global variables from file?
Hi,
is it possible to load global variables from file?
Why? because this is how I could create config-file which could be
edited through some sort of interface and not to have to touch
sitemap-file.
It could be created so that when sending some signal to some object, it
would read that file again and read parameters from that file. (so not
checking that file everytime request comes).
skin-example is good:
config.xml would be like this:
<globals>
<skin>myskin</skin>
</globals>
then i could create web-page with what I could alter that
skin-variable. Then push submit and it would change skin to something
else!

seems not to be what I'm looking for or I just don't know how to
implement that.
on sitemap.xmap file there can be:
<global-variables>
<!--+
| Define global parameters here:
| <skin>my_skin</skin>
| ...
| You can access them by {global:*name*}, e.g. {global:skin}.
| These values are inherited into sub-sitemaps and can
| be extended there.
+-->
</global-variables>
I would like these global-variables to be loaded from a xml-file or
from properties file, or what ever file, as long as I can load them
from file and signal cocoon that the file has changed.
then I could do in sitemap like this:
<transform src="templates/{global:skin}/template.xsl" />

It was a bug and is fixed in CVS.

XMLFileModule problem
Posted by Joose Vettenranta <jo...@iki.fi>.
Seems like that it does not read new settings..
I changed file line to:
<file src="cocoon:/internal/config.xml" reloadable="true"
cacheable="false" cache-xpaths="false" />
then changed content of the config.xml
reloaded many times.. -> still reading old values
How to refresh those values?
Thanks, Joose

Re: global variables from file? [SOLVED, kinda]
Posted by Joose Vettenranta <jo...@iki.fi>.
Seems like that is what I can use..
I put in cocoon.xconf like this:
<component-instance
class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.XMLFileModule"
logger="core.modules.xml" name="foo">
<file src="cocoon:/internal/config.xml" />
</component-instance>
and in sitemap
<map:match pattern="internal/config.xml">
<map:generate type="file" src="config.xml" />
<map:serialize type="xml" />
</map:match>
and it's working well =)
Thanks,
Joose

I don't know wether it is what you want, but you can use the
PropertiesFileModule or the XMLFileModule to access config datas coming
from a (local) file:
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/apidocs/org/apache/cocoon/components/modules/input/PropertiesFileModule.html
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/apidocs/org/apache/cocoon/components/modules/input/XMLFileModule.html
