CLI output file names

["Olson, Dave -Systems" <Da...@itt.com>]

When running Cocoon as a command line tool, how does Cocoon determine what
to name the resulting files?  I assume the URI you specify after the options
is matched by one of the matchers in the sitemap, and so I know where
processing starts, but since a serializer, when run as a web app, streams to
a servlet/browser, where does output go when using the CLI?

I've searched all the web links, books, FAQs and mailing lists, but I can
find very little on using the CLI.  I found an example in build.xml, but I
still don't understand how the output filenames are determined.  For
example, if I have a match element for "usersguide.fo" that passes it to the
fo2pdf serializer (FOP), how do I indicate the output PDF filename?  

puzzled,
DAvid Olson

The 2.0.4 CLI checks the mime type of the page, and derives the filename from the 
URI after ensuring that the file extension is correct. Thus, a text/html page called 'foo' 
would become foo.html.

The 2.1 CLI in CVS has functions to prevent this extension checking, which means 
that the resulting filename is the URI (less ? and # characters, etc). [it does still have 
one or two bugs to be ironed out, though].

See http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=CommandLine for more info.

The best way to handle filenames is to simply make the URI a valid filename, e.g. 
userguide.pdf, if you want to use the CLI.
