Output to file/ replace file
Hi,
I realise this is a question that probably has come up before on the list but I can't seem to find it in the archives or on google.
I have two questions:
1. How can I manipulate files using cocoon, I have some xml data I want to be able to change without storing it in a database.
2. The same question but for binary data, I can upload binary files just fine, but haven't found an obvious way to pick it up from the 'upload-directory' and store it in it's final location.
Pointers to information or past threads apreciated.
Rob

There is also Bitflux, which is similar to XOpus (so I am told) and Wyona
comes with a html forms editor for XML files - though it isn't completed yet.

Hi Rob,
> 1. How can I manipulate files using cocoon, I have some xml data I want to
be able to change without storing it in a database.
You can store your xml generated data in a stylesheet :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:redirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"
extension-element-prefixes="redirect">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<redirect:open file="webapps/cocoon/samples/srvimp/content/xml/doc8.xml"/>
<redirect:write file="webapps/cocoon/samples/srvimp/content/xml/doc8.xml">
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
</redirect:write>
<redirect:close file="webapps/cocoon/samples/srvimp/content/xml/doc8.xml"/>
</xsl:template >
</xsl:stylesheet>
I think there are better solutions, but i didn't find it when i have this
need.

If you get around to writing a (mini-)howto, I'll be glad to do some
testing/ proofreading. I need to spend some time on this next week anyway.
Thanks everyone for the replies.

I, too, have come across this. I searched the Archives with other
keywords and discovered this little gem:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=102950781606334&w=2
Basically, there exists in Cocoon 2.1 and in the scratchpad of 2.0.3 a
Transformer (SourceWritingTransformer). Check out the link above. I
will probably try it out this weekend and if anyone is interested, I'll
write up the mini-howto...or at least make an attempt at one.

You might want to look at XOpus which is essentially an "easy" XML editor.
You might want to use it with Wyona which is a Cocoon based CMS.
http://www.xopus.org, http://www.wyona.org
However neither of these are terribly easy to use.

To ask a slightly different question - I'd like to use XMLForms as a simple
survey / questionaire software - and have it drop the results as a text /
xml file on the file system.
Is there an easy XMLForms example which does that or do I need to get
XMLForms to write to a DOM objec, and then serialise the DOM object to a file?
