Pieces of this yes and no. Right now you'd need to use POI directly as we've not written a Cocoon generator for Excel yet and our read support for Word is at best very immature hence there is no Serializer or Generator for it. I'm not sure Cocoon is appropriate for what you want to do to be honest. But definetly join the POI list if your interested in helping develop the word port I'm sure you could suit your needs so far as Excel/Doc go. -Andy > I am new to Cocoon, and trying to understand the world of > transformers/generators etc. > > Also could I use Lucene to index the XML documents and build a search > engine around it. > > I would like to know about the possible ways to do this. > > regards > > rajesh. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
