HTML Generator / Web Service Proxy Generator difficulties

[Rolando Isidoro <rl...@uninova.pt>]

Hello, I'm trying to implement several persons' profiles in a Lenya 
publication. Additionally to some static info I intend to gather some 
extra info from a application that provides it in a XML format. This 
application is a OAI compliant tool, so the info is dynamically 
generated using a HTTP request, it's not available in a local file. 
Given this, I've looked into Lenya and Cocoon documentation and found 2 
similar and interesting possibilities to implement this, HTML Generator 
and Web Service Proxy Generator, the first one seemed fit to my needs, 
but I'm having some trouble integrating it in a Lenya publication.

Being my publication's structure something like:

Home
People
  |-- Me
  |-- Him
  |-- Her
  |-- ...
Events
Press & Media

how can I integrate info from such a source into every person's page? Is 
it possible to create a sitemap.xmap in the 
pubs/(...)/live/content/people directory where I can create a pipeline 
to dynamically insert that info using HTML Generator or Web Service 
Proxy Generator techniques? If so, can someone point me the way of doing 
this? I've been using Lenya for some time, but what concerns development 
I'm a newbie.

Thanks for the attention,
Rolando

you could adjust your sample for te people doctype to contain something 
like <xi:include href="cocoon:/get-person/{page-envelope:document-id}"/>

then add an internal pipeline get-person/* that fetches the remote 
resource and transforms it the way you want, plus add the xinclude 
transformer to the pipeline that processes your doctype.

that is the rough idea, some details might be slightly different (i 
didnt test this)
