Have a look on the FragmentExtractorTransformer + Generator. From what I 
understand it's exactly the thing you need.

Re: How to access Session/Request object inside Transformer class

Posted by Java Developer <de...@yahoo.com>.
Thanks for your mail, but I really couldn't figure out how to use it. 

Just wanna rephrase my requirement : 
Out of two pipeline calls, from the main pipeline, first pipeline 
serializes into image-jpeg, and the other pipeline renders the html
page. Since I didn't and don't know how to take output from one
pipeline whose mime-type is image/jpeg, into the other pipeline and
append the img tag and display this image in the html output of the
other pipeline. 

FYI : I found out that inside setup mthd of Transformer I can get hold
of request and since session object..like 

        this.request = ObjectModelHelper.getRequest(objectModel);

But as i said I m not very comfortable with this solution and want to
know if there is any well or not very well known approach to it ?


Thanks much ...

Hi Joerg, 

Thanks for the link, for the time being I have switched off the caching
for the generator.

Sorry for my non-reacting, but I'm a bit short on time at the moment. 
For the above mentioned problem there is a bug filed at 
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28724. It contains the 
reason for the behaviour, a general work around (don't use request 
parameters for differences between fragments) and also Sarah's specific 
work around to switch off caching.

Hope this helps for the moment,

Joerg

Hey Joerg, 
Thanks for your suggestion, I got rid of saving images for displaying
in my webapp. Got another problem with extractor..and after searching
in the mailing list i found this link 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=108193203317087&w=2 

I m also facing the same problem with getting fragment_id same for
different images, am using cocoon 2.1.4. 


Pls update if there is any patch available for the sae..or am I doing
anything wrong..
