Re: Newbie: Generating XML before rendering HTML

[Derek Hohls <DH...@csir.co.za>]

Its unusual to want to store a file before processing it;
perhaps you can expand more on this statement:

" I want to understand what is the content of the XML
being used , so that I can write my . xsl file correctly."

In the meantime, have a look at:
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/transformers/sourcewriting-transformer.html

(and note the warning at the end!)

Hi,

I have the sitemap.xmap configured as below.



What we are tyring to do is to get data from the database, store it
into
session and render it as HTML.



I would like to know how we can generate a  xml file to a local
directoy
before it gets rendered to the brower.

I need this , as I want to understand what is the content of the XML
being used , so that I can write my . xsl file correctly.



Would appreciate if some one can tell me how to achieve this or throw
some pointer to achieve the same.



Thanks in advance.

Have a nice day.

Regards,
