pipeline to
integrate it into our application. I've figured out how to get the
initial form through the pipeline, but when I applied the same pattern
to the continuation, I get an error.

Here's a fragment of my sitemap.xmap:

== START ==






  
  

  



  
    

  







  
    
      
      
    

    
    
      
    

    
  



  
    
      
      
    

    
    
      
    

    
  


== END ==

When I hit the URL:
    http://.../DebugForm/OrderCulture.frm
I get exactly what I want and the output passed through the XSLT pipeline.

When I press the Submit button on that form, it generates a URL along this
pattern:
    http://.../DebugForm/557e6250263d345a505a514e5b426a7944343600.continue

Which gets picked up by the *.continue aggregator, but then fails
in the internal continue-pipe pipeline with an
Invalid Continue ID error:
    org.apache.cocoon.components.flow.InvalidContinuationException:
The continuation ID 557e6250263d345a505a514e5b426a7944343600.continue is
invalid.

Any idea on how to get the continuation to pass through an XSLT?

Re: Handling SQL Transformer exceptions

[Warrell . Harries]

Yikes,

I don't use Actions and prefer custom
transformers so that the 'pipeline' model remains relatively straightforward.
Consequently, I was assuming this was a part of  a matcher pipeline
e.g.


        
        
         
      
         
      
        
           

         
      
        
        


Clearly, you have the support job from
hell! And it is looking that your difficulties are beyond the scope of
this mailing list. Are you in the UK?

Try producing a test matecer as above
and this might get you into the system such that you have a fighting chance
of maintaining it.

Good Luck

If you have not output this from your XSL setup stage prior to the SQLTransform
stage you cannot trigger on it.  It might be worth taking some time
to 'get your head around' the declarative nature of  XSLT and the
way that Cocoon pipelines work. 

The best way to do this is have a look at the content of the pipeline at
each stage by defining a view. You can pass in a parameter from your URL
to make Cocoon halt pipeline processing at any stage and render the pipeline
contents back to the browser. This is how most people debug their pipelines
and is invaluable during development. If you don't know how to define a
view just serialize the output after the SQLTransform as type="xml"
and look at the content. 

Then have a look at how the default system stylesheet transforms errors
into html. You can find the file at build\ webapp\ stylesheets\ system\
error2html.xslt 

Hope this helps and you don't abandon Cocoon because it takes a declarative,
separation of concerns approach which is orthogonal (at right angles) to
the more common imperative one.

Re: Handling SQL Transformer exceptions

[Warrell . Harries]

Hi Oleg,

Thanks for clearing that up. Have you
put that error-handling code in the stage of the pipeline that follows
the SQL transform? The XML document after your SQLTrnsformer stage will
consist of Error elements so you will have to provide templates for them
if you want to handle them. That is, if the XSL that outputs the 
elements is in query.xsl then the error handling should be in process.xsl

        
        
         
      
        
        

Of course, you will also provide templates
for the  elements generated when there are no errors!

Hope this helps

Re: Handling SQL Transformer exceptions








Warrell,

>I don't think that you can call this a 'bug in Cocoon'!
I meant, a bug in my app (DB problem is not shown to the user and not handled,
just fails to insert and let user guess what happened). 
 I use Cocoon 2.0.4, not 2.1. Would it mean any difference for handling
SQLTransformer exceptions ?
 
Thank you,
Oleg.

Hi Oleg, 

I don't think that you can call this a 'bug in Cocoon'! Do you really mean
a Cocoon 2.0 version or just generally version 2 of Cocoon?


It seems you are building a generic DB query tool so I suppose the following
is not appropriate but I would argue that this is not the desired way to
use the SQLTransformer since the overall Application design should prevent
any constraints ever being violated. In my view, such Constraints are fundamental
rules that are there to define the parameters of the system and not just
as a last line of defence or for the creation of indexes. However,  to
handle such Processing Exceptions in Cocoon you should take a look at :-


http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/errorhandling.html


if, of course, you are using Cocoon 2.1.


Hope this helps

Handling SQL Transformer exceptions










Hi,

I am trying to fix the bug in the Cocoon 2.0 application:
- it is not handling exceptions from SQLTransformer in the GUI,
need to show user an error that Insert failed.

Here is an exception we often get:
ERROR   (2006-03-24) 15:29.31:855   [sitemap.transformer.sql]
(/myapp) Thread-11/SQLTransformer$Query: Caught a SQLException
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-1: unique constraint (MBRDEV.UKC_ASSOC_COT)
violated
   at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:134)

Here is a simplified version of my XSL:

   
       
modification
       
           
       
   



   
   
   
   
       
           insert into 
           
           .
       
   
   
   
     
       
           
           ERROR:
Can not insert the row into the database (not recorded)
               
   
   
   



Am I doing it right and in correct place ("This is the code...")
?

For some reason it doesn't seem to work (maybe that condition is false:
"count(//sql:error[1]) > 0"  ?)


Sorry for the newbie question. Any help is very appreciated.


Thank you in advance,
Oleg.
