Hi all, can you think of nice use cases for an integration of Cocoon into a native XML database system?
I've recently implemented a generic Generator which reads whole (shreddered) xml documents from the database system, am currently implementing a simple XPathTransformer which reads an attribute from an element "xpath", e.g.: <xpath expression="count(//text())"/> and an XQueryTransformer which does basically the same (but with XQuery). Furthermore I have integrated Saxon, but I'm not sure if it improves performance and is more scalable if I write an XSLT Transformer which uses the database internal tree structure instead of the TinyTree Saxon uses... I've currently another lecture, where we have to visualize flickr pictures in Google Earth, but I think that it's nothing, which can benefit from Cocoon, because it doesn't really make use of the advantages of pipelines or REST (we have had to aggregate the pictures and sort them according to views, sentiment and date -- to show only the "best" pictures (furthermore we implemented a grid/circle layout to prevent or reduce overlapping)). Can you maybe imagine some nice simple examples, which really make use of Cocoons strengths (I think it's still multichannel publishing/pipelines and hopefully REST with Cocoon3). Maybe a simple blog would be nice, what do you think? It could make use of the StringTemplate integration and of the controller, which should simplify the implementation of a RESTful blog. Next week I've got a short presentation of my milestone which integrates the above meantioned Generator and Transformers, but maybe you have also ideas for other "cool" transformers. greetings, Johannes --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
