I thought actions were performed before generators and transformers?  
     

If so, how could an action copy data from a generator or transformer?
     

<act type="copy" 
from="cocoon:/my-pipeline-with-generator-and-or-transformer-an
d-whatever" 
to="xmldb:xindice:///db/orders/{order}"/>
   

Wouldn't a source-copy function a nice addition for FOM?
 

The source-copy action already exists in o.a.c.acting.CopySourceAction, 
and the o.a.c.c.flow.util.PipelineUtil class could easily be generalized 
to any source, and not only "cocoon:".
