default value in dasl
I am trying to use dasl search in my site. I'm still trying to understand dasl by experimenting various things. I want to know if I can set a default value in dasl. what i am trying to do is:
in my dasl i have:
<d:limit>
<d:nresults>${cocoon.parameters.results}</d:nresults>
</d:limit>
this way, I can limit the nr of result using a request parameter. so now when I write
www.mysite.com?results=5, I have 5 results on the page. what I want (and don;t know how to achieve) is to tell dasl to ignore the condition if the parameter does not exists..so if I only have www.mysite.com, then it will display all results, if the parameter however is defined (?results=5) then it would display that number of results. I don;t know exactly how to do it. is there a way to put if conditions in dasl?
P.S. for those that have experience in dasl. is there any documentation on dasl on the internet? I've searched a bunch on google and didn;t find much. 10x in advance

RE: default value in dasl
Posted by Jasha Joachimsthal <j....@hippo.nl>.
Vaduvoiu,
that depends on how you generate the query. I guess you're using jx, so you could do something like (did it by heart, could be an error in it):
<d:nresults>
<jx:choose>
<jx:when test="${cocoon.parameters.results.length > 0}">${cocoon.parameters.results}</jx:when>
<jx:otherwise>5</jx:otherwise>
</jx:choose>
</d:nresults>
An other approach is to generate an empty file and create the query in XSL. There you can use xsl:choose etc...
Regards,
Jasha
