Using Values in the XML in the Pipeline

["Stewart, Gary" <Ga...@luht.scot.nhs.uk>]

This is probably a long shot as I haven't seen it mentioned in the documentation. Is it possible to get a particular value from a transform, say, and use that in the pipeline. Say I've got a transform that results in the XML:

<returnid>
 <primary_guid>86E72DC6-7EDA-47F2-8A3F-D2DA7E121EF0</primary_guid>
</returnid>

I want to use that to either generate a using a resource call or to do a redirect (I've taken into account the redirection in pipelines note; http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/redirection.html). Passing that value to fetch a document (I can do that in a cinclude though so it can be part of the same pipe without starting a new generate). 

It would be handy to do but my current solution would be to transform to a cinclude based on that returned document structure and carry on the pipeline to get the intended end result.

Thanks,

Gary

I think you should use XMLFile Module[1]. Just add to your cocoon.xconf
<component-instance 
class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.XMLFileModule" 
logger="core.modules.xml" name="primary_guid">
<file src="cocoon:/PrimaryGuidPipe"/>
</component-instance>

Then in your second pipeline you can use everywhere you want, for example:
<map:generate src="something_{primiary_guid:/returnid/primary_guid}.xml"/>
<map:transform type="xslt" src="something.xsl">
<map:parameter name="guid" value="{primiary-guid:/returnid/primary_guid}"/>
</map:transform>
[..]

Hope this helps.
