Re: parsing xml code [converting escaped tags?]

Hi Vlad, Derek, others,

I saw something like 'disable-output-escaping' in the XSL snippet in one of the earlier submits. Note that the output unescaping only occurs when the output is actually serialized. In other words, the unescaping is postponed until the file is actually written to file or serialized to a stream in the http respons (or else).

You could write the escaped fragment to file using the disable-output-escaping feature to get normal XML and reparse it as any other file source, but it might be easier to access you Cocoon site through HTTP again (from within your Cocoon site), to access the XML you desire so much...

<map:match pattern="unescape/**">
  <map:generate src="cocoon:/{1}"/>
  <map:transform src="unescape-xml.xsl" /> <!-- the original XSL? -->
  <map:serialize type="xml" />
</map:match>

<map:match pattern="get-unescaped/**"> <map:generate src="http:/{request:serverName}:{request:serverPort}{request:contextPath}{global:sitemapBaseURI}/unescape/{1}"/> <map:serialize type="xml" /> </map:match>

where sitemapBaseURI is defined as a local variable of the sitemap in which you put these pipes and which contains the path from webapp to the sitemap in URI terms...

Though, the best solution would actually be, _not_ to escape your XML code altogether. But I can't really tell how to do that.

Cheers,
Geert

I have never done this; I am still struggling with the htmlArea
component that is used with Cocoon forms... it saves all the
data as escaped tags (as per your example) and that makes
it impossible to post-process... what Cocoon needs is a transformer
that takes a file with escaped tags and converts them to valid XML.

Any takers to code this??

Derek,

that was very helpful. It would work if there wouldn't be one moment.
I
noticed that actually all the data in DB is in such format:

&lt;contact&gt;
 &lt;name&gt;Chris&lt;/name&gt;
 &lt;surname&gt;Lautre&lt;/surname&gt;
 &lt;address&gt;Plomipuu 16&lt;/address&gt;
 &lt;email&gt;[EMAIL PROTECTED]&lt;/email&gt;
 &lt;phone&gt;&lt;/phone&gt;
&lt;/contact&gt;

Is it possible to convert it to the normal tags and then apply your
method?

You may need to add in a namespace to the file below to
make it a valid XML file  e.g.

<pcomponentobjectOut
 xsi:type="ns2:DBConnection1_ComponentObjectUser"
 xmlns:xsi="http://apache.org/cocoon/xsi/1.0";>
...

Then the following works (under my Cocoon 2.1.5):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
 xmlns:xsi="http://apache.org/cocoon/xsi/1.0";
 >

<xsl:template match="pcomponentobjectOut">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="componentClob">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="contact">
 <xsl:value-of select="surname"/>,<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


HTH.

Hi All,

I have a web service, which returns me code like that:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

<pcomponentobjectOut


xsi:type="ns2:DBConnection1_ComponentObjectUser">

 <componentClob xsi:type="xsd:string"><contact> <name>Chris</name>

 <componentId xsi:type="xsd:decimal">97</componentId>

In xslt I need to parse componentClob and iterate through the


contact

tags.

That code gives me the content of the componentClob:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

-
<xsl:template match="*/return/pcomponentobjectOut">
 <xsl:value-of select="componentClob"


disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

</xsl:template>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was trying to iterate through the content of clob, but all was
vainly.
