Newbie! Embedded XML help...

["c.h.Ip" <ch...@alumni.cuhk.edu.hk>]

hi all,

Can I do to embed another XML with Cocoon's XSP?

There is a XML file:

question.xml
------------

<?xml version='1.0'>
<!-- cocoon,xsl-stylesheet tags are ommitted here.. -->
<assignment>
 <question id=1>
  <text>What is Cocoon?</text> 
 </question>
</assignment>

This XML is gone through a XSL stylesheet, becomes a HTML form
let user to enter some content (aka, the answer of the question)

When the user submit the form, I wish I can write a XML file (based
on the above XML file, with addition of user's answer) into filesystem
and NOT being transformed by any XSL, like the following:

submit.xml
----------
<?xml version='1.0'>
<!-- cocoon,xsl-stylesheet tags are ommitted here.. -->
<submittedpaper studentid='001'>
 <assignment>
  <question id=1>
   <text>What is Cocoon?</text> 
  </question>
 </assignment>
 <studentanswers>
  <question id=1>
   <text>This is something I don't familiar with</text>
  </question>
 </studentanswers>
</submittedpaper>

Where line 4-8 is the exact content of question.xml.

Can it be done using XSP, or should I write the raw servlet code for
this?

Very much thanks for help, I need to finish up this work quick...

You might want to look at XMLForm!

Try the XInclude processor or use the <util:include-uri> element. That
doesn't sound like what you're asking below though.

I've got a little something that might help you:

Jeremy Quinn and others on the mailing list are working on a more
comprehensive solution, but I don't think it's out of the planning stages
yet.
