escaping xml tags

I have an XSP which returns an XML document from the Xindice database.

result = get the document from Xindice;

<xsp:expr>result</xsp:expr>

It goes all well except that the document returned is escaped so it is not
actually XML anymore. Does anyone know how to tell XSP not to escape the result?

Thanks,
Ali

Re: escaping xml tags

Posted by Bert Van Kets <be...@vankets.com>.
Aparently your <xsp:expr>result</xsp:expr> returns a string and not and XML 
stream.
You can use JTidy to convert your String to an XML stream.  It's classes 
are available in Cocoon!
Here's a code snip out of an XSP page that converts a POST from a brower 
based html editor to an XML stream.

   <xsp:structure>
     <xsp:include>org.w3c.tidy.Tidy</xsp:include>
     <xsp:include>java.io.ByteArrayInputStream</xsp:include>
   </xsp:structure>
   <page>
     <xsp:logic>
       String strContent = request.getParameter("content");
       ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream( 
strContent.getBytes() );
       org.w3c.dom.Document doc = null;
       org.w3c.tidy.Configuration conf = new org.w3c.tidy.Configuration();

       try {
         Tidy tidy = new Tidy();
         //Do not show "parsing" messages
         tidy.setQuiet(true);
         //Do not show warnings in the Servlet Engine console
         tidy.setShowWarnings(false);
         //set the output type
         tidy.setXmlOut(true);
         //Set the encoding
         tidy.setCharEncoding( conf.LATIN1 );
         //Set output options
         tidy.setBreakBeforeBR(false);
         tidy.setQuoteNbsp(true);
         tidy.setQuoteAmpersand(true);
         tidy.setLiteralAttribs(true);
         //Omit the document type in the tidy output
         tidy.setXmlPi(false);
         //parse the document tot a DOM tree
         doc =  tidy.parseDOM(in, null);
       } catch (Exception e) {
            //Do some error handling here
       }
     </xsp:logic>
     <content>
       <xsp:expr>doc.getDocumentElement()</xsp:expr>
     </content>


You will need to tweak the Tidy parameters, but you get the idea, I guess.
The DOM stream from JTidy is automatically converted to SAX by Cocoon 
(correct me if I'm wrong) so you can do regular transformations in the 
pipeline afterwards.

Re: escaping xml tags

Posted by Upayavira <uv...@upaya.co.uk>.
Don't know if this is the only way, nor how to do it in XSP, but what you want to do is 
parse the XML. In Java (e.g. in a custom generator) you could say is something like:

            InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new 
ByteArrayInputStream(page.getBytes()));
            Parser parser = (Parser) manager.lookup(Parser.ROLE);
            parser.parse(inputSource, xmlConsumer);

xmlConsumer is a handle for the next stage in a pipeline. I don't know if you can get 
hold of that in XSP. 

Anyway, hope that helps and isn't completely irrelevant!
