Using business objects instead of XML
Dear List,
I am trying to insert a domain object into the pipiline with control
flow following a suggestion given earlier on this list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@cocoon.apache.org/msg23293.html
Suppose, I return some object from a domain class instance, like
var domainObject = com.foo.myClass.doSomething();
The domainObject has all the getters available, e.g. getName(), etc, so
it acts like a regular bean.
Now, I would like insert this object in the pipeline with
cocoon.sendPage ("page", domainObject);
In the sitemap, I have
<map:match pattern="page">
<map:generate src="module:flow-attr:domainObject" />
<map:serialize type="xml" />
</map:match>
(This is just to see how it looks like.)
The result of all this is an error of the form:
org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Exception during source
resolving.: org.apache.excalibur.source.SourceException: The attribute:
domainObject is empty
This looks obvious to me, since it is probably not clear that the
domainObject in facts represents some class, defined in com.foo.myClass.
So, I tried to define the DomainObject class in JavaScripy, like
function DomainObject()
{
}
DomainObject.prototype.name;
and populate the object manually before calling cocoon.sendPage. The
result is however the same.
I am using cocoon 2.1.7.
Could anyone point out in some detail how exactly I should do this.
Thanks,

The easiest thing I can advice you now is to define the domain entity as
java class and implement Xmlizable. Then you have to define your entity
"xml behaviour" in toSax method.
then do:
<map:match pattern="page">
<!-- note the xmodule!! -->
<map:generate src="xmodule:flow-attr:domainObject" />
<map:serialize type="xml" />
</map:match>

Re: Using business objects instead of XML
Posted by Andre Juffer <aj...@sun3.oulu.fi>.
Leszek, and Others,
I have tried the following as well (flow script):
function DomainObject()
{
}
DomainObject.prototype.id;
DomainObject.prototype.name;
function something()
{
....
// Get the request parameters.
var domainObject = new DomainObject();
domainObject.name = cocoon.request.getParameter("name");
domainObject.id = 1000;
cocoon.sendPage("page", { "DomainObject" : domainObject } );
}
The result of this is
org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Exception during source
resolving.: org.apache.excalibur.source.SourceException: The object
type: class org.mozilla.javascript.NativeObject could not be serialized
as a InputStream [object Object]
If I use one of my own domainObjects, that is, I have now
var domainObject = com.foo.SomeClass.doSomething()
the result is very similar:
org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Exception during source
resolving.: org.apache.excalibur.source.SourceException: The object
type: class com.foo.DomainObject could not be serialized as a
InputStream DomainObject - name: jfifiikss, id: 1000
(The last line is produced by the toString() method of the
com.foo.DomainObject class.)
So, the key problem is that objects cannot be serialized as an
InputStream for the pipeline, which occurs at
<map:generate src="module:flow-attr:DomainObject" />
in the sitemap.
Anybody any ideas about this? The basic question here is how exactly one
can process objects instantiated in a flowscrip by the sitemap?
(Cocoon version 2.1.7)
Thanks,
Andre.

Thanks. Just checked out the Betwixt website. Looks very simple and
certainly worth trying.

We use a "Bean Generator" that I wrote that uses Betwixt. It is just a
few lines of code. If the objects are faily "well behaved" then the XML
produced is pretty good. It doesn't need a mapping file.

Yes, this is the Transformer as provided by cocoon, which requires field
descriptors. However, the 'original' Castor can handle this all also
without descriptors using reflection. It is trivial of course to include
a separate descriptor file, so it seems that the CastorTransformer could
be a good choice. Thanks for the tip (I apprently overlooked this
Transformer)

Actually, it can, it will use reflection, at least the documentation
tells so:
"Castor can marshal "almost" any arbitrary Object to and from XML. When
descriptors are not available for a specfic Class, the marshalling
framework uses reflection to gain information about the object."
see http://castor.codehaus.org/xml-framework.html
It does require that the object implements the java.io.Serializable
interface, though, implying that one has to change the relevant
DomainObject class (or extend them to create cocoon/castor specific
classes).

you can of course use castor generator but I do not know if castor is
able to generate anything if it has no mapping file.

Yes, I thought already that it would go in that direction. I was hoping
that reflection was used to get information about a class (e.g. as in
Castor).

There is no way for the generator to know how xml can be generated out
of your domain object. There is no possibility to do that without
"helping" the framework. I do not know what is expected from source to
be xmlizable. I would have to look into the sources. Or even better do
it yourself - you'll get a better knowledge of how cocoon works.

I see. I tried and indeed this gives a different result. At least, I can
now see some values. The error message is now
org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Exception during source
resolving.: org.apache.excalibur.source.SourceException: The object
type: class com.foo.DomainObject could not be serialized as a
InputStream DomainObject - name: jfifiikss, id: -1977936240, author: FOO
This is caused by the class com.foo.DomainObject itself.

try:
cocoon.sendPage( "page", { "domainObject" : domainObject } );

main context so in fact in your case it queries for
/domainObject/domainObject which is incorrect
