Hi all,
recently I have been in the situation for which I need to parametrize an
XML file of my application; I thought there was a simpler way but I
ended up by using an additional XSLT transformation step (since the
XSLTTransformer can accep parameters from the pipeline).
With C2.1 I used to put in place the JXGenerator [1] (or JXTransformer
[2] depending on the case): this saved me, in many cases, from an
additional transformation step in the pipeline.
Even though it is true that everything you could do with JXGenerator can
always be done with XMLGenerator + XSLTTransformer, do you think that
such component can be a "nice to have" in C3?
So far there is only the StringTemplateGenerator component, that
dynamically generates XML based on a template.
How long should it be to add sitemap parameter handling there?
There are also no 'build-in' objects like request, session, etc. which
were supported by the JXGenerator or the VelocityGenerator in Cocoon 2.x
I have no strong opinion on what should be migrated to C3 as long as
it goes into a new module or the cocoon-optional module ;-)
Eh eh, I knew that :-)
I suggest that you choose that technology that fits your requirements
and your time constraints (VelocityGenerator should be rather straight
forward, migrating JX* is definitly more-timeconsuming) best.
As far as the "sitemap parameter handling" part is viable, the
VelocityGenerator could be fine.
Cheers.
