RE: JavaScript problems in XSP
Hi Anna,
Client-side (in your web browser) JavaScript is a completely different
beast than server-side (on your web server) JavaScript. In server-side
JavaScript, there are no windows, DHTML, or much any other properties or
methods you would use to manipulate a browser for dynamic content.
To use Cocoon to achieve your task, the first step would to define
"given-file.html" in your sitemap, and make sure its serialized in
well-formed XHTML. Then you could use the Cinclude transformer to
import given-file.html, kind of like this (myfile.xsp):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsp:page language="java" xmlns:xsp=http://apache.org/xsp>
<page xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0">
<p>
<cinclude:include src="cocoon:/given-file.html" />
</p>
</page>
</xsp:page>
and in your sitemap.xmap:
<map:match pattern="given-file.html">
<map:generate type="serverpages" src="docs/given-file.xsp" />
<map:transform src="stylesheets/given-file.xsl" />
<map:serialize type="xhtml"/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="myfile.xsl">
<map:generate type="serverpages" src="docs/myfile.xsp" />
<map:transform type="cinclude"/>
<map:transform src="stylesheets/myfile.xsl" />
<map:serialize />
</map:match>

Subject: Javascript problems in XSP
Hi All.
This is my first post, so don't be angry with me if I do something
wrong.
I am using XSP on Cocoon 2.0.3, and I want to do the following:
given a name of the html file that contains javascript, I want to get
the result of this javascript and
put it inside some element in XSP. But when I write the following code
in XSP using javascript:
<p>
<xsp:logic>
var js = window.open("given-file.html");
var result = js.document.body.innerHTML;
</xsp:logic>
<xsp:expr>result</xsp:expr>
</p>
nothing happens (even doesn't give any error).
If I am using this code inside an html file's script tag, it works fine.
If I am trying some simple Javascript functions in XSP (e.g. Date()), it
works.
Maybe there is some problem with opening files in XSP?
Can somebody please tell me what am I doing wrong and how can I get the
result of javascript code executed in some given file?
Thank you very much in advance.
Anna

You just need examples of java using rhino. I was
recommending changing to regular java xsp. You'll
need to use <xsp:structure> and <xsp:include> to make
sure the rhino classes you need are available in your
xsp and then later on in <xsp:logic> you can do
anything you would in a normal java class (because
when cocoon is done with your xsp file, it _will_ be a
normal java class. If you haven't gone to look for
the .java source files that cocoon generates out of
your xsp (probably under tomcat's work/ directory) you
really should. It would take some of the mystery out
of xsp. Rhino is a javascript interpreter/engine
(whatever). So within your xsp now written in java,
you'll retrieve your html page, pass on any regular
tags, and then pass the contents of the script tags to
the rhino instance. To be very clear: I have no idea
if this is feasible and if you're not very comfortable
in java, the chances are slim you'll get this working
without more help than I or probably anyone else on
the list can provide. I'm just suggesting an avenue
to try.

I highly doubt that any examples exist of doing
exactly what you are trying.

They do - what they're talking about is xsp-js though.
I'm suggesting you abandon xsp-js because of some of
the other things you need to do, and call the same
java-based javascript interpreter directly from your
java class (which xsp just helps you create.)

That's happening automatically when you declare that
your xsp's are written in javascript. But you
probably don't want to do that anymore. The only
reason you ever needed xsp-js was because it gave you
access to the Rhino javscript stuff behind the scenes.
But it took away your ability to use the java stuff
you need.

I can appreciate how confusing this must all seem to
someone new to cocoon, and even worse if you're new to
java - I'm sure all this just seems like absolute
voodoo.
Unfortunately, all I can give is clues because my own
time is limited and because you're trying something
fairly novel.
Best of luck,
Geoff

Re: JavaScript problems in XSP
Posted by Anna Afonchenko <an...@ubaccess.com>.
Hi Geoff. Thanks for helping me.
If you don't mind, I want to ask you some more questions, cause I still
don't really understand what I have to do.
1. I didin't find any example of xsp using Rhino. Can you give me an
example, or a URL to the page with example? I am sorry, but I tried hard to
find examples, and I just didn't succeed. In Cocoon documentation it is
mentioned that Rhino can be used as an XSP scripting language, but they
don't give any example.
2. Can I use JSGenerator instead of ServerPagesGenerator on the pipeline?
All these things confuse me alot, and I'll be very happy if you gave me some
more clues.
Thank you very very much and sorry for attacking you with so many questions.
Anna

Not surprising - just checked and javascript xsp's
have only request, response and session logicsheets.
I don't know if it's possible to recreate the include
expression functionality in javascript - you may want
to send a very specific question on that to this list,

Re: JavaScript problems in XSP
Posted by Anna Afonchenko <an...@ubaccess.com>.
Hi Geoff. Thank you for your help, I appreciate this very much.
I tried the code that you suggested, and I have a few questions/issues:
1. First of all I tried to give the eval() function some simple string that
I declared inside the <xsp:logic> tag: someStr =
"document.write('<center>Hello</center>')";
If I write this string inside the <xsp:expr>document.text</xsp:expr>, the
output is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<page xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp"
xmlns:xsp-request="http://apache.org/xsp/request/2.0"
xmlns:util="http://apache.org/xsp/util/2.0">
<p><center>Hello</center></p>
</page>
which is great, but when I looked in the source code, I found out that the
<center>Hello</center> string
is written using entities, e.g. it is not a node-set of the output xml
document.
Trying to enclose the <xsp:expr> tag inside the <util:include-expr> tag:
<util:include-expr><util:expr><xsp:expr>document.text</xsp:expr></util:expr>
</util:include-expr>
the surprising output is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<page xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp"
xmlns:xsp-request="http://apache.org/xsp/request/2.0"
xmlns:util="http://apache.org/xsp/util/2.0">
<p>
<util:include-expr>
<util:expr><center>Hello</center></util:expr>
</util:include-expr>
</p>
</page>
i.e. <center>Hello</center> remains to be a string and not a node-set, but
now it is enclosed in a tree fragment
<util:include-expr><util:expr>. This is strange. Do you have any idea how
can I avoid outputting the result as a string (with entities) rather that
outputting it as a node-set?
2. How can I retrieve the content of some html file from xsp with
javascript? And parse it?
When I was using Java inside an xsp, i could write the following:
XSPUtil u = new XSPUtil();
String get = u.getFileContents(URL of the file);
Can I do something like this from Javascript? I tried:
content = <util:get-file-contents name="URL of the file">;
but it doesn't work. Is it possible that there are problem using util
library from xsp with javascript?
Thank you for your help. I will wait for your answer.
I hope this is not too long.
Grateful Anna

Aha. For future reference, you probably should have
made it clear from the beginning that you were a)
using javascript xsp, and b) trying to do this
specific thing with retrieving external pages out of
your control.
That said, you are probably in uncharted waters - but
interesting ones. The first thing I'd try is make
sure that this ability doesn't already exist by some
miracle in JTidy or another html parser. I'd suggest
trying the following (but you have to promise to let
me know whether it works or not).
What about tricking the client side javascript into
evaluating the document.write and document.writeln?
For instance, set up a javascript object called
"document" which initializes an empty text holder and
exposes a write() and writeln() method to append to
that variable. Then, use eval() on each line taken
out of your script tags. So,
function write(string) {this.text += string;}
function writeln(string) {this.text += (string +
'\n')};
function doc() {
this.text="";
this.write = write;
this.writeln = writeln;
}
then when you encounter a script section do something
like:
<xsp:logic>
var document = new doc();
eval('document.writeln...);
eval('document.write...);
</xsp:logic>
<xsp:expr>document.text</xsp:expr>
where you take each string to eval out of the incoming
script section, probably in a for loop. any other
variables and operations it uses to prepare values
should work the same as normal. You'll have trouble
with escaping quotes, and extracting the strings but
it may be possible.
Other than that, I'm out of ideas. You may not be
able to do this at all in a way that is worth the
effort.

like:
<xsp:logic>
var document = new doc();
eval('document.writeln...);
eval('document.write...);
</xsp:logic>
<xsp:expr>document.text</xsp:expr>
where you take each string to eval out of the incoming
script section, probably in a for loop. any other
variables and operations it uses to prepare values
should work the same as normal. You'll have trouble
with escaping quotes, and extracting the strings but
it may be possible.
Other than that, I'm out of ideas. You may not be
able to do this at all in a way that is worth the
effort.

Re: JavaScript problems in XSP
Posted by Geoff Howard <co...@yahoo.com>.
Aha. For future reference, you probably should have
made it clear from the beginning that you were a)
using javascript xsp, and b) trying to do this
specific thing with retrieving external pages out of
your control.
That said, you are probably in uncharted waters - but
interesting ones. The first thing I'd try is make
sure that this ability doesn't already exist by some
miracle in JTidy or another html parser. I'd suggest
trying the following (but you have to promise to let
me know whether it works or not).
What about tricking the client side javascript into
evaluating the document.write and document.writeln?
For instance, set up a javascript object called
"document" which initializes an empty text holder and
exposes a write() and writeln() method to append to
that variable. Then, use eval() on each line taken
out of your script tags. So,
function write(string) {this.text += string;}
function writeln(string) {this.text += (string +
'\n')};
function doc() {
this.text="";
this.write = write;
this.writeln = writeln;
}
then when you encounter a script section do something
like:
<xsp:logic>
var document = new doc();
eval('document.writeln...);
eval('document.write...);
</xsp:logic>
<xsp:expr>document.text</xsp:expr>
where you take each string to eval out of the incoming
script section, probably in a for loop. any other
variables and operations it uses to prepare values
should work the same as normal. You'll have trouble
with escaping quotes, and extracting the strings but
it may be possible.
Other than that, I'm out of ideas. You may not be
able to do this at all in a way that is worth the
effort.

Re: JavaScript problems in XSP
Posted by Anna Afonchenko <an...@ubaccess.com>.
I am not using document.write.
What I am trying to do is load some arbitrary file from the net (not my
file, just any file, so I don't have control on what's written inside) and
if this file contains script tag (which is written, for example, in
Javascript), I want to extract the HTML tree fragment that is generated by
this (Java)script.
I use xsp to include the given file, that's all, then I use xsl to extract
the data inside the script tags. But what I get is again the script code,
e.g.
document.write("<center>Hello</center>");
What I'm asking is whether it's possible to extract the HTML that the script
is writing - in this case it's just to get the value of the document.write
method, but it can be something more complicated.
I don't know if this can be done at all, in Cocoon/XSP/XSL.
If somebody will have any idea how to do it, I will be very thankful.
Sorry if this is too messy, I am new to this list and to cocoon at all.
Thank you for all the help.
Anna

Subject: Re: JavaScript problems in XSP
Why are you using document.write? document of course
is a reference to the client side document object
which doesn't exist server side at all.
The problem with your example is that you don't need
javascript (or xsp for that matter) to do any of that.
Obviously you want to move beyond that though. It's
also unclear whether you want that fragment to be
included in the sax stream, or whether you want that
output escaped and displayed as is on screen (i think
the first).
I'm not sure you can (using javascript in xsp) easily
take an xml fragment in string form and generate sax
events from it. It doesn't matter though because you
probably really don't need to. What you should
probably do is start with (note the ... implies that
you probably have other page structure but you don't
need to for this example)
<xsp:page language="javascript"
xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp">
...
<center>
<font size="+3">
This HTML-document has been created with the
help of JavaScript!
</font>
</center>
...
</xsp:page>
And then use <xsp:logic> <xsp:expr> <xsp:attribute>
<xsp:element> etc to make whatever parts dynamic.
For example, a next step might be :
<xsp:page language="javascript"
xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp">
...
<xsp:logic>
message = "This HTML-document has been created with
the
help of JavaScript!";
</xsp:logic>
<center>
<font size="+3">
<xsp:expr>message</xsp:expr>
</font>
</center>
...
</xsp:page>
and then,
<xsp:page language="javascript"
xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp">
...
<xsp:logic>
message = "This HTML-document has been created with
the
help of JavaScript!";
displayMessage = true;
</xsp:logic>
...
<xsp:logic>
if (displayMessage) {
<center>
<font size="+3">
<xsp:expr>message</xsp:expr>
</font>
</center>
}
</xsp:logic>
...
</xsp:page>
The best place I know of to read up on the xsp sytax
is
http://outerthought.net/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=XSPSyntax
as the official docs don't catalog the available tags
IIRC.
If you don't mind me saying so, I'd also suggest that
you read up some more on the basic ideas behind the
cocoon sax pipeline concept and what generators do as
it seems you may have some of the concepts muddled.
XSP is only a tool for automatically creating a
generator - a compiled java class no matter what
language you script your xsp in.

Re: JavaScript problems in XSP
Posted by Geoff Howard <co...@yahoo.com>.
Why are you using document.write? document of course
is a reference to the client side document object
which doesn't exist server side at all.

javascript (or xsp for that matter) to do any of that.
Obviously you want to move beyond that though. It's
also unclear whether you want that fragment to be
included in the sax stream, or whether you want that

Re: JavaScript problems in XSP
Posted by Anna Afonchenko <an...@ubaccess.com>.
Thank you Ryan. Now what I get when I run the pipeline, what I see is the
result of running the javascript. But what I really need is the "source" of
this javascript, e.g. if the javascript code was:
document.write("<center><font size=+3>");
document.write("This HTML-document has been created ");
document.write("with the help of JavaScript!");
document.write("</font></center>");
I want to get as a result the xhtml tree fragment that is created, e.g. I
want to get back:
<center>
<font size=+3>
This HTML-document has been created with the help of JavaScript!
</font>
</center>
e.g. I want to see the actual HTML code that was used in javascript to
create the given page, and not the result of executing it.
Is it doable in Cocoon/XSP?
Thank you very much for your help.
Anna

Hi Anna,
Client-side (in your web browser) JavaScript is a completely different
beast than server-side (on your web server) JavaScript. In server-side
JavaScript, there are no windows, DHTML, or much any other properties or
methods you would use to manipulate a browser for dynamic content.
To use Cocoon to achieve your task, the first step would to define
"given-file.html" in your sitemap, and make sure its serialized in
well-formed XHTML. Then you could use the Cinclude transformer to
import given-file.html, kind of like this (myfile.xsp):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsp:page language="java" xmlns:xsp=http://apache.org/xsp>
<page xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0">
<p>
<cinclude:include src="cocoon:/given-file.html" />
</p>
</page>
</xsp:page>
and in your sitemap.xmap:
<map:match pattern="given-file.html">
<map:generate type="serverpages" src="docs/given-file.xsp" />
<map:transform src="stylesheets/given-file.xsl" />
<map:serialize type="xhtml"/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="myfile.xsl">
<map:generate type="serverpages" src="docs/myfile.xsp" />
<map:transform type="cinclude"/>

Subject: Javascript problems in XSP
Hi All.
This is my first post, so don't be angry with me if I do something
wrong.
I am using XSP on Cocoon 2.0.3, and I want to do the following:
given a name of the html file that contains javascript, I want to get
the result of this javascript and
put it inside some element in XSP. But when I write the following code
in XSP using javascript:
<p>
<xsp:logic>
var js = window.open("given-file.html");
var result = js.document.body.innerHTML;
</xsp:logic>
<xsp:expr>result</xsp:expr>
</p>
nothing happens (even doesn't give any error).
If I am using this code inside an html file's script tag, it works fine.
If I am trying some simple Javascript functions in XSP (e.g. Date()), it
works.
Maybe there is some problem with opening files in XSP?
Can somebody please tell me what am I doing wrong and how can I get the
result of javascript code executed in some given file?
Thank you very much in advance.
Anna
