So in your XSP page, you want to be able to determine which "user" is
requesting your page, and customise output for that user?

You could do it with standard servlet2.2 session tracking.. Eg, have users log
on, assign them a certain "role", and in the XSP page have:

<xsp:logic>
if (request.isUserInRole("blah")) {
	<html><h1>Special content for users in group blah</h1></html>
} else {
	<html>normal content</html>
}
</xsp:logic>


But that's not very pretty. In C2, I'm sure you can either do it currently with
the sitemap, or the sitemap could be generalised to select on user "role". Eg,
in your sitemap you could have:

<map:select>
  <map:when user="bob">
    <map:generate src="bobsxsp.xml"/>
  </map:when>
  <map:otherwise>
    <map:generate src="normalxsp.xml"/>
  </map:otherwise>
</map:select>

I've never used C2, so judge the above snippet accordingly ;P

you should use <xsl:copy-of  to insert xml fragment, since <xsl:value-of always returns a string value.

Haven't tested it personally, but the esql.xsl taglib has got a tag
<esql:get-xml column=".."/>

(just the same as <esql:get-string/>)

Does serve your needs?

Inserting raw HTML/XML

Posted by Olivier Richaud <ol...@yahoo.com>.
We are storing into a database an HTML fragment that should be extracted
later. The fact is that with Cocoon, when we insert the fragment into a
node, Cocoon escapes the HTML tags. And Cocoon does not disable output
escaping with <xsl:value-of> so that we are stuck.

We are storing the HTML in order to keep the presentation. We are ready to
change the way we store information, and ready to store XML. But is there an
easy way to store an XML fragment and load it on demand so that it can be
inserted in a node?

Has anyone run into the same problem and found a workaround.

Thanks in advance.

Olivier.
