Re: XML in HTTP Post Parameters [RESOLVED]

[John Lianoglou <jo...@arachnedesign.net>]

Well, took a break to watch Pirates of the Caribbean, and when I came 
back I sorted it out! The answer is to use the StreamGenerator!

The docs are a bit incomplete, though:
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/generators/stream-generator.html

On the Cocoon documentation for 2.1, the following sitemap example code 
fragment is provided:

     <map:generate type="stream" />

If you want to extract a single parameter, you'll have to use:

     <map:generate type="stream">
         <map:parameter name="form-name" value="my_text_area" />
     </map:generate>

And definitely make sure that the XML has a root element ... which 
means (vis-a-vis usability) you may have to check for -- and insert it 
-- using JavaScript on the client side, to ensure it's there by the 
time Cocoon sees it.

I wound up integrating it into other pipelines by using a CInclude.

Does anyone else have any simpler solutions? I feel like I'm reaching 
over my shoulder to scratch my ass on this one...

You can provide a patch if you want ;-)

I don't think that there is a simpler solution than your aggregation + 
stream generator. There are other solutions - e.g. the request generator 
should also work, but you have to extract the correct value, or 
processPipelineToDOM() in the flowscript - but no solution seems to be 
that straight forward as the stream generator.
