Can I pass a sitemap resource as a parameter to an xslt transformer?
Hi
I want to combine two pieces of XML that gets passed to my XSL
transformation. I have a list of authors that needs only to be read
once. I then have a page to edit different articles and this page must
present the list of authors for selection. But I do not want to read the
list of authors from the database every time an article needs to be
edited. So I thought the best way to do this would be to define a
resource that contains the list of authors and pass this as a parameter
to the transformation for the article edit page as outlined below. Is it
possible to somehow refer to the authors resource where I have placed
the ???.
Any help much appreciated
Regards
Des

You don't need to pass it as a parameter. Just use map:aggregate with a
map:part that gets all the authors. To cache the result of the SQL query you
can use an expires pipeline with a very long expiration time.

As far as I know this is NOT possible.
As an alternative, you could include XML file with the authors list into
the XML file containing the page that requires editing (or include the
XML file containing the page into the XML file holding the authors
list), before you use your transformer. The transformer that selects
from the authors' node what it needs to produce the proper SQL.

RE: Can I pass a sitemap resource as a parameter to an xslt transformer?
Posted by "Binkley, Peter" <Pe...@ualberta.ca>.
I would use a regular pipeline for the authors list, with caching turned
on (so it doesn't run the query every time - check the cocoon docs for
how to control expiry etc.):
<map:pipeline type="caching">
<map:match pattern="authors">
...
And then include it from within the article.xsl using the cocoon:
protocol, which is used to address a pipeline in the sitemap:
<xsl:variable name="authors"
select="document('cocoon:/authors')"/>
Resources are used when you want to include the same series of
components in more than one pipeline. I don't think a resource can do
caching: that would be up to the pipelines in which it is called.
