From form to XML, any suggestions?
I want to create xml from forms and after reading through cocoon, I came
up with a couple of ways (I'm new to cocoon). I'd like to hear if there
are other ways, or if some of you have experience doing this.
1) I could use the RequestGenerator to generate an xml with all the
values submitted from the form, and then use a custom xslt to change it
to the format of xml I want to use (for alter storage in xindice).
2) I could use XSP to create xml using the request parameters in the xml
(and then store it).
Are there any other ways to create xml from a form submission that can
then be written to flat file or a db?

What about the new ModuleSource
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=107358149204778&w=2)?
With something like <map:generate type="file"
src="module:request-param:xml-field"/> you have the XML in the pipe and
you don't need hand written Java or XSP code.

Brian,
This is correct, however if you want more advanced
form functionality (form generation, validation,
binding to java objects or xml, etc), you might want
to take a look at cocoon forms, also known as woody
block.
