Sorry but my question was incorrectly stated.
A standard pipeline with a transform and a serialise will take care of the problem I originally posted.
What Im wondering is if I need to do multiple transformations, ie transform an XML doc using two or more different XSLT docs. and then feed the results into various serialisers, how this is done?
What do you mean various serializers? You cannot send multiple responses back to a client. But if you want to be able to get the same page in different formats, you may want to use views (if I remember correctly):
<map:view from-label="pdf" name="pdf">
<map:transform src="stylesheets/page2pdf.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/>
</map:view>then in your pipe:
<map:match...
<map:sometransformer label="pdf"/> <!-- this label says, you can have another view behind me using the from-label -->
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
and call this with "myURL?cocoon-view=pdf" to get the pdf version. (look at http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/views.html for more info)
If you want to have some other pipeline executed eg: write some document to disk and send a reply with another pipe, you can use the following in your flow:
var pipelineUtil = cocoon.createObject(Packages.org.apache.cocoon.components.flow.util.PipelineUtil);
var document = pipelineUtil.processToDOM("mypipe", null);
(or processToSAX/processToStream)
cocoon.sendPage("otherpipe");
Is this what you're referring to? Or can you give a concrete example of what you're trying to do?
Kind Regards, Jan

Hello,
Im looking to chain a number of 'actions' together:
1. Transform an XML document using XSLT to get XSL:FO 2. Put this XSL:FO into FOP to get pdf.
Im new to Cocoon and whilst Ive read a fair bit of the documentation, I
havent been able to fathom what a pipeline for this would look like. Ive got an idea of how to create each one independantly but not sure how to
take the output of 1. and feed it into 2. on the fly.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Mark
