Basically, I am trying to update (add/change) values in a database,
based
on the model/sample that is presented in the Cocoon installation (the
one
that uses the DatabaseXXXActions) . It so happens that one of the
fields
in my database often contains a '+' sign. The updates work fine,
except that
when I try and do an update with a record that has a '+' in that
particular field,
then all the information after the '+' is lost (as is reflected in an
incomplete
entry in the database record). Now, as I cannot see how the info
is passed from the form to the DatabaseXXXActions, my conclusion was
that it
was done via request parameters and that this was causing the fault.
Someone else suggested that ", if you're building an URL yourself to
pass request values,
you should URLencode these values, using for example the
java.net.URLEncoder class."
Based on what you said below - I am now not completely sure what *is*
causing the problem, but I can see there is one...
The sitemap snippets look like:
<map:match pattern="test/chemical.xsp">
<map:act set="dbentry">
<map:parameter name="descriptor"
value="context://biotox/test/chemical.xml" />
<map:generate type="serverpages" src="test/chemical.xsp"/>
<map:transform src="styles/dynamic-page2html.xsl">
<map:parameter name="view-source" value="test/chemical.xsp"
/>
</map:transform>
<map:serialize />
</map:act>
<!-- if action fails, then... -->
<map:generate type="serverpages" src="test/chemical.xsp" />
<map:transform src="styles/dynamic-page2html.xsl">
<map:parameter name="view-source" value="test/chemical.xsp"
/>
</map:transform>
<map:serialize />
</map:match>
where the action set "dbentry" is:
<map:action-sets>
<map:action-set name="dbentry">
<map:act type="add-dbentry" action="Add"/>
<map:act type="del-dbentry" action="Delete"/>
<map:act type="upd-dbentry" action="Update"/>
</map:action-set>
</map:action-sets>
and the action types are:
<map:action name="add-dbentry"
src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.DatabaseAddAction"/>
<map:action name="del-dbentry"
src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.DatabaseDeleteAction"/>
<map:action name="upd-dbentry"
src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.DatabaseUpdateAction"/>
A seemingly simple problem, but one I cannot resolve.
Thanks
Derek

Hi,
could you please be a bit more specific on what you are trying to
achieve?
The picture above does not sound complete. The database actions never
set
request parameters. Actually, whithout creating a new request you are
not
able to set request parameters. So there is definitely something
missing
above.
Where and how are the parameters set and where and how do you observe
the
wrong result?
Please post a sitemap snippet that contains all used pipelines.
Chris.
