Your problem statement is not quite clear in this message;
perhaps you can indicate your overall program logic, showing
how data is handled and processed by the different parts of
Cocoon. You need to differentiate clearly between data
retrieval ('"raw" data); data alteration (eg. calculated values);
data manipulation (e.g. sorting) and data layout (order,
appearance etc.) This will help visualise alternatives.

Hi cocooners,
I'm using cocoon to creating html,pdf,xls and rtf reports.
I started using XSP/ESQL to connect directly to the datasource (mysql)
and merged the data with the layout of the report in the xsp page.
<map:match pattern="report/*.xml">
<map:generate src="report/{1}.xml" type="serverpages" />
<map:transform type="i18n" />
<map:transform src="stylesheets/doc2pdf.xsl" />
<map:serialize type="fo2pdf" />
</map:match>
Now the requirements have changed and the xml data comes from an other
provider. So I don't have to deal with the sql statement anymore, but
how can I merge the xml data with the layout of the report in the xsp
page. Formatting, filtering, grouping, calculations depend on the
provided data using xsp. How can use this approach without transfering
the logic to a xsl stylesheet.
I can't see any solution. Any idea appreciated.
