cocoon and ajax url path

Hi, I'm trying to use a ajax function to load an xml...the function is one that is frequently used/presented in ajax tutorials:

function loadXMLDoc(url) 
{
    // branch for native XMLHttpRequest object
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
        req = new XMLHttpRequest();
        req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange;
        req.open("GET", url, true);
        req.send(null);
    // branch for IE/Windows ActiveX version
    } else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
        req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
        if (req) {
            req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange;
            req.open("GET", url, true);
            req.send();
        }
    }
}


this pretty much works on static sites in html but as I am using cocoon, I am having problem giving the url of the xml...
in xslt i am using something like this to load an xml or to display a certain value from an xml:

document(concat('cocoon:/','preview','/',folder1/folder2/,file.xml))/root/node

but in ajax if try calling loadXMLDoc(cocoon:/preview/folder1/folder2/file.xml) surely enough it doesn't work. So has anyone had similar problem and found any solution? 10x

Hello Steven and Vaduvoiu.

Your solution is right but hey, wouldn't you like to let Cocoon do this dirty job of constructing proper url? Service-servlet framework 
functionality gives you necessary tools to ask Cocoon exactly for this. See http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/cdocs-forms/g1/1351.html in 
order to get idea how it works and simplifies things.

Ok, now you can be pretty sure that my e-mail is just plain advertisement for Cocoon 2.2 features but I couldn't resist... :-)

'cocoon:' is a pseudo-protocol ( as are some others like resource: &  
zip: ) -- it is only
known internal to cocoon. Your browser knows how to http: or ftp: but  
it doesn't know how
to cocoon: ( and AJAX is client side javascript. )

You can use the request input module to get scheme, serverName,  
serverPort and contextPath
to build a base url in the sitemap and pass it as a parameter to be  
used as a prefix to the URLs
in place of the 'cocoon:' .
