Read XML file from XSP

Hello!

Many thanks for your answer!

That's just what I have to do!
In the first version of my project, all requests are hard-coded inside 
the XSP file:
that works fine, but it must be hard to maintain.

For the second version i must generate the requests from an XML file.

I've already managed to show the user a dropdwon list with the 
requests' titles, through an XSL file :

<map:match pattern="java/req">
       <map:generate src="java/requetes.xml" />
        <map:transform src="java/req.xsl"/>
        <map:serialize type="html"/>
       </map:match>

Now i 'm supposed to  transfer the user's choice  to another page,
that must be generated by an XSP page,
since i have to use ESQL to access the Sybase db, and display the list 
of values for each field

That would be a nice solution :
so how can I make the xml usable by ESQL?

- Is there a special connection pool to build?
- Are there samples for this way of doing?

For this more professionnal way of doing ,
  is there a sample pipeline to convert plain xml
through  JXTemplateGenerator?


Deep in my heart i thank you for being so heplful.
I'm such a newbie in Cocoon,
but i'm so willing to make it  and have it work for good!

Matt.
