Your object must be XMLizable (best), or DOM Node, but not String.
Other (not effective) way is to use util logicsheet to parse your String into XML. Answers about it are in the archives, with periodicity one week or so.

The question is then how do I get the data into the xsp as real xml nodes that I can use in a transformation step with xsl? --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]>
