Problem with Maven Daisy plug-in

[Grzegorz Kossakowski <gr...@tuffmail.com>]

Hi,

I tried to publish my screencast on RCL and stuck at the point that I have no idea how to proceed 
from. Basically, I added flash file using MultiMediaObject as document type. Then created the whole 
infrastructure like page including the uploaded flash file, added to navigation files, etc.

However the result I've got is far from being expected, you can see it for you own here:
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/nightly-docs/2.2/1448_1_1.html

Notice in the source code that there is a XML for included document that has not been transformed 
into HTML. Does it mean that our plug-in fails to handle MultiMediaObjects?

If so how hard would it be to fix it?

I'll have a look at this.

Youtube is not a good hosting as it does not allow uploading flash files but only movies that are 
transformed into swf afterwards. There are probably other hosting sites that are better suited to 
our purposes but I wonder if it's a good idea to have our content stored externally.

I have been willing to have a look at Daisy export plug-in for a long time now so I think it's 
perfect occasion now.

In the long term I would like to upgrade our Daisy installation to 2.2 so I'll need to touch Daisy 
export plug-in anyway.

yes

You will have to extend 
trunk\tools\cocoon-daisy-export-strategy\src\main\java\org\apache\cocoon\tools\maven\daisy\export\strategy\CocoonExportStrategy.java 
  and 
trunk\tools\cocoon-daisy-export-strategy\src\main\resources\org\apache\cocoon\tools\maven\daisy\export\strategy\cocoon-doc-2-xdoc.xslt 
so that they support MultiMediaObjects.

Maybe it would be easier to publish the screencast on e.g. Youtube. 
However, I'm not sure if the necessary HTML snippet can be stored in a 
document that is edited by the Daisy HTML editor without getting removed 
by the HTMLCleaner.
