Frankly, I'm confused. In another post you said "I need to call a set of REST style web services that take in XML and produce XML. Almost like a BPEL kind of thing. I need the outputs of some of the pipeines to be inputs to others and get it all aggregated to call the final pipeline.", so it sounds like you want to have the generator of a pipeline fed XML from one or more other pipelines. You don't need flow, request attributes or anything else to do that. Just use the FileGenerator and specify a url with the cocoon protocol as the src. The target pipeline can either use pipeline aggregation or the CInclude transformer to aggregate the SAX events from wherever the XML is coming from.

So am I missing something?

Another thing to bounce off the list, hopefully something that I can give back.

Looking through the code, it seems like writing a RequestAttributeTransformer with the following functionality might be useful (at least to me :-)

1. Having the ability to use a org.apache.cocoon.xml.SAXBuffer to record SAX events and put an object of this class in as a named request attribute. 2. Having the ability to pull a SAXBuffer out of the request as a named attribute and replay the SAX events.
So, is SAXBuffer a good class to use for this, i.e. was it meant to be used for this? Am I missing something obvious?


Thanks,

Irv
