How to attached a different stylesheet

[Manuel Mall <MM...@arcus.com.au>]

Firstly I am fairly new to cocoon and secondly the cocoon mailing list
archives appear unreachable. Therefore my apologies if this question is
either trivial or has been asked and answered before.

I need to implement sort of a report writer (document producer) based on
information retrieved from a database. So I am using the XSP SQL stuff to
get the data out of the (MySQL) database. Now, depending on the value of a
field retrieved from the database (or depending on a field in the resulting
XML) I would like to invoke a different FOP stylesheet to produce the
desired PDF output, ie. I want to have a different look and feel depending
on a database value. Is this possible? All examples I have seen which attach
multiple or different stylesheets to the same XML document are based around
the media attribute. This doesn't appear to work in my case.

Thanks

Manuel

Yes, it is. But you have to write it in java, as no taglib will help
you.

Add a PI with the right value with <xsp:pi>, or with something like:

document.insertBefore(
    document.createProcessingInstruction(
        "xml-stylesheet",
        "type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"mode_A.wml.xsl\""
    ),
    xspCurrentNode);
