thanx. I was able to write my own custom generator that works with static
data.
I however need my generate to generate an XML document based on the user's
input (form data). How can I pass and retrieve request parameters to and
from my generator (My generator extends the AbstractGenerator..is this what
i should be using?)
Attached is the source for my simple generator...
public class MyGenerator extends AbstractGenerator {
public void generate () throws IOException, SAXException,
ProcessingException {
RequestParameterModule requestData = new RequestParameterModule();
String message = "<doc>" + requestData.getAttribute + "</doc>";
XMLReader xmlreader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
xmlreader.setContentHandler(super.xmlConsumer);
InputSource source = new InputSource(new StringReader(message));
xmlreader.parse(source);
}
}

Subject: Re: Writing my own Producer to generate dynamic XML
The component you search for is "generator"
(http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/generators/generators.html).
There are already different technologies generating XML from DB
(http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/databases.html). Also
search on http://wiki.cocoondev.org/ for more information.
