hi everyone!
i've been struggling for a while to use exist, an excellent xml database
engine (http://exist-db.org), with lenya. both use and ship with their
own version of cocoon, which is the problem.
ideally, i want to use the cocoon build from lenya, but i would like to
extend it so that it will support the xmldb:exist:// pseudo protocol and
perhaps also the XMLDBTransformer. since both lenya and exist are very
actively developed and i want to track both developer trees closely,
this extension would have to happen inside the lenya/cocoon build process.
has anyone done this yet? or has anyone created their own cocoon blocks
with other 3rd party software?
I have a little experience with blocks (once I started to implement
a prototype of a new Lenya build process which converts modules to
blocks and uses the Cocoon build process to resolve dependencies,
compile and deploy them. But I'd defer it to a later release because
IMO there are more pressing issues than this for 1.4).
To create a block, you basically need
- a gump file which describes the block and its dependencies
- a patch file (local.blocks.*.xconf) which you drop in $COCOON_HOME
Unfortunately I couldn't find much documentation, but with the help
of the Cocoon build files and the mailing list archives it is possible
to find out how it works.
