[SUMMARY] Re: xsp esql gives escaped output (its request param problem?)

[Stavros Kounis <go...@osmosis.gr>]

after a whole weekend play with cocoon i have find a sollution

searching in this mailing archive i have notice that this is a problemm
that other users have too so i write down my experiences:


- first of all a new cocoon instance (2.1 [a cvs snapshot in my harddisk
some weeks old])

- i have leave all cocoon conf files untouched, so the default encoding is
UTF-8

- create a .html  with a form to post data, using UTF-8 encoding in head.
but here is a small point. i use XMLspy to edit all my xml, html ..files,
so there is not enough to select UTF-8 in head of html, i have to set my
editor (xmlspy) to save non-xml files using utf-8 encoding (othewise i use
to get strange results).

- create my .xsp file using utf-8 encoding. the scope of this file is just
to echo the data that my form post. (after succesfull echo i have create
more .xsp doing things with my data base)

- and final put some lines in sitemap.xmap to make clear that the posted
data are in utf-8
********sitemap.xmap entry:
<map:sitemap xmlns:map="http://apache.org/cocoon/sitemap/1.0">
	<map:components>
		<map:actions>
			<map:action name="set-encoding" src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.SetCharacterEncodingAction"/>
		</map:actions>
	</map:components>
	<map:pipelines>
		<map:pipeline>
			<map:act type="set-encoding">
				<map:parameter name="form-encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
			</map:act>
			<map:match pattern="*.html">
				<map:read mime-type="text/html" src="{1}.html"/>
			</map:match>
			<map:match pattern="*.xsp">
				<map:generate type="serverpages" src="{1}.xsp"/>
				<map:transform src="xml.xsl"/>
				<map:serialize type="xml"/>
			</map:match>
		</map:pipeline>
	</map:pipelines>
</map:sitemap>
**********
that's it. now i can go on with cocoon.



i think that this will be a usefull how-to for cocoon wiki but my poor
english dont let me write the how-to. so if anyone can help i can
comment and pack my example and sent to work with it.
