Re: QUESTION on how to dynamically pass XSLT from the generator to a transformet

[David Rosenstrauch <da...@dti.net>]

There's an unrelated FAQ question that might help your problem too:

"How do I create some content which isn't directly visible to everyone? 
Put the content in an internal pipeline...

<map:pipelines>
<map:pipeline internal-only="true">
<map:match pattern="int">
<map:generate src="docs/description.xml"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
</map:pipeline>
<map:pipeline>
<map:match pattern="desc.html">
<map:generate src="cocoon:/int"/>
<map:transform src="stylesheets/description2html.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
</map:pipeline>
</map:pipelines>
"


Maybe you can do something like this:

<map:pipeline>
<map:match pattern="xxx.html">
<map:generate src="xxx.xml"/>
<map:transform src="cocoon:/int"/>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
</map:pipeline>

Then have the "int" internal pipeline generate your stuff on the fly.

HTH.
