Hi guys,
I wrote a simple wiki page about creating and editing xml documents
using flow:
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/FlowBasedXMLEditor
I attached a little flowscript file which exposes most of the DOM api
calls in flow. It might be a little vague as it was written for an
application with a specific purpose and is in no way generic enough but
it will give you some clues about manipulating DOM objects in flow.
Regards,
Tony
