Hi all,

I am using a WYSIWYG editor where a single user writes a small (X)HTML document that ultimately is stored in a XML database and is also send around by email as a newsletter. This all is connected to an email list. This is a very straightforward application. I made something before using regular forms (no XHTML content) where the submitted text was stored in a relational database (with Hibernate). The newsletter simply consisted of various sub topics.

In the case of the WYSIWYG editor, the only problem to solve is to preserve the '<' and '>' characters that are submitted to the server. For instance,

<strong> .. </strong>

is converted into a regular text according to

&lt;strong&gt; .. &lt;/strong&gt;

Capturing XHTML content via forms is something I have never done before (and is of course not specific to Cocoon). Basically, I guess, one would have to parse the text and store the result for instance in a DOM document which is subsequently stored in the XML database, right? Or is there is more simple or better solution, maybe cocoon can handle this already? It would very convenient for instance if one could get the form parameters as XHTML content (instead of string) and use jx to place it in a XML document which is send to the XML database. I tried this and this all is very easy to accomplish with Cocoon, except of course the issue with '<' and '>'.

Thanks for your help,
Andre
