Josza,
youmight want to have a look at the XMLFragment interface (available both for
Cocoon 1.8 and 2.0) which facilitates the creation of SAX events (in the case of
Cocoon 2.0) for your EJBs.
One idea might be to have the entity bean (in case you are using any) or the
value objects (if you are relying on session beans) implement the relevant
method in this interface
void toSAX(ContentHandler handler) for Cocoon 2.0
and include the output of this method via a standard <xsp:expr< tag in your XSP
page(s).
<xsp:page ...>
<page>
<xsl:logic>
SomeDataTransformer transformer = new SomeDataTransformer(...);
</xsp:logic>
<...>
<xsp:expr>transformer</xsp:expr>
</page>
</xsp:page>
The contract in the above sample is that SomeDataTransformer implements the
XMLFragment interface and Cocoon 2.0 will calll the toSAX() method on your
<transformer>. In your toSAX() method, simply use the ContentHanlder instance
provided to generate the SAX events as required.
SomeDataTransformer could be a class that uses a business delegate to go to your
session bean which returns a list of domain objects. In its toSAX() method, you
could simply iterate over the list of domain objects returned and invoke the
toSAX() method recursively.
Hope this helps.
