File output with cocoon

[Roland <ro...@les-imaginaires.fr>]

Hi,
I'm rather new to cocoon and java so my question may be stupid.
Is it possible to output results of a cocoon process to a file. What I want
to do is a web interface for authors to modify the XML files on a site. This
means some users will be able to modify contents with their browser provided
they 've got the correct authentication.

Just tell me if it's pôssible and where to lok at to find a solution.

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure on this (I'm a cocoon2 peep, rather than 1.x), but
I believe there's a widget for generating a single file at a time in
cocoon 1.x. Cocoon2 will have a full offline generation interface, with
a bit of luck (Pier? hows it going?! want a more up to date patch?! ;)

If you're aiming to trigger the regeneration from a webpage, you might
be able to do this from XSP, but I can't see the API docs because
apache's webserver appears to have died (um. slightly embarasingly).

I *think* Donald wrote the offline code in Cocoon 1.x, so hopefully he
can help more...

It's not, but don't let that worry you - or any other newbies/lurkers *8-)

This has sparked a thought about something I've been thinking about for a
while - a web based xml authoring system, running through Cocoon - anyone
got any ideas - holometabolous people, anyone?

We could call it SPIN  (Sorry can't resist the tagline - ' SPIN the web
using Cocoon!! ' *8-)
