thank you, very enlighting! :-D i think this is the answer to Soren Neigards problems with SAX yesterday!

Here's the xsp page: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsp:page language="java" xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp"; > <xsp:structure> <xsp:include>net.securinet.jbxsp.*</xsp:include> <xsp:include>org.apache.cocoon.environment.http.*</xsp:include> </xsp:structure> <xsp:logic> <![CDATA[ Jbxsp jbxsp; int id = -1;]]> </xsp:logic> <page> <xsp:logic> <![CDATA[ jbxsp = new Jbxsp ( (org.apache.cocoon.environment.http.HttpRequest )(request) , "com.jpmorgan.mih.intranet.example.SimpleSite"); jbxsp.toSAX(contentHandler); ]]> </xsp:logic> </page> </xsp:page> ************************** As you see, it includes my library (net.securinet.jbxsp.*) and the cocoon http environment stuff. It then instantiates a Jbxsp (java bean xsp) class with the name of the component class (SAX and DOM aware). The whole thing is then asked to toSAX itself. This causes the Jbxsp class to ask the named class to toSAX itself, which (as an awt container) asks its components to do the same - thus building the tree. In other words, in order to get a named component (or the main class you instantiate) to generate SAX (or DOM) events is to do you xml file reading in the constructor, or in the toSAX method of that class. eg (forgive if that doesn't work without my libs - it just shows how I play with these issues). I suspect this also shows why a custom generator might be more useful in your case, as you'd have to analyse your xml doc into its constituent parts in order to output it again as SAX events (although I'm sure there's an easy way to achieve this). public void toSAX(ContentHandler handler) { try{ this.contentHandler = handler; AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl(); start("jbxsp-id", atts); characters("" + instanceId); end("jbxsp-id"); start("jbxsp-screen-id", atts); characters("" + screenId); end("jbxsp-screen-id"); start("jbxsp-screen", atts); characters("" + screenClass); end("jbxsp-screen"); start("jbxsp-trail", atts); characters("" + trail.getTrailId()); end("jbxsp-trail"); } catch(Exception e){ System.err.println("Error in SAX (toSAX) "); e.printStackTrace(); } instance.toSAX(handler); //System.out.println("Finished converting to DOM"); } Karl Oie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 14/11/2001 12:57:36 Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: RE: Generators.. was: Re: SV: What is Cocoon good for??? >I'm happy to share some code with you if you need it. > >Regards, > >Anthony Aldridge >Lead Application developer please do, as i find working examples a great way to learn! :-) mvh karl oie --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]>
