Hello

I need to retrieve a customer's well-formed XML document hosted on
it's own server, FTP protocol being the only available communication
channel. After being retrieved, I need to parse it, and store a few
nodes values into my database. Is there any builtin cocoon component
or flow snippet to help me achieve this ?

I was looking - wiki, docs, google, planetcocoon - for something like
"<map:generate src="ftp://login:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"><map:parameter
name="method" value="GET"/><map:parameter name="file"
value="foo.xml"/></map:generate>", but didn't find anything.


I don't think that any of the currently public available sources or generators supports FTP. If you need this feature you'll probably end up in writing your own FTP source. If so have a look at http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/.

Wrong. There is an FTP source within Excalibur, called org.apache.excalibur.source.impl.FTPSource. This class is already included within the Excalibur in Cocoon. All you need to do is add an entry to your cocoon.xconf file to specify the FTPSourceFactory, along the same lines as other source factories.

Telescopic answer, I know, but I hope it helps.
