Leszek Thanks for the detailed suggestion; I was hoping to avoid having to do any Java coding & was hoping there might be a more "standard" way of doing this .... if not, where is the best place to start learning how to code such a beast (the website has this page: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/actions.html which seems a little "rough" round the edges)? Thanks Derek

You are right. Flow mandates the used of cocoon.sendPage*. One quick solution though: Implement an action and then: <map:actions> <map:action src="o.a.c.acting.MyAction" name="myaction"/> </map:actions> <.../> <map:pipeline> <map:act type="myaction"/> <map:match .../> <map:match .../> </map:pipeline> myaction will be called before every match so it works much like a function call (no pipeline side effects). If you want your matches to work only if action succeed do it like this: <map:pipeline> <map:act type="myaction"> <map:match .../> <map:match .../> </map:act> <map:match ...when action failed.../> </map:pipeline> -- Leszek Gawron [EMAIL PROTECTED] IT Manager MobileBox sp. z o.o. +48 (61) 855 06 67 http://www.mobilebox.pl mobile: +48 (501) 720 812 fax: +48 (61) 853 29 65 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright, terms and conditions and e-mail legal notice.
