RE: Forms and maps
Mika It all depends on your environment and the rate of change. There are many back-end systems (running on old but reliable technology) that hardly change at all. However, the web (and now tablets/mobile) has a very high rate of change (and expectation of change). The point here is that by using more loosely-coupled modules then you will only have to change the parts that really need to be changed; a monolithic approach is less amenable to that. Derek (And yes, of course, we are all helping to ensure that there are more - not less - jobs in future!) 04/18/12 11:25 AM Absolutely. But trying to stay on the edge of the trends won't fit for us all. And continous rewriting of apps doesn't make any sense. Why on earth we can't create something that would last at least a decade? Half of us would be out of jobs? - mika - On Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:50:37 +0200, gelo1234 wrote: I totally agree with Robby's opinion. The trend is to use HTML5 on the client side in case of Web apps. Greetings, Greg 18-04-2012 10:27, Robby Pelssers napisał(a): Just my 2 cents on this topic... Cocoon forms was at the time in my eyes a pretty awesome solution to build highly dynamic forms with support for continuations. But as we all know this puts considerable strain on the server side. Gradually we started seeing a tendency towards AJAX (XmlHttpRequests) which is a fancy word for: - no complete page refresh - partial re-rendering of page - only fetching the minimal amount of data - let the browser do the heavy lifting This trend is evolving even further now with Websockets. One could easily say that the same discussions hold for database related technologies. Hibernate was the big revelation, a super abstraction over RDBMS dialects. It greatly reduces portability but it just doesn't always do the right thing (e.g. performance wise) so some people reverted back to plain jdbc wrappers. XSP was very convenient but it allows developers to mix controller / view which is now seen as a bad habit. Avalon was the way forward to configure your components at the time and next dependency injection became the most hyped buzzword. Spring framework and google juice came into play. I guess it's a matter of taste and the willingness to move forward. All (web)frameworks and technologies move forward (willingly or not): - new JDK - newer versions of dependencies - Ant -- maven - ... Recently there were some rants against XSLT (http://www.snoyman.com/blog/2012/04/xslt-rant.html [2] ). Just try transforming XML from your most favorite programming language and you might be in for a surprise. Surely XSLT takes a lot of typing but also XSLT is evolving just as XQuery is. I can only advise to take a good look around and find the best match for your requirements. If that is all about building dynamic forms wicket might be a good fit. Cocoon still is and certainly will be for the near future the best choice for transforming XML.

When C2.2 was published, I fell off the wagon because of techical differences. C3 knocked me out for good. If you think of the user coming from C2.1 environment who has get used to utilize flowscript, templates, cforms, xsp etc and think of him/her trying to get accustomed in C3, I think the least one can say is that he/she will be totally in a faint.

I think many of us have moved on. Cocoon changed into a direction that did not fit our style of working, and the rest of the world came up with new ideas and approaches that did. I wrote my take on this here: http://headspace.posterous.com/end-of-the-road-for-cocoon http://headspace.posterous.com/djangowards-at-the-crossroads and if you look around, others have commented in the mailing lists and blogs too. Of course, if Cocoon seems the best fit for your needs, please use it - conversely, please don't rush off directly to start using Rails just because its cool.

Re: Starting out with Cocoon 2.2
Personally, I would think that Cocoon 2.1 is the most well-developed and stable of the series. 2.0 is really out-of-date. 2.2 might be worth tackling if you're prepared to learn the associated frameworks such as Spring and Hibernate, plus be prepared to do Java coding; but, as many others have pointed out, the documentation is not adequate (not that this problem is unique to 2.2, as you will see by trawling through the dim-and-distant archives). David Beasley david.beas...@publishingtechnology.com 09/10/09 6:46 PM Thanks for everyone's responses. I'm beginning to think that I should use Cocoon 2.0, because at least I know this is well documented. Which is a shame after people have put a lot of effort into developing versions 2.1 and 2.2 ... David Legg wrote: Most of the useful documentation can be found here: - http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/dev-docs/2.2/1159_1_1.html Thanks, yes, I'd already looked at that. Its a handy starting point, but it really only scratches the surface. But you should be aware that this is the 'published' version of the documentation. It may be the case that the 'unpublished' versions are more up to date. To get to them you can click on the link at the bottom of the page where it mentions 'Errors and Improvements'. This link will take you to the Daisy CMS which is what Cocoon members use to write and edit documentation before it gets published. Thanks, I've taken a look. I can see that there's low level documentation there, but not much to give me an overview, put things into context, show how everything hangs together. I would say think seriously before you commit another year or two of your life to learning it! Do you really think that's how long it takes to become proficient in using Cocoon?! I was hoping to knock this off in a few weeks.

RE: REPOST: Queries in Cocoon 2.1.11 not working withASprotocol?
Robby I understand. But, as I said before, the same application is currently running fine on both the Windows machine and the existing Linux server. It is partially working on Cocoon 2.1.11 on the new Linux machine. i.e. the app works OK except for the strange transformer result I detailed below; the only difference I can see seems to be the Cocoon version.

This was due to the fact that my file had two capital letters and in my sitemap I referred to Sometransformer.xslt. on windows this will work so you don't spot the error in time ;-( The same goes for (SQL) tables, columns etc. Your queries run like a charm on windows until you deploy your app on a unix environment. Luckily you'll be able to spot these kinds of mistakes quickly if you keep this in mind. My advise is to use consistently lowercase for your tables/columns so you'll never run into these issues.

Subject: Re: Map serialize flowscript output
2009/5/12 Christian Decker decker.christ...@gmail.com:
Hi everybody,
I've created a transformer for the sitemap that takes a GXL file as input
and then applies layout algorithm and then passes the resulting graph on as
SVG image. It all works fine, but now I wanted to use JX to fill in a
template that would then be transformed and serialized, but I can't get it
to work. Apparently the pages I send back with cocoon.sendPage are not
transformed.
Long story short: I have the following matcher:
map:match pattern=project.svg
map:call function=projectGraph
map:parameter name=screenURI value=screen/screens/project-graph /
map:parameter name=projectID value=1 /
/map:call
map:transform type=gxl2svgTransformer/
map:serialize type=svgxml/
/map:match
But this just prints me the filled in template instead of feeding it into
the gxl2svgtransformer. The transformers work fine as I already tested them
with a simple generate tag. The flowscript sends pages using
cocoon.sendPage( cocoon.parameters[ screenURI ], {project :project,
dao :dao} );
Somehow I think I got the sitemap concept wrong. Somebody got an idea?
With the cocoon.sendPage you're passing the request processing on to
the pipeline that matches screenURI. In that pipeline you should do
the svg serialisation.

Hi,
is the following allowed (in flow):
var data = ..;
var form = new Form(cocoon://make-form.jx, { data : data } );
The idea is to automatically generate a form definition from given data
with jx:forEach. The data object doesn't seem to be passed on.
The make-form.jx actually does exactly what it is supposed to do. I
tested this with
var data = .;
cocoon.sendPage(make-form.jx, { data : data } );
and this gives me the right form definition.
If
new Form(cocoon://make-form.jx, { data : data } );
is not possible, what would be the alternative?

Multi-select fields: items not appearing in form widget
Working with Cocoon 2.1.8. Not sure exactly which component is the root of this problem, but... If I define a multi-select list thus: fd:multivaluefield id=Grouping fd:labelGroups/fd:label fd:hintThe groups which have access/fd:hint fd:datatype base=integer/ fd:selection-list src=cocoon:/db/grouping dynamic=true/ /fd:multivaluefield And show it thus: ft:widget id=Grouping fi:styling list-type=double-listbox style=width:200px listbox-size=12 fi:available-labelAvailable Groups/fi:available-label fi:selected-labelSelected Groups/fi:selected-label /fi:styling /ft:widget The form is displayed and works normally. When trying to use the form to add a new item, the initial (right-hand) selection list is empty. If I use the button to select an item from the left-hand list of choices, it shows up in the right-hand side list as expected. BUT, directly after form submission, the form model has no record of the value selected i.e. model.Grouping is null; and model.Grouping.length is 0. However, if, immediately after making the selection, I then click on the item (that has just appeared) in the right-hand list, then model.Grouping *does* contain the selected item. Surely this is a bug? Can anyone else reproduce it? How can I fix it?

Re: XSLT is Dead ?!
The main reason (speaking as a user) I think XSP was deprecated is that it does not fit well with the cocoon mantra of 'separation of concerns' i.e. too easy to mix in markup and code in one place (not that you have to, of course). I also used ESQ/XSP for my early DB apps, but I really find that the flowscript, plus the SQLTransformer does all that, with the added advantage (to me) of no Java being needed. Login is pretty simple with the built-in functions. Of course, these days its all Spring+Hibernate ... maybe one day I will take the giant leap needed for that!!

I have been using Cocoon since 1.0.8 (I think) ... those were the times with processing-instructions, plain-xsp and no sitemap whatsoever and have used it in a number of projects very successfully. Currently I am considering using other frameworks for my newer projects though. 1. Starting a large and complex Cocoon project without a local Cocoon-Guru is very dangerous. 2. There are so many components involved in serving a response, that it's sometimes impossible to track errors back to the cause. 3. Even if I may be able to find these problems, it turns out that in larger projects I'm the only one permanently sorting out the problems, because I'm the only one able to find them (There is a really big difference between being able to solve a task using Cocoon and to understanding how Cocoon thinks) ... so I end up solving problems while all the others do the cool and fun stuff. 4. It is almost impossible to find employees that are willing and able to withstand the increasingly steep learning curve. I end up assisting them more time than they save me. So from a financial point of view this is not very good. 5. The step from Cocoon 2.x to Cocoon 2.2 was at least as challenging as the step from 1.x to 2.x (from my point of view). Even if you have a full understanding of Cocoons internals, the Maven build-process, the maven-plugins needed and the changes in the project-structures gave me the impression of relearning the entire thing from scratch. I had to try setting up a Cocoon 2.2 project 4-5 times until I finally managed to understand what I was doing (Most of the examples available only tell you what to do and not why). I have to admit that I have done Projects with Cocoon on my own, which I probably wouldn't have ben able to achieve using 4-5 Employees in the same time. I have done Projects with 4-5 Employees and ended up in supporting and coaching them with almost the same result als if I would have done it alone. On the bottom line, for me Cocoon is great for doing middle-sized projects on my own, because I am very familiar with the whole thing. As soon as the Project size exceeds my own working capacity and I need to do the Project with several people, I won't use Cocoon any more. Perhaps someday there will be a good Book on Cocoon 2.2 as the one done by Stephan Niedermeier which would enable me to tell my employees Here Read this and let me work ;-) ...

Furthermore it does a great job concerning the separation of concerns. Now I come the point. What I did not like on Cocoon was the way XSLT was used to render the final output. Therefore I developed XSLTg (an XML template engine) that centres the XML template by supporting full standard XSLT/XPATH 2.0. I took me some time to publish a documentation that is up to date. Now you can find it under http://www.xsltg.com. I am convinced that XSLTg solves many of the problems addressed in the article. Please have a look and let me know what you think about and if http://www.xsltg.com may be able to become a part of Cocoon. Many thanks in advance Raffaele PS: Be warned, my English is not really the best. Improvements are welcome, I will be happy to clarify any obscurities. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Derek Hohls [mailto:dho...@csir.co.za] Gesendet: Freitag, 24.

Re: newbie to Cocoon
Harry AFAIK, the CDHB deals with Cocoon 2.1, so make sure that is the version you are working with. Main website is here: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/ Tutorials here: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/tutorial/index.html And the best place to learn (well, it was for me) is by looking at the examples that Cocoon ships with, and then starting to tweak/customize them until something breaks - then you will start to ask questions and Find Things Out.

Refreshing selected items in multi-select field?
Using Cocoon 2.1.8 I am working with a multi-select field (B) in an AJAX-enabled form. The items in the list is filtered by changes in a previous field (A) i.e not all possible items are shown in B at one time. The first time the form is displayed; when A is changed, then B displays those items that the user had previously selected *from that subset* with highlights as expected. However, when the user changes the value of A and a new sub-set of items is displayed in B, then any previous selections (by previous, I mean saved into the DB on a previous occasion) made from that subset are not highlighted. Even going back to the first A selection does not help; no selected items are ever again highlighted in B (unless the form is closed and reopened of course). Where and how do I need to add code to produce the expected behavior?

Re: Getting started with C2.2 -- where's the exception information?
Andreas No; I did not say that I thought 2.1 *was* unsupported, just that I hoped it would not be. Believe me, I do really appreciate the generous effort and commitment from the experts that helps out those of who do not get all the nuances as quickly. I also did not take any offence - the Cocoon mailing list is actually one of the most amazingly friendly and non-critical lists I know; we all have our little rants from time-to-time, but everyone takes it calmly and no one overreacts. Finally its good to see that projects are/have been making use of 2.2; that will help shake out the bugs and hopefully build towards some solid docs for it. I am especially looking forward to more of the migrating from 2.1 stories and documents (which is where I suspect many are or might be going); as well as other entry-level cases round Maven and the like. For me, I am very happy that Cocoon has such a solid development team who have a clear direction for it.

We (the Lenya community) are certainly going to need it for another couple of years, so we'll be bound to maintain it.

However, there is also such a thing as a legacy application; while you (or others) might think that languages such as COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal etc are dead, I can almost guarantee you there are millions of lines of code in those tools being written or maintained every year (C# notwithstanding). There are many of us who have been using Cocoon for many years now, and I would really hate to think we'll just be dumped because some new ideas or support frameworks have emerged. Personally, I'd also like to see the documentation develop and mature a little more - there are certainly *lots* of getting started questions in the ML about 2.2 - and a book or half would also provide some reassurance that a solid new ship is ready for all types of sailors. So yes, I am prepared to learn - no doubt I will have to - but it does not yet feel the right time for what appears to require a significant upheaval.

was here:

map:generate src=forms/{1}_defn.xml type=jx
/map:match
as I already I had a match for generating the form (the

Hi Derek,
How do you call your flowscript in the sitemap?
One way you could implement this:

---
!--
{1} formname
{2} state

map:match pattern=db/forms/*/*
map:call function=createform
map:parameter name=formname value={1}/

var formname = cocoon.parameters.formname;
var state = cocoon.parameters.state;
cocoon.sendPage(db/formtemplate/ + formname,

}
From your flowscript you create the form:
var editCountryDataForm = new Form(cocoon:/db/forms/country/output);

Using Cocoon 2.1.8

And generating it thus via the pipeline:
map:match pattern=db/forms/*
map:generate src=forms/{1}_defn.xml type=jx
And in the country_defn.xml (form) file I have:

But the state value never shows up at all in the resulting form,
even when using different values in the flowscript, and the

You may be correct; but I have never felt that Cocoon was striving for acceptance. It simply is what it is; and you either find it incredibly powerful and useful ... or become a mainstream php/ruby developer. If you are here, its because you have taken the road (development route?!) less traveled!

Cocoon 2.1.8 Forms + AJAX : cocoon is not defined
With respect to the previous thread: http://marc.info/?l=xml-cocoon-usersm=123243320521118w=2 I took the approach I planned; i.e. start with a working version from the sample and gradually add in my changes until done. Now I have a working sample in a test directory of my Cocoon instance (2.18.)

(In the original working version, this error does not appear) This does not appear to prevent the AJAX aspect of the form working properly in Firefox - though the page will load but not display at all in IE - and I also get a onsubmit was called twice when I click on the OK.

Modifying the forms stylesheets
Working with Cocoon 2.1.8 Are there any guidelines for modifying the forms styling sheets such that the AJAX-enabled aspects remain intact. I have done some heavy styling modifications, which work fine for normal Cocoon forms, but they don't seem compatible with this approach. Any ideas?

Re: Cocoon 2.1.8 Forms + AJAX : cocoon is not defined [SOLVED]
Solved!
The forms usage in the working application was in a nested pipeline
because of authorisation requirements:
map:match pattern=foo/**
...
map:match pattern=foo/forms/*
etc.
But my resources link was located outside of this nested pipe:
map:match pattern=resources/*/**
map:read
src=resource://org/apache/cocoon/{1}/resources/{2}/
/map:match
and as soon as I added them back in:
map:match pattern=foo/resources/*/**
map:read
src=resource://org/apache/cocoon/{1}/resources/{2}/
/map:match
things worked just fine.
In retrospect, André had pointed out something like this a while back:
http://marc.info/?l=xml-cocoon-usersm=122405789617000w=2
but somehow I did not connect my error message with his response.
Oh well, this post may help someone else at sometime!

RE: Cocoon 2.1.8 Forms + AJAX : Final call for help!
Gary
I am sure that they are - as I said previously, I think the issue is in
the heavily customized forms stylesheet that I am using.
Looks like I will have to start al over again with the working sample,
and gradually add in my changes - when it breaks I will have an idea
exactly what is different about the way I have done styling vs how it is
done in the samples. I am not sure how fragile this whole construct
is, but clearly its *not* a matter of simply adding in a few tags
lines of Javascript (which is what I had hoped when I first posted!).

So far, I have managed to extract the small sample that comes with Cocoon, dealing with car make selection, and put it into its own directory, and get it to work. Small modifications cause problems though - with dialog box messages like no xml answer not really providing me with a clue as to what the real problem it! I also cannot get my existing site setup - with heavily customized page layout, form styling and a form template layout that seems quite different from the sample one (?) - to work (for example, the transformed page does not have all the resources loaded into the page header). If anyone has an app that is *not* part of the standard Cocoon suite, showing how the form styling can be customized, I would really love to see it. Failing that, if anyone can spell out *exactly* what resources are needed to make AJAX work in Cocoon forms - by this I mean files, directories, site map entries etc. etc. (and even specific code snippets in files - as its obvious that my customized form styling is missing some vital element/s), I would really, really appreciate it. Otherwise I guess I will have to write off another week of my life to Cocoon :( Thanks Derek -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright terms and conditions, e-mail legal notice, and implemented Open Document Format (ODF) standard.

Hi Derek
Well I can help you with the resources ;-)
They are located in jar-files. Depending on the resources you are using
Cocoon-forms-block.jar: org.apache.cocoon.forms.resources.*
Dojo-rsrc-xxx.jar: org.apache.cocoon.dojo.rerources.*
I usually make them available using the following pipeline:
map:match pattern=**_cocoon/resources/*/**
map:select type=resource-exists
map:when test=resources/{2}/{3}
map:read src=resources/{2}/{3}/
/map:when
map:when test=resource://{2}/{3}
map:read src=resource://{2}/{3}/
/map:when
map:otherwise
map:read
src=resource://org/apache/cocoon/{2}/resources/{3}/
/map:otherwise
/map:select
/map:match
This way I can override the resources in the jars with my alternate
implementations.
Hope this helps.

Betreff: AJAX in CForms... not that simple?!
I have been working with Cocoon + CForms for a while now,
but now have to deal with some more complex processing
requirements. I had thought this would be a simple matter,
but alas not...
Issue 1. I have heavily customized stylesheets that I use for
form display. Going back to the default stylesheets is problematic.
Issue 2. Locating the resources? This message:
http://marc.info/?l=xml-cocoon-usersm=111323898129449w=2
(and others) refer to the WEB-INF/classes/org//forms/resources
directory.
This I simply cannot find. I have
WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/cocoon/forms
but no resources directory in sight.
I have tried to copy use the various files directly from the Cocoon
installation files... but to no avail.
In the end, I have tried to create a small test app, based on the car
selector sample, with details as shown below.
Although the form displays just fine, it does not exhibit any of the
dynamic behavior of the original sample. Comparison of the source code
of the two web pages shows them to be the same!
What (probably obvious) element/s am I missing?
Thanks

Re: AJAX in CForms... not that simple?!

Thanks, but this does not seem to make any difference.
Any chance you have a simple/test application, where the
resources are explicitly broken out in the way I have done?
Alternately, are there any hints you can give me on how to
make an AJAX form that does not make of use the default form
stylesheets that are buried in the .jar cocoon blocks?

I'm afraid i have to say the same thing about migrating regular
CForms
to Ajax CForms. I've had a hard time and had to rewrite some stuff like
stylesheets.
Anyway, i think it's worth the effort :-).
Most of resources are located in .jar cocoon blocks. They must be
correctly matched in your sitemap :
map:pipeline id=_cocoon
map:match pattern=_cocoon/resources/*/**
map:select type=resource-exists
map:when test=resources/{1}/{2}
map:read src=resources/{1}/{2}/
/map:when
map:otherwise
map:read src=resource://org/apache/cocoon/{1}/resources/{2}/
/map:otherwise
/map:select
/map:match
/map:pipeline

André

I see URLs in a more semantic way now after following the workings of the semantic web crowd. Another simple example occurs with images. We don't really need to note the fact that an image is in gif format by stating that in a URL. Times change and it may be that for legal reasons you can no longer use GIF format at all on your site and you have to use PNG instead. So all those URL references to mylogo.gif have now got to change. Whereas if you had supplied a url of /images/mylogo the change would be invisible and the URL could remain unchanged.

Re: How to force a Save As prompt?
Dave Before getting into detail, I'd like to say that I do agree in principle with what you said below. My real issue probably lies in the fact that I have been around computers too long. If I look at archives of my files from the early 90's; when DOS still reigned supreme, I see names like birthday.inv and new-pc.mem and tax91.let. We had WordPerfect back then and I used the file extension to indicate what type of document it was. Both the program and I were happy - and neither had to pretend that the file extension indicated what type of _application_ was needed to open that file! The dawn of M$ Windows and its office sweet, along with long file names, led us down the road of the file extension is reserved by the OS so it knows what to do with the file. Its only now, as I come to Linux, that I realize what a distortion that was. A name is just a name - the real issue is what is in the file?. Its a bit like meeting someone, who because he is wearing a suit and tie, you assume is a manager (in fact, he turns out to be the cleaner on the way to his daughters's wedding!).The unfortunate side-effect of the dominance of IE as a browser is that it too has inherited this annoyance from its siblings; this despite the fact that the Internet is the most heterogenous computing environment that exists, and its more than likely that a . in the context of the web means something quite different from the context of one's OS. When I look at the suggested syntax for REST-based URLs, the authors seem to have the same way of thinking - an example is mydomain.com/hotels/hawaii/list/all - which we would assume returns a list of all hotels in Hawaii. But is this really different in meaning from mydomain.com/hotels.hawaii.list.all - would anyone looking at this (excluding a Windows application) really think they are getting some strange all file? Are either of these URLs better or more generic - I think not. The bottom line - I want my . back - in fact, I want all of them back! :) Derek PS The answer to your question of Microsoft Word file is - neither!The existing URL (poor though it might be) is still a valid one and should be kept. Ideally it should also keep delivering the M$ file since that is what the users are expecting. I might publish a new URL called:http://myorg.org/importantdocs/thisweek.xml or, perhaps better, http://myorg.org/importantdocs/thisweek or even http://myorg.org/importantdocs/thisweek/xml (if I am going to be all RESTy) and deliver the new document via this address. (Of course, I would pursue a parallel course persuading my readers to switch to the new address... and yes, in time, eventually deprecate the old one in some way). The point here is that a URL, especially a widely accessed one, should be able to remain in place if possible, but that this has little to do with a supposed extension appearing in the name. PPS I do agree with pretty much everything in the W3C doc - except for the notion that the . has some special meaning - well, it might to M$, but in the context of designing a URI it is neither here or there (see above example for the REST service).

It's not specific to Cocoon. I only mentioned that because Cocoon's sitemap makes it particularly easy to map a URL without an extension to some content. So in general, it is not a good idea to include extensions in a URL if you want that URL to be useful for a long time to come. The extension may contain implementation specific details which may not always be true. It's generally considered better to publish a generic URL and then let the browser use content negotiation to determine whether it can accept that content. For example, what if your organization regularly published an important document as a Microsoft Word file (*.doc) and published it on your site with a URL of: http://myorg.org/importantdocs/thisweek.doc That's great and you would probably bookmark it and everything would be fine... until your organization decided to move with the times and publish it as a styled xml document. Now you have a dilemma... do you change the url so it contains a .xml extension and risk losing your loyal followers (whose bookmarks no longer work) or do you keep the same url which ends in .doc but is actually an xml file? A great resource for all this is the W3C's own Cool URIs [1] page. There are a lot of other url advocates out there like this one [2]. I suppose though, if you are talking about downloads this might all be a bit academic. After all if you want to download an executable file the chances are it will remain in the same format forever... but you should at least spend half a second

So if your url ends in .html you are ok, but if it ends in no extension (something which is considered good practice in Cocoon) it will sniff the file content and use that to decide what to do with the downloaded file. It would be interesting to know if anyone else has come across this issue with IE7.

RE: javascript embedded in *.jx files
Not that strange when you consider what is happening.
In your web page you have the entry src=js/myPageScript.js
This essentially becomes a request to the server to find and return
data from the js/myPageScript.js URI. The web server in turn passes
that request through to the application - in this case, Cocoon - which
must be able to handle it. Cocoon's primary decision handling framework
is the sitemap. So every request, or type of request, that Cocoon is
going to get must have a corresponding entry somewhere in it.
In short, the answer is yes!

I think the main reason was I couldn't figure out how to correctly point to
where the script was. I kept getting file not found errors in the output.
Is there a matcher in your sitemap for the javascript file. Something like
map:match pattern=*.js !-- request for myscript.js or myscript1.js --
map:read src=js/{1}.js/ !-- actual script is located inside the js

/map:match

Re: how to implement back button functionality from within a flow script
Paul The short answer is, AFAIK, probably no. That said, I am sure there are some flowscript gurus who might show a way to do this with continuations? The right answer might be don't i.e. if a user has changed an item in a list, why take him back to a previous version of the list which will not show his changes? An alternative longer answer might be that you need to use some clever browser-side Javascript to manipulate the list values *inside the page it is displayed* (i.e. do not send the user off to a new page with another form) to make it appear like an instant change while, in the background, you use AJAX to send off the changed value. Without knowing more about the specifics of where you get the data from, where it goes to, and how it is validated etc. its not possible to flesh this out further.

Re: Simple cocoon distribution
Ditto from me. Not a major Java user. XSLT + Flowscript + the standard Cocoon components should handle 95% of all website needs. If I can use C2.2 without major investment in learning new development and programming tools, I will consider upgrading. Suggest that, if possible, you get support buy-in from the developers - then this could become part of the standard distro; making it a plus for other new users who need a jump start route.

Re: Passing a node-set from XSLT to Java
Andy I think you stumbled across one of the gotchas of XML; what looks simple and obvious is not always - at least, not to a machine. For more in-depth understanding of XML, I can recommend Ken Sall to explain it. There is a sample chapter from his book on-line: http://wdvl.internet.com/Authoring/Languages/XML/XMLFamily/XMLSyntax/ For example; see: http://wdvl.internet.com/Authoring/Languages/XML/XMLFamily/XMLSyntax/sall2_4.html where he explicitly says: In contrast to HTML, in which a sequence of white space characters is collapsed into a single white space and in which newlines are ignored, in XML all white space is taken literally.

Re: Tags in the value of an XSLT variable?
Andy This is confusing. In your original post, you said you wanted to: capture a tree fragment in the value of variable ... including the tags themselves This is now what you have. I am also not sure how you differentiate between a Node Tree vs a String. At the end, XML is just plain text. The fact that it has pointy brackets in it is because we assume that the processing software will be able to make use of it. So I think the answer lies in the Java code you have written - if it treats the incoming variable as just having plain text, then the brackets should make no difference. Maybe you need to expand more on what you want to happen on the Java side (tho' that is probably outside my scope of expertise) Derek On 2008/06/30 at 01:15, in message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Andrew Chamberlain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Betty/Derek, Thanks for getting back.

to get each widget. I now need to pre-select some values for
all of the multi-value widgets. (Note that the widget below has a
datatype of string).
Approach 1 is what I *think* is correct; Approach 2 I know is
wrong but it does confirm that the widget I am accessing is
a MultiValueField.
Any ideas as to how to make this work properly?
Thanks
Derek
(Side note: if I omit this step, the rest of the form displays
as expected, and values for other widget types are set OK.)
Approach 1:
var values = java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(java.lang.String,
10);
values[0] = Option 1;
fwidget.setValue(values); //NB also tried fwidget.setValues(values);
Result 1:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.MultiValueField.setValues
(MultiValueField.java:190)
at org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.MultiValueField.setValue
(MultiValueField.java:180)
...
Approach 2:
fwidget.setValue(Option 1);
Result 2:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot set value of field q-25--6
with an object of type java.lang.String
at org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.MultiValueField.setValue
(MultiValueField.java:182)

Re: REPOST: Database connection overload
Johannes This was my thought too. I have numerous modules functions that open (and should close!) connections. On manual inspection they all seem to be OK, but possibly there is one somewhere which is not correct. Hence my need to try and prevent this; or have the system in some way report exactly when where this is happening so I can fix the offending code. Any ideas on how to do this?

Re: REPOST: Database connection overload

Thanks for the detailed insight into issues. I had hoped to avoid
patching hundreds of functions. but I guess its inevitable.
Would a function like the following be able to avoid the problem
I have been having:
function accessDB() {
try {
//get connection
//do stuff...
//close connection
//return result
} catch(e) {
cocoon.log.error (Unable to complete function accessDB);
return null;
}
}
(I'm not sure how this will ensure the connection is closed?)
Thanks

I am not aware of any method which would allow one to inspect the
current state of the pool. Perhaps the best way would be to log any
opening and closing of connections, including the name of the component
which uses them, and scan the log files for connections which are not
correctly closed. The problem is in the design itself (opening and
closing JDBC connections in several places scattered around the
application) which makes such applications a mess to debug (been through
it myself).
A common source for this problem is when error messages get thrown which
interrupt the execution of the flow script. Unless you use something
like the OpenSessionInViewFilter which gets rid of this kind of problem,
in the case of an unexpected error your connections normally remain
open. This means that after 10 error messages or so your pool is
exhausted and you're stuck.
If you are not the kind of Java guy to implement the Open Session in
View Concept (which should work with JDBC connections too, not just
Hibernate Sessions), I'd recommend you use the try - catch - finally
idiom in *every* flowscript function which uses a JDBC connection.
Regards,
Johannes

Re: REPOST: Database connection overload

OK - and I assume the
} finally {
//close connection
}
won't throw an error if the connection is *not* open?
PS If there are any low entry barriers (i.e. not getting into Java,
or having to rewrite everything for Hibernate...) to improving this
approach, I would be very happy to hear about them.
Thanks

Derek,
you should use the power of the finally construct, which is also
available in JS:
function accessDB() {
try {
//get connection
//do stuff...
//return result
} catch(e) {
cocoon.log.error (Unable to complete function accessDB);
return null;
} finally {
//close connection
}
}
The finally block is meant to contain instructions which must *always*
be executed, no matter what happens in the try and catch blocks.
Regardless of that, having hundreds of different places where
connections are opened and closed in flowscript seems like a bad idea.

Johannes
