...My project manager would like to do a similar thing: to display
this web application in my portal without using Web Services but by
capturing the html stream and re-elaborating it in order to have an
url rewiting that can work under our portal..
This is certainly doable even without the portal stuff - and once it
runs outside of the portal it should run inside of it as well.
The HttpProxyGenerator or WebServiceProxyGenerator would help for the
proxying part (passing requests received by Cocoon to other back-end
systems), but AFAIK they expect well-formed XML responses.
So, if your backends return html, you might have to combine the
functionality of these generators with the html-parsing functionality
of the NekoHTMLGenerator, which can convert HTML to XML.
Unless there's a ready-made solution (I don't think so, but maybe
somebody has one) doing this will require some java skills to create
the interface components, but after that you'd be in a "normal"
pipeline environment.

I've been working on this same problem -- proxying requests (POST is the
troublesome one) while being able to handle non-well-formed XML
responses. I had searched for a ready-made solution for this in Cocoon,
and couldn't find one. Now I'm encouraged to hear from an expert like
Bertrand -- it's not just because I'm incompetent. :-)
Anyway, Angelo, if you come up with a solution, I would love to see it
too. Maybe it could be incorporated as an improvement to one of the
proxy generators into the standard Cocoon package.

Las
