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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
