toXML() within XML file
Is there anyway to get Cocoon to recognize the output of my POJO's
toXML() method within my XML file? Right now it treats the resulting
XML as just a String and displays it as such.
<schedule>#{times}</schedule>
The output of the 'times' variable is XML, how do I make Cocoon realize
it? The XML is built using JDOM, does that really matter in the end
when the toXML() just ouputs a String? Should I be outputting a
Document or something different?
Many thanks,
Dustin

Interesting, thank you for the response. I've never used xmodule
before, I'll give it a go.

Yes, of course.
I guess JXTemplate doesn't know how to interpolate XML, because it
would have to use its expression evaluators for this, and neither of
its expression languages (JXPath nor JExL) can express that.
But you should be able to just create a pipeline to stream the object
as XML using the XModule source, then use Cinclude or Xinclude to pull
that in to your template. You'll be "pulling" your object through
another request, which means that the URI matched by this pipeline will
have to encode any parameters needed to retrieve/create the object.
Makes sense?
So actually you have two new pipelines: one that invokes a flowscript
function to get the object, then calls sendPage() on the second
pipeline, which contains
<generate src="xmodule:flow-attribute:time"/>

The XML String is being output OK, the problem is that Cocoon won't try
to transform it, although it will transform the XML around it. If I
look at the raw XML, the XML spit out from the call to toXML() is being
treated as any other String display output, and not XML, (i.e. the
client browser sees XML and not transformed HTML).
My example in the previous post shows a JX path passed in by the
JavaScript flow.

You mean in a JXTemplate, right? Just write:
<schedule>${times.toXML()}</schedule>
