using cocoon pipelines without servlet

[Othman Haddad <oh...@neomalogic.com>]

hi everybody,
i've got 2 questions that could help me a lot:
1) can i extract the cocoon pipeling mecanism from cocoon without using as a
servlet? (i'm already using turbine and have a lot of code, and what just to
use the interesting pipelining of cocoon)!

2) can i use a java object in the cocoon pipeline?

thanks

It is possible, there is not a prebuilt solution for this ATM.
These are three ways that come to mind to me ATM:

1. use Cocoon as a Servlet 2.3 filter. In this way it can 
preprocess-postprocess the Turbine stuff. There is a filter for this in 
the Cocoon scratchpad IIRC.

2. Call Cocoon as you would for any other servlet.

3. Create an Enviromnent that calls Cocoon as a big service.

Option 3 is the best IMHO but it also takes more time to do.
If you send it to us, I will surely commit it :-)

For an example on how to do it, look at the commandline Environment and 
how it's used.

Sure, but since a Cocoon pipeline is XML, you must wrap it in a Cocoon 
pipeline component, which can be a Generator, Transformer, Serializer or 
Action, Matcher, etc...

It just depends on what you need this java object to do or to be.
