Hi out there.
system: redhat7.1|jdk1.3|tomcat3.2.2|cocoon1.8.2

question:
* i am developing an application which handles virtual representations of
physical displays. It is planned that each virtual display is kept in memory
as a DOM object.
* now my first and most import question =>is it possible to use cocoon in a
way that it is interfaced directly in my server-environment as a kind of
rendering engine for my virtual screen objects.
  - in more detail:
    * can i invoke cocoon without "requesting it via a client browser" but
directly from within my application
    * i want to produce html from the screen objects within the server
application and send the results (html) from cocoon process to my physical
detached display-clients

    * as i have read the cocoon specification i can see that the default
producer gets input from a file (file-producer)
      - this might be cool if you have your .xml files on a filesystem
      - but in my case i do not have any .xml files but i have already
DOM-objects in memory
      => so i see 2 possibilities:
         (1) the uncool: serialize the DOM objects to temporarly .xml files
and invoce cocoon with file-producer
         (2) the cool: write a producer which gets a DOM-object as input
      => OTHER question: when i already have a DOM object => do i need a
producer at all ???

  => can anybody give me a hint in the right direction ?

* or should i specify my problem in more detail ?

many thanks in advance,
greetings from vienna,

kaktus.
