WebServiceProxyGenerator and links parsing / rewriting

[Thierry BARUSTA <tb...@cvf.fr>]

Hi!

I'm very new to Cocoon (2.1) and I don't know really where an how to
post my question. I have to create a proxy with Cocoon that will forward
HTTP requests to an other server which will answer in XML. This XML will
be then transformed into xhtml. Problem is:

-If there are links in this XML they have to be rewritten to point to
the proxy. Which way is the best/easiest to translate those links?
Linkrewriter? A filter? an XML Parser? or my own transfomer?

I will have more questions in the futur, but this is the most important
one. I thank you in advance for you help!

Best regards,
--
TB

hi,
i had to do something similar and i wrote a specific transformer 
inspired by
EncodeURLTransformer's code. Indeed, with EncodeURLTransformer  "you can 
specify which attributes hold URL values in order to restrict URL 
rewriting to specific attributes only" (cf. javadoc).

regards.

I have never used it but I think it's the way to go.

To lowlevel.

No, the XML coming from the other server will already be parsed by the 
WebServiceProxyGenerator, the resulting SAX events are pushed through 
the pipeline.

Also to lowlevel, or to overkill. A simple XSLT will probably do the 
work too. But I would try the linkrewriter first.

Looking forward :)
