RSS

Hi,

 

I want to call a RSS feed. Is it possible for the style sheet to use the
XML document it is styling and the XML RSS feed. 

How would I set up my sitemap to do this? And how would I call the two
different XML files in my style sheet?

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Richard.

I understand (please try to formulate your exact question better in the 
future) that you want to use an RSS feed as a source. Your sitemap 
should consider something like this:

<map:match pattern="myfeed.html">
   <map:generate src="http://host/myfeed.rss"/>
   <map:transform src="mystylesheet.xsl"/>
   <map:serialize/>
</map:match>

when accessing this pipeline using http://host/cocoon/myfeed.html, 
Cocoon will read the RSS feed and apply the mystylesheet.xsl onto it, 
producing HTML (if that's what the stylesheet has been designed for).

I've recently written a (hopefully) layman's intro into Cocoon as a 
paper for a conference, maybe some of it makes sense to you: 
http://www.idealliance.org/europe/03/call/xmlpapers/02-01-05.14/.02-01-05.html

In case you want to really use the content of the RSS feed _inside_ your 
XSLT stylesheet (as a variable perhaps), you should use the XSLT 
document() function, for which you also can specify an URL as a source. 
But all in all, since you have choosen for Cocoon, you might as well use 
Cocoon aggregation or the various IncludeTransformers instead.

Hope this helps,

</Steven>

see http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#document

<xsl:apply-templates 
select="document('http://news.newsfeedsource.com/newsfeed.rss')/*"/>
or something like that.

also consider using XIncludeTransformer or CIncludeTransformer:

<document>
  <stuff/>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="http:// 
<http://www.reutershealth.com/eline.rdf>news.newsfeedsource.com/newsfeed.rss"/>
  <morestuff/>
</document>


<map:generate src="document.xml"/>
<map:transform type="xinclude"/>
<map:transform type="xsl" src="mystylesheet.xsl"/>
<map:serialize/>

I want to call a RSS feed. Is it possible for the style sheet to use the

How would I set up my sitemap to do this? And how would I call the two
