There are many ways to accomplish this but below a possible approach:
/**** Java Component to extract the filename **/
public interface FileNameExtractor {
public String getFileName(String id);
}
public class PrototypeFileNameExtractor implements FileNameExtractor {
public String getFileName(String id) {
//TODO extract the fileName from the xml file identifiable by {id} e.g.
}
}
/** flowscript function to generate the pdf **/
function generatePDF() {
var id = cocoon.parameters.id;
var fileName = cocoon.getComponent('fileNameExtractor').getFileName(id);
var response = cocoon.response;
response.setHeader(
"Content-Disposition",
"attachment; filename=" + fileName + ".pdf"
);
cocoon.sendPage('source2pdf/' + id);
}
Sitemap:
----------
<!--
{1} id: unique identifier for the source xml used to generate the PDF
-->
<map:match pattern="generatePdf/*">
<map:call function="generatePDF">
<map:parameter name="id" value="{1}"/>
</map:call>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="source2pdf/*">
<map:generate src="source/{1}.xml"/> <!-- assume our sources are located in
source folder -->
<map:transform src="xslt/source2poi.xslt"/>
<map:serialize type="pdf"/>
</map:match>

Subject: [C2.2] Get Element from uploaded file
Hi there,
I do some xml -> pdf transformation using Coocon 2.2 and fop. My output file
name must contain a string that's in a certain element of my uploaded file.
I wonder how to access my uploaded file to extract the values?
Do I need to access it via control flow?
Is there something like a XPath evaluator?
Matthias
