Re: help with "Included Logicsheet" and pipeline

Perhaps David Parry can be of some service? Thanks, Steve Switzer.

With Cocoon 2 you can't generate XSP code and then execute it. I thought the <?cocoon-process?> tag looked a little fishy.  I'll take it out, and the resulting xsl will look like: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsp="http://www.apache.org/1999/XSP/Core"> <xsl:template match="test"> <xsp:logic> System.out.println("<xsl:apply-templates/>"); </xsp:logic> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> When I call the URL, the result back at the client is now: <xsp:logic xmlns:xsp="http://www.apache.org/1999/XSP/Core"> System.out.println("hello world"); </xsp:logic> I'm not sure that I understand your point that I can't "generate XSP code and then execute it". Isn't that what XSP code is for? Oh... maybe I do get it. You can execute XSP code that you have written, but you can't execute XSP code that is generated. Then what's the point of the examples I found at the 2 URL's listed below? http://www.suranyami.com/XSPtutorial/ says: Included logicsheetThis is a much more preferable way to be working, whereby parts of the original XML document that are matched by the stylesheet are replaced with sections of logic code. In this scenario, an XSP page is generated from the original XML page, rather than the original XML page BEING an XSP page.This is an example of a "logicsheet". The original XML file's elements are replaced with pieces of logic (or plain ole XML, as needed). The transformation is done by an XSL stylesheet, the results of which are pieces of XSP logic or expressions.In the diagram we see that the <item/> element will be substituted with the contents of the <template match="item></template> element. In this case, it's an <xsp:expr></xsp:expr> element which will presumably contain some kind of Java code, which, when executed will insert a text node into the XML result tree.More importantly than the specific contents of the page, once again it is important that the root element of the resulting XSP page is an <xsp:page> element. By this stage, the result of this transformation (produced by the logicsheet) is a canonical XSP page. This will then be "executed" and the result will be an XML page, with all the variable bits replaced with actual values. Once again, the XSL stylesheet transforms the final outcome into a HTML page.The diagram he refers to is _almost_ identical to the diagram given at the Included Logicsheet section of http://cocoon.apache.org/2.0/userdocs/concepts/#c2-abstractions Look at: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.0/userdocs/concepts/images/xsp-way2.gif and: http://www.suranyami.com/XSPtutorial/XSP2.gif I personally think the problem lies in my pipeline, but I don't know how to fix it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Switzer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 4:49 PM I'm trying to execute Java based on the contents of some xml-ized data. I found the "Included Logicsheet" notes at: http://www.suranyami.com/XSPtutorial/ and http://cocoon.apache.org/2.0/userdocs/concepts/#c2-abstractions My understanding is the data-XML gets transformed by the xsl into an xsp that will contain java logic. I'm not so interested in the XML produced by the xsp, but perhaps I could use serialize it as html. Here's my problem -- the 2 examples I've seen look so simple, but I can only get serialized XSP, i.e., with no executed java. Let me give you the file contents: (http request: http://ourtomcatserver.foo.com/cocoon/test ) ------------ sitemap.xmap: ... <map:match type="regexp" pattern="test"> <map:generate src=""/> <map:transform src=""/> <map:serialize/> </map:match> ... ------------ test.xml: <test>hello world</test> ------------ test.xsl: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsp="http://www.apache.org/1999/XSP/Core"> <xsl:template match="test"> <xsl:processing-instruction name="cocoon-process">type="xsp"</xsl:processing-instruction> <xsp:logic> System.out.println("<xsl:apply-templates/>"); </xsp:logic> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> My client gets back: <?cocoon-process type="xsp"> <xsp:logic xmlns:xsp="http://www.apache.org/1999/XSP/Core"> System.out.println("hello world"); </xsp:logic> Which is really cool, considering that it's well set up xsp -- but it doesn't execute anything! Am I on the right track? My end result is that the xml-ized data gets put into java objects which I'll then pass on to a servlet.
