I did something similar. But I used Struts instead of a servlet. Struts is a servlet
too. My Struts application and cocoon are two parallel entries in tomcat's web apps.
Basically in your servlet you should forward it to a page like the following:
This page will not show in your browser. It is doing a submit to cocoon pipeline with
xml string as a form hidden field. Cocoon will take it just like the StreamGenerator
example and can do all kinds of things with it. In my case, I created an Excel
report, a rtf report and send email with rtf report as attachment.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: Example with StreamGenerator
Hello Upayavira,
what I need is to send a XML stream via POST from a Java servlet to
Cocoon in order to use the stream generator!
The XML stream is a String and I don't know what I have to do! Should I
append the string to the URL so that it looks like this:
localhost:8080/cocoon/test.xml<?xml version="1.0"><test></test> ????
Thanks in advance for any help
