Is Cocoon customizable ??

[Samuel Arnod-Prin <sa...@smile.ch>]

Hello,

I have got a simple question.. sorry for asking it.. but it would
decuplate my interest for coccon if the answer is positive.

I have seen that cocoon can transform xml document depending on
browser... I'm creating an extranet and I would like the transformation
to be depending on the user.
Will I be able to do that or not ?

Acutally, I intercept all requests to tomcat in a common servlet and
then I call my "loopback" server in which there would be cocoon to get
the transformed XML/XSP-document into HTML and then I mix the result
with navigable. components.

You certainly will in Cocoon2, and you should be able to do it using XSP
in Cocoon1.

Hi,

Extraterristical Network. Sounds great. Pls give the klingons some nice
greetings.

I think it is possible. But of course you have to provide different
stylesheets for the users (Groups) and use it together with

  <xsl:template match="page">

    <xsl:processing-instruction name="cocoon-process">
	type="xsp"
    </xsl:processing-instruction>

    <xsl:processing-instruction name="cocoon-process">
	type="xslt"
    </xsl:processing-instruction>

    <xsl:processing-instruction name="xml-stylesheet">
	href=<xsl:text>"</xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="@stylesheet"/><xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
	type="text/xsl"
    </xsl:processing-instruction>


    <xsp:page>

		and so on and so on.

where @stylesheet that is a parameter to page has to be somewhat
dynamically ;-). But this is somewhat tricky.
