Building Nodes with Java
I'm hoping someone can give me a starting point for building on to my
result xml documents dynamicly. I think that's what I want to say. I
noticed the brief bit of information on xml fragments. I also saw that
through xsp you have access to the result tree through the org.w3c classes.
Which should I use? I couldn't find the API for the org.w3c classes such as
Document and Node after looking for quite a while.
I'd really appretiate any help anyone could give me. Links to tutorials
and documentation would be great.
Thanks,
Matt

See also my solution, without Producer:
Brief:
I wanted to generate XML in Servlet dynamically and pass it to Cocoon
somehow
without resorting to saving this xml to file and redirecting user's browser
to URL of this file.
I have found another
(better, easier, safer? than hacking Cocoon Producer) solution.
It works!
See source code attached.
In few words:
I am a Servlet,
I generate XML document (from Value Object JavaBEan which I take from
HTTPSession) , then make a String of it,
I wrap my HTTPRequest and my XML document as String, into provided
CocoonServletRequest,
I instantiate CocoonEngine in myself,
I invoke 'handle' method of this engine, while passing to it :
my cocoonized wrapped Request,
my own Response.
The effect is that Cocoon makes my Response to output PDF.

Re: Building Nodes with Java

I use producers and jdom to build xml dynamically. Here is a link to a tutorial
on producers.
http://www.xmlmag.com/upload/free/features/xml/2000/04fal00/kj0004/kj0004.asp
www.jdom.org is where to find jdom.
Here is how I hook the jdom output back into the producer. Any suggestions on a
better technique would be greatly appreciated.
//---- Some things you will need -----
private XMLOutputter fmt = new XMLOutputter();
private StringReader sr = null;
private StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
//---- Below is the relevant snippet of code after I have created the dynamic
bit of XML and placed it a jdom Element
Document doc = new Document(elm);
doc.addContent(CocoonHelper.getXSLTPI());
doc.addContent(CocoonHelper.getStyleSheetPI(stylesheet));
fmt.output( doc, sw );
return sw.toString();
// the above code is then used by the producer as follows
public java.io.Reader getStream(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request) {
Inquiry inq = new Inquiry(request);
return new StringReader(inq.getResultXML());
}
An XML string is returned and processed be the producer.
I hope that helps.
