multi-part forms
I'm looking over documentation on cocoon and can't find anything that
deals with handling multi-part forms. Specificly, I'd like to be able to
upload an XLS file, use POI to convert to XML, then mess with it a bit.
So, as far as I can tell, there are two part I might have to write, the
multi-part form handling, and the XSL->XML part. Two questions about
that... looks lke XSP is used to process forms. Is there anything I can
put in a pipeline that will turn form parameters into XML? (some
generator?) Should something that converts XSL->XML be a generator? I
know POI generates SAX events, which means it can be a generator, but,
how would it get the multi-part form data on the input side? It would be
nice not to need a temporary file...
Thanks in advance,
David

On multipart forms see
http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=FileUploadsWithCocoon
in addition, there's an upload example included with the database
samples.

There are a lot actions related to forms around. Have a look at the
XMLForms stuff for example. Don't know how that behaves with uploads,
though.

One - not necessarily good - way would be to write an input module
that calls POI, operates on another module (i.e. raw request
parameters) and returns a DOM. But since you plan to use XSL on the
output (?) it might not make sense.
Perhaps the best way is indeed to write a generator and call it in an
extra pipeline.
