[jira] Updated: (COCOON-865) [PATCH] New ResourceLoadAction

["David Crossley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-865?page=all ]

David Crossley updated COCOON-865:
----------------------------------

    Bugzilla Id:   (was: 24389)
     Other Info: [Patch available]
    Description: 
I've created a new ResourceLoadAction (based on the ResourceExistsAction).

This action is very useful if you want to load a pipeline, so that it can set up 
some things used in your calling pipeline.  

For example, you may need to access DOM information stored in your 
session/request object, so might need to call a pipeline ahead of time to read 
the data from a database and then use WriteDomTransformer to put the data where 
your main pipeline can get at it.

I ran into a situation where I wanted to use a Selector coupled with the 
JXPathMetaModule (to read the selector value from a DOM document in the session)
, but needed to do ensure that the data was first loaded into the session.  
ResourceLoadAction solved this need.

Basically, it's very much like a <map:call> but with the serialized output being 
thrown away, so it can be used to call any arbitrary pipeline anywhere you can 
put an action.

Source attached.
