Hi, I think I can rule out CInclude, I probably need to convert my Generator into a Serializer (since there seems to be no contentHandler.rawXMLData(..) method in SAX).
Can someone in the know point me to the 'how to write a serializer' documentation? (Navigating around the Cocoon documentation is not easy, I even have the book but that doesn't help).

Not sure if I understand exactly what's happening here...If Cocoon has to fetch XML files through RMI and insert their content into XML streams, what you need is a Generator that gets the XML over RMI, parses it and makes it available as SAX events for the following pipeline components. You could then use data provided by this Generator for anything, including inclusion by CInclude. The usage scenario would then be 1. Client requests http://myserver/LogPipeline/xyz.xml 2. Generator gets the XML data of "xyz" over RMI (xyz is some form of identifier for the data, not necessarily a filename). 3. Generator parses the XML and generates SAX events. >. . . > I just need to figure out how to output XML as XML within XML!!!!! >. . . If you want to insert your RMI-XML into other XML without parsing the RMI-XML (but I'm not sure if this is a good idea), I think the only way is to write a Serializer that does this inclusion. Cocoon uses SAX events between components, so I think all other forms require parsing of the RMI-XML. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]> Any e-mail message from the European Central Bank (ECB) is sent in good faith but shall neither be binding nor construed as constituting a commitment by the ECB except where provided for in a written agreement.
