XML-RPC and Cocoon (Was: How To map:generate XML that has been retrieved from Java without using XSP)

a tough one. But then again maybe not.

What you would need is a Transformer that can call an XML-RPC service based
on request parameters it is passed - right?

Something like:

<cocoon:call-xml-rpc>
  <target>http://myserver/xyzservice</target>
  <methodName>examples.getStateName</methodName>
   <params>
      <param>
         <value><i4>41</i4></value>
      </param>
   </params>
</cocoon:call-xml-rpc>

The Transformer would then take this and call the service and pipe the
response back into the pipeline.

Is this something like what you were thinking?

I think we should now move this over to cocoon-dev - because as yet there is
no xml-rpc transformer or similar and I would love to hear what others
think.

That being said - we should implement something like this ASAP. Or is there
something out there?

Matthew

without using XSP


Since I'm new to cocoon, this may be very easy, but I've read a great deal
of documentation and haven't run across it.

Without using XSP, how can I call on the generator to process xml that is
dynamically retrieved by my java class?  Would this be an action?



Taking it a bit further:

Is there a way I can configure a reflection based action or generator to
call an XML-RPC service by xml configuration utilizing request parameters?



Thanks in advance,

Kevin
