Here is a snippet ... this is a method from an object
"ThesaurusBrowser". The method searches a number of terms from the
thesaurus, that, say, start with a given substring:
public void searchTerms(ContentHandler ch, byte[] nb, String language,
String smode, boolean nonpreferred)
{
AttributesImpl attr = new AttributesImpl();
int hits = 0;
ResultSet rs = null;
// here we are going to form a query and execute it.
rs = p.executeQuery();
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
while (rs.next()) {
hits++;
attr.addAttribute("","id","id","CDATA",rs.getString("id"));
if (nonpreferred)
attr.addAttribute("","npt","npt","CDATA","1");
ch.startElement("","term","term",attr);
attr.clear();
for (int i=1; i <= rsmd.getColumnCount(); i++) {
String tagname = rsmd.getColumnName(i);
ch.startElement("",tagname,tagname,attr);
String value = rs.getString(i);
if (value != null)
ch.characters(value.toCharArray(),0,value.length());
ch.endElement("",tagname,tagname);
}
ch.endElement("","term","term");
}
rs.close();
p.close();
}
------------------------------------------------
I just display the relevant part: This code produces XML
<term id="234" term="someterm" context="somecontext" nonPreferred="0"/>
...
Change it to an alternative that returns an array of Term
------------------------------------------------------
public Concept[] searchTerms(byte[]nb, String language, String smode,
boolean nonPreferred) {
int hits = 0;
ResultSet rs = null;
// here we are going to form a query and execute it.
rs = p.executeQuery();
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
Vector<Concept> VTerms = new Vector<Concept>();
while (rs.next()) {
hits++;
Concept T = new Concept T();
T.setId(rs.getInt(1));
T.setTerm(rs.getString(2));
T.setContext(rs.getString(3));
T.setNonPreferred(rs.getString(4));
VTerms.addElement(T);
}
rs.close();
p.close();
Concept[] concepts = new Concept[C.size()];
for (int j=0; j<C.size();j++) concepts[j] = (Concept)
VTerms.elementAt(j);
return concepts;
}
}
}
And you could then modify your Cocoon method to:
public void searchTerms(ContentHandler ch, byte[] nb, String language,
String smode, boolean nonpreferred)
{
Concept[] hits = searchTerms(nb, language, smode, nonpreferred);
AttributesImpl attr = new AttributesImpl();
for (hit : hits) {
attr.addAttribute( ... );
...
ch.startElement(""
attr.clear();
}
that way extending the use and insulating the SAX interface. One step
further is creating separate cocoon classes, that only do the SAX
production thus universalizing your business model.

Hi Paul,
Classes that live in a Cocoon environment will typically send their
output via SAX events. They would take a "ContentHandler" or
"XMLConsumer" as a parameter and call
startElement/endElement/characters.
There might exist an insulation layer between the SAX-world and the
objects properly.
If you extend these classes with methods that return objects, and arrays
of objects, they become available to other "Views".
Does this answer make sense to you?
Best,
Jos

Hi there,
What is the best way to make business functionality available in the
Java tier of my Cocoon application available available to another
application written in say ASP?
Is sharing Cocoon applications java tier functionality with other apps.
possible and are there any "easy" ways to do this?
thx.
Paul
