How do you pass non-breaking spaces?
One problem I ran into with early prototypes, is that Cocoon converted
my elements to &nbsp; so that the client displayed
instead of a non breaking space. The reason this is so important, is
because of a bug in Netscape's rendering engine that removes all
formatting for an empty cell. The element was placed in the XSL layer,
because it really had no business in the XML layer.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I haven't tried it with Cocoon 1.7
yet.
If it can't be done, then how else can we force Netscape to incorporate
all formatting for cells that have no information? I find that transparent
images are clumsy, and add more text to download than a simple
element. If that's what I need to do...
Where is the root directory? Or, Do I have the correct Tomcat?
Posted by Steve Belt <sb...@velos.com>.
Pardon this most obvious question, but I could not find the answer in docs,
FAQ, nor the MailList:
I have installed Cocoon 1.7 using Tomcat on my Win98 machine running Apache.
I can view the Cocoon.xml file (I can even view a page using my
url-producer).
I now want to view a page using the file producer, but I keep getting "File
not found" errors from the Cocoon engine. If my URL is
http://localhost/appointments.xml, in what directory should I place the
appointments.xml file? Apache's root directory is [ApacheDir]/htdocs. I am
using the default server.xml installed by Tomcat, so "/" points to
[TomcatDir]/WebPages. I have placed my .xml and .xsl in both folders, but
still I get the error.
Note: according to the FAQ, Tomcat has a problem exposed by Cocoon. As
instructed, I downloaded the latest Tomcat. It was not clear, so I
downloaded the latest .jar - was I suppose to checkout the latest CVS and
compile it myself? How do I confirm my version of Tomcat has the fix in
place.
Again, Sorry for such a basic question, and thanks for any assistance.

We've been using JRun which works like a charm.

The only semi-difficult part is choosing a servlet runner and
configuring Cocoon to work with it. I am using Servlet Exec with NT
Server and IIS, which is very easy to configure, but is $495 more
expensive than JServ or the other free alternatives. It works as a fully
functional demo for 100 runs, and then switches to "lite" mode, which
doesn't support Cocoon. If you haven't already done so, you should
install a servlet runner and then follow the Cocoon installation
instructions. Does anyone have suggestions for the best servlet runner on
IIS?

Hi,
I've configured Tomcat to work with IIS, and Cocoon works fine.
I followed the docs in tomcat, but I recompiled the isapi connector: the one
present in tomcat is only 6k and is broken; the recompiled module
(isapi_redirect.dll) is about 64k.

I know I'm becoming annoying, but I'll repeat another time:
In the XSLT reccomendation I read that the right solution should be to use
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> text_not_to_be_quoted </sxl:text>
where text_not_to_be_quoted in your case should be &nbsp;
The attribute was ignored in Cocoon 1.5
Using Cocoon 1.6.1 you get
<?xslt-next-is-raw formatter-to-dom?>&nbsp;
that is wrong and strange too.
I have had no possibility to test it in Cocoon 1.7 yet.
Does it work in the supposed way in Cocoon 1.7? If not, why not?
Or am I misunderstanding the XSLT reccomendation?
Thanks in advance,
C.S.C.
P.S: I really do need this feature to generate valid MathML 2.0 markup,
at least until it becomes a reccomendation (not before many months)

SQL example = XML ? -> XSL
Posted by Wayne Elliott <wa...@ccis.adisys.com.au>.
I managed to get the SQL example to work with some valid
DB parameters. This translates the query result to XML.
Is there a way to attach an XSL sheet to this so that I
can both query and format the data.

make sure it's <BR /> though or it won't parse :-)

I don't know if this will help but I have used <BR> instead of and
that seems to work and it doesn't displace the cell so it shouldn't effect
the rest of the table.

Try using the code instead of the entity name. It works fine for me:
