Help using xmodule

[Hugh Sparks <hu...@csparks.com>]

In my application, I need to send a large xml DOM thing back
to the pipeline from flowscript. To simplify the question, I
created a short but tested example:

In flowscript, I create a doc from a string and try to send it back:

 var str = "<test>This is a test</test>" ;
 var parser = 
cocoon.getComponent(Packages.org.apache.excalibur.xml.dom.DOMParser.ROLE);
 var reader = new Packages.java.io.StringReader(str) ;
 var source = new Packages.org.xml.sax.InputSource(reader) ;
 var doc = parser.parseDocument(source);
 cocoon.releaseComponent(parser);
 cocoon.sendPage("makedomReply", {message: doc}) ;

In the sitemap:

 <map:match pattern="makedomReply">
         <map:generate src="xmodule:flow-attr:message"/>
         <map:serialize type="xml"/>
 </map:match>

Browser error:

 org.xml.sax.SAXException: The object type: class java.lang.String
 could not be serialized to XML: This is a test

>From the stacktrace and source code, it is clear that XModuleSource.toSAX
got a java String instead of the Document I tried to send.

Using module with a plain javascript string works without an error:

 doc = "<test>This is a test</test>" ;
 cocoon.sendPage("downloadReply", {message: doc}) ;

 <map:match pattern="downloadReply">
         <map:generate src="module:flow-attr:message"/>
         <map:serialize type="xml"/>
 </map:match>

I guess I'm confused about what xmodule is supposed to deal
with. Or perhaps I'm not making the dom object correctly.

Thanks to all and greetings to the list,
