Invoking a Producer from a URI

[Perry Hoekstra <du...@uswest.net>]

Greet the sun all, 

In the cocoon.properties file, the comments state that to invoke a 
Producer, you call the following URI: 

http://your.site.com/your_XML_file.xml?producer=dummy 

in order to run the example DummyProducer and receive some output. 
However, in my situation, Cocoon wants to parse your_XML_file.xml before 
it even thinks about looking at parameters. I looked at the archives 
and there were a couple of posts that talked about invoking 
whatever.xml?product=dummy but the post contained nothing that I am not 
doing. 

So back to my question, taking a stock Cocoon 1.7.3 install and making 
sure that DummyProducer is in the classpath, what is the officially 
blessed method of invoking a Producer from a URI?
