Open the new  connection like:

 mydriver
 dburl
 ... 
 ...

And set false in your connection.

Now you can use following syntax to commit or rollback changes:


 ... put your query here

commit (or rollback) 



May be that example solve your problem :)
 (Because I doesn't try this method in my work)

Yes. Get and read "JavaTM Servlet 2.3 Specification"
(servlet-2_3-fcs-spec.pdf) from
http://www.jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr053/, page 61:
 8< 
A special directory exists within the application hierarchy named
"WEB-INF".
...
. The /WEB-INF/classes/ directory for servlet and utility classes. The
classes
in this directory must be available to the application class loader.
. The /WEB-INF/lib/*.jar area for Java ARchive files. These files
contain
servlets, beans, and other utility classes useful to the web
application. The web application class loader must be able to load
classes from any of these archive files.
 8< 

All other pages are helpful too.

First read
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/classpath.html:
 8< 
Paths to the .jar, .zip or .class files. Each path should end with a
filename or directory depending on what you are setting the class path
to: 
For a .jar or .zip file that contains .class files, the path ends with
the name of the .zip or .jar file. 
For .class files in an unnamed package, the path ends with the directory
that contains the .class files. 
For .class files in a named package, the path ends with the directory
that contains the "root" package (the first package in the full package
name).
 8< 

Then continue with
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/javac.html.

Re: Schematron validation

[Ivelin Ivanov]

You should be able to do what you describe.
Sounds like a bug in the SchamatronValidator implementation,
not in Schematron itself.
Willing to hunt it down?

RE: Excel generator

[Coetmeur, Alain]

you may look at 
extenXLS  (without a D)

this is an XLS read and write library...
commercial but cheap.

not very smart but do most of what most need:

- read data in excel spreadsheet
(get some numbres, strings, and formula computed numeric values)
- write some data in a tempalete excel file
(make a spread sheet, and let your program change the values
and produce the result)

we have used it for some project when we receive by mail
gathered indicators computed by the spreadsheet,
from departments secretaries...
ther are some bugs with turnaround (fils must have some mimimum weight)...

we would have prefered POI but it was not supporting formula computed values
at this time...

the "template" mode of extenxls is a good idea with XML since

Re: NullPointerException with SunShine -- user and password not stored in context?

[Dominic Reynolds]

I think that this is due to jdk1.4 + xml library problems. 

Previously on this list someone said to move the xerces*jar, xalan*jar, and 
xml-api*jar from the cocoon distribution to ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/endorsed 
directory and then pass '-DJAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS=${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/endorsed' 
to java in the catalina.sh script.
This worked for me and I was seeing the same stack trace.

NullPointerException with SunShine -- user and password not stored in context?

[David Cameron]

I've been getting a NullPointerException using SunShine with both the demo
and a little custom test based on the material at
http://www.need-a-cake.com/stories/2002/02/28/usingTheSunriseComponents.html

I found a note to the mailing list from Keil, who seemed to be having the
exact same problem in May, but there were no replies to it.

I'm using
Java 1.4.0
Tomcat 4.0.4
Cocoon 2.0.3 (from source or the 1.4 binary build)

I'm speculating that the error is caused because the authentication
information is not getting stored to the session context after the user is
authed.

Here's some of the stack trace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.cocoon.sunshine.xml.XMLUtil.getNodesFromPath(XMLUtil.java:869)
at
org.apache.cocoon.sunshine.xml.XMLUtil.getNodesFromPath(XMLUtil.java:871)
at
org.apache.cocoon.sunshine.xml.XMLUtil.getNodesFromPath(XMLUtil.java:871)
at
org.apache.cocoon.sunshine.xml.XMLUtil.getNodeListFromPath(XMLUtil.java:836)
at
org.apache.cocoon.sunshine.context.SimpleSessionContext.getXML(SimpleSession

at
org.apache.cocoon.sunshine.sunrise.SunRise.isAuthenticated(SunRise.java:691)
at
org.apache.cocoon.sunshine.sunrise.SunRise.checkAuthentication(SunRise.java:
766)
at
org.apache.cocoon.sunshine.sunrise.acting.AuthAction.act(AuthAction.java:122
)
at
org.apache.cocoon.www.sitemap_xmap.matchN4004A5(F:\tomcat-4.0.4-win\work\Sta
ndalone\localhost\cocoon\cocoon-files\org/apache/cocoon/www\sitemap_xmap.jav
a:5363)
at
org.apache.cocoon.www.sitemap_xmap.process(F:\tomcat-4.0.4-win\work\Standalo
ne\localhost\cocoon\cocoon-files\org/apache/cocoon/www\sitemap_xmap.java:333
0)
at
org.apache.cocoon.www.sitemap_xmap.process(F:\tomcat-4.0.4-win\work\Standalo
ne\localhost\cocoon\cocoon-files\org/apache/cocoon/www\sitemap_xmap.java:310
0)

Now some sections from the sitemap, these were all copied nearly verbatim
from the above link. I switched target for redirect after a sucessful login
to ags-authuser in an effort to see if it was returning the proper info.
This doesn't seem to work though because it requires a name and password
parameter in the request. My understanding is that it should be able to get
this info from the session context after a successful login, but it clearly
isn't.



  
http://apache.org/cocoon/sitemap/1.0";
xmlns:sunshine="http://sunshine.sundn.de/sunshine/1.0";>
 
 

  



   
  
  
  
  
   

   
  
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  
  
   

   


   


   

   
   
   
   
   
   
   



I can get authentication information by handcrafting URLs to auth user. For
example ags-authuser?name=cocoon&password=cocoon gives me back the xml:
  
- 
  cocoon
  admin
- 
  cocoon
  admin
  cocoon
  cocoon
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Which seems to be correct. However going to ags-protected and then logging
in causes the null pointer exception.

The reason I think the information is not being stored in the context is
because after going through the source along the stack trace I came across
this:
SunRise.java line 691:
DocumentFragment id = context.getXML("/" + name
+ "/authentication/ID");

name is the handler name. The ags-authuser pipeline is returning the proper
snippets as shown above, but then later when this call is made, the fragment
isn't available.

Any ideas of how I can fix this or get around it? Is something broken in
SunShine?

You can. You will see messages in the console window of servlet engine,
I usually use tomcat (under *nix console output will be in catalina.out
file) or resin.

Other option is to run servlet engine with debug enabled and connect to
the engine from the IDE debugger.

Usually you use getLogger().debug("message") to put some debug info into
the log, but LuceneIndexContentHandler is not log enabled.

XSLTTransformer documentation

[Benjamin Pillet]

I wasn't sure where to send this feedback.  Hope it gets to the right
place.

The documentation located at
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/transformers/xslt-transformer.html
has the following extract:



 >In addition all other parameters to the transformer are available 
 >in the stylesheet as xsl:variables



They are actually available as xsl:params.  It took me a few minutes to
locate a working sample and fix my stylesheets.  A documentation change
might help others.

esql fills textarea

[Frank Taffelt]

i have a problem to populate a html textarea correctly.
the problem occurs when outping content, that contain
linebreak chars.

suppose the following example:
  * esql gives a formated string: "line one\r\nline two"
  * some xsl transformation steps
  * html serializer 

the html output is something like this:

lineone
 
line two

-> the carriage return char is referenced as an entity 
which is not properly rendered (the result contains 3 lines 
of text instead of 2 ).

is this the correct behaviour, that carriage return is handled differently 
from linefeeds or has anybody some suggestions how to solve this 
problem?

AFAIR this behavior is known as bug #9736.

cocoon:/ not using current sitemap

[David Trammell]

I cannot get the cocoon:/ protocol to work when using it from a sitemap
that was mounted from another internal request using the cocoon:/
protocol.  I have included snippets of my two sitemaps that duplicates
this.

Have I misunderstood how the cocoon:/ protocol works, or is this a bug?
It works if I do not use cocoon:/ within the second sitemap and generate
the xhtml directly.  It also works if I do not use cocoon:/ in the first
one and directly mount the style sitemap.

The requested URL is something like http://localhost/test/admin/users

sitemap.xmap :
---











   



style.xmap :
---

RE: VELOCITY (XML) - COCOON (PDF)

FW: Stored Procedure using esql?

[Naquin, Beth]

Title: FW: Stored Procedure using esql?





What specific problems are you having?


Here are some examples that I used in a logicsheet called from some xsp pages.


Example 1:  Stored Procedure returns a resultset (ie it's a fancy SELECT statement). It can return one row of data, many rows of data, or possibly no rows. It takes no input parameters.




        
        
    {call GetWorkQRows()}
    
                
    
    
        
        
                
                    
                
            
        
    


    
    
      There is currently no data in the work queue.
  


    
    
        
        
    
                    




The stored procedure does something like this:  SELECT pin, status, action from 


If there is data, this results in xml like:

    
        999
        OK
        Update
    
    
        888
        OK
        Update
    
    ...



No return code from the stored procedure is processed here.  The stored procedure returns one, but I just don't care about it.

-
EXAMPLE 2:  This is the same as example 1, except I explicitly name the xml tags where I want particular data to go.  This sproc can only return one or zero rows.



    
    
    {call get_person(
        "",
        "",
                    NULL,
        )}

    


                
    
    
    
        
            
            
                
                
                
                                            

                
                                                       ...

            
        ...
        

             
This results in, as you can imagine:

    
        Smith
        John
        
        10/10/1988
        M
        345677890




---
Example 3:  Stored procedure does not return a result set (ie it is not a select statement) but it does return various return codes (via an output parameter). The stored procedure also needs two input parameters.  In my case, these input parameters were set by the user via a form and are available through request parameters.



    
    
    { = call LaunchSearches(
        ,

        )}
    
    
    
    
        
                    


    
    
        
        
    
                




The esql:call-results section will execute regardless of whether or not a resultset is returned.  This is where I capture the output parameter (return code).

This results in xml like the following:
1
or maybe
5
where 1 and 5 mean specific things for my stored procedure.


To use an output parameter, you must register it first.  that is what " = ..." line does.  The line "" accesses the output parameter (in this case the output parameter is the first parameter (column="1"). I don't know what to do if you have more than one output parameter; I'm not too familiar with JDBC.  I think that if this stored procedure had also returned a resultset, I could have accessed the data in the resultset with  just like in Example 1.

I used cocoon 2.0.2, tomcat 4.0.1 and Sybase 12.5 database.



Hope that helps
Beth

It's a political issue.
Technically it's not a problem, but other possible committers to Morphos 
were against anything not discussed on Commons...

I'll CC you directly for the mails, and other users that don't want to 
go on Commons-dev will read the archives I guess.

Just a guess: Do you remember that import's a re not allowed within
xsp:logic ? They go into xsp:structure ...

See here:
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/xsp/logicsheet.html
(search for structure, it nearly at the end of the page)

Make sure you use
org.apache.avalon.excalibur.datasource.ResourceLimitingJdbcDataSource
(check cocoon.roles, log file, cocoon.xconf). This datasource should
create JDBC connections only when it is requested, and it will be
requested only when Cocoon processes request from user, and this happens
long after everything is initialized.

It probably much easier to produce this via Java, than re-inventing
Locale-specific Date formatting in XSLT.

Assuming you are using the XSP with Java, this gets translated into
String.valueOf(new Date()) which in turn does nothing more than
(new Date()).toString().
If you want this to be a localized String you have to call
SimpleDateFormat.format(new Date()). This way you can also have
a different Locale for each User (which is probably what you want).

language variable, date formatting

[Barbara Post]

Hello,

My xsl stylesheet needs to format a date using a locale or a language
variable that is stored in session (using SunRise portal).

I wonder how I can do this.

If I use an xsp to produce the portion of xml I need (date formatted
according to a specific locale), how can the xsp get the session attribute
since it is stored in sunRise context (or another one if I need to do so) ?

My problem is : how to access the session attributes when using sunRise, to
use it in sitemap or xsp ? If I use getxml I would have to use DOM then,
right ?

I was surprised that the raw new Date() does not use my
computer locale... (FR) but English one.

Thanks for any clue.

Barbara

I'm not sure we understand each other here.
What I had in mind is removing the work needed to produce XML from Excel
files and just use the XML output abilities of the application.
One can use that XML directly with the Excel application or use XSLT to
produce a web-based interface. 

Not sure what the argument here is.

Explain the advantage?  This is what I brought up, so far its unanimous 
the other direction.  Why would you prefer this over an XSLT page that 
accomplishes the same thing?

Dude, you don't understand.  I'm only getting like 50% of my emails, in 
part due to the amount of traffic I get.  I physically cannot subscribe 
to commons.  If I do that I'd pretty much never get any mail from 
anywhere else. The traffic on Commons is REDICULOUS.  There's no way we 
can split it?  I mean I just can't.

I tried to help my LUG get a SMTP server set up but they're all a bunch 
of Sysadmin types who are trying to set up a "REALLY COOL" SMTP server 
(still trying after 6 months) rather than a functional one in the near 
future!

I intend to set up my own SMTP server on my server, but it won't be in 
the near future.

Regardless, I know a couple other people (of your acquantenance) who 
might help out if the list were seperate.

Hell we created a list for cocoon-doc

Although I don't like dealing with M$ stuff, a nice idea is utilizing
the office 2002 XML formats, specifically the one of Excel.

It's under http://www.tzi.de/~svenk/. It contains all jars involved so 
I'd rather not send it by email.

I temporarily "repackaged" the code under morphos.* or so, I hope this

With XML any decision is good, since XSLT can do wonders.
The important thing is that the decision (ie DTD) was taken and that we 
sticked to it.

Wha?  Its not stored in the database?  You see with XSP/ESQL, you could 
query it from the database, output XML, transform it via your 
stylesheets and serialize it via HSSF Serializer.  

How are you currently getting them out in XML?

hsqldb server/client startup sequence

[Kim Jelmoni]

Hello,

I m trying to use hsqldb from a cocoon application. Now I have the 
problem that when I run cocoon on a unix system hsqlserver start after 
that cocoon try to open the connection pool, resulting in no connection 
to DB.
There is a possibility to force cocoon by startup to start first the 
hsqldb server and then try to open the DB connection pool ?

Thanks

Kim

??? you don't ;-)
the use case is very simple: create a xls-file out of an gnumeric-file. ;-)
don't see any cocoon stuff here. i guess that would be like m$ saying
there is no use case for calculation outside excel.
but ok. i guess i know what you mean.

i would like to do that, but since i realy dont have any clue about
the inner workings of cocoon this seems almost impossible for me at the
moment.

this might be the case indeed. but at the moment and for the foreseeable
future (3-6 month) this wont happen and so the discussion is a moot one.

> Well one thing I don't recommend is generating the gnumeric format

this isn't possible either cause the invoice-format is still very
young and there are a lot of changes going on for the next several
months. it is impractical to let those changes be made by programmers.
the people from the billing-dept. should do them but i simply cannot
force them to "programm" a bill in some xml-format. the maximum
i can give them is linux-box with gnumeric installed on it (and even
this is not so simple since this is a windowsshop).

on the otherhand transforming a given gnumeric-file into an stylesheet
is realy no fun and very brittle to do.

You could have a default for this column of "N" - but since the
parameter is not present (-> null) the DatabaseUpdateAction will
insert a NULL into that column. No luck.

You could use DatabaseUpdateAction from the modular package
(scratchpad in 2.0.3, trunk in 2.1-dev) and wrap this column with a
default module. 2.1-dev has such a module (DefaultsMetaModule), while
2.0.3 does not. This is because the signature of InputModules has
changed slightly and 2.0.3 is bug-fix only.

It should be easy to backport a module from 2.1 to 2.0.3 as the basic
difference is the use of the objectModel instead of Request.

Chris.

Okay thanks to all.  I'm convinced we made the right decision 
originally.  I wasn't sure at the start, everytime I'd describe this 
architecture I'd get "Why didn't you go with Excel XML format" -- but 
its nice to know that not only are people using the serializer at this 
point, but that they prefer the gnumeric format (as yucky as it is) for 
various reasons.  Good to know it was the right decision.

So Ken, while I don't want you to do it right now, because I think you 
have too many potatos in your donkey cart (picture Ken pulling a donkey 
cart with a bunch of potatos in it), what would it take to start moving 
this to Morpohos?  It seems the majority of people using this at the 
moment are using it outside of Cocoon.

I'll help (as soon as I move some potatos off my donkey cart) if I can, 
but I don't have enough Avalon/non-cocoon-xml-serializer experience to 
do this myself, nor do I have a clear picture of the plans for Morphos 
interface-wise.

I would suggest a seperate mailing list for this, perhaps on krysalis in 
addition to the commons mailing list, as there is no way in hell I'm 
subscribing to the commons mailing list ever again because the volume is 
soo great that it would triple my current email volume and probably 
bring my ISPs flaky email server down anyhow!
Others probably feel similar.

 From there we can plan an approach for the generator.  It would 
probably be faster too, my patches get applied too slow to work on it 
very efficiently here. (no offense)

Yeah in short:  Its a Cocoon Serializer.  While I appreciate this 
feedback, I personally have no use cases for the Serializer outside of 
Cocoon.  This makes it impossible for me to support a non-cocoon version 
of the Serializer.  It would take a motivated individual who knew what 
to do in order to support such a project.  My continued personal 
interest is in generating reports via Cocoon and the HSSF Serializer.

Well one thing I don't recommend is generating the gnumeric format 
directly once you know what you're
doing.  Meaning come up with an interim format.

XML-> YOUR XML -> Gnumeric
   XSLT  XSLT

The first XSLT converts your datafeed into an XML Invoice (your own tag 
langauge).  The second stylesheet generically applys styling to this and 
makes it into a Gnumeric workbook.

by the value of the continuation or any other value, but it doesn't work. is 
this syntax is precise or it is just an idea of how to use the continuation into 
the XMLTransformer or this action parameter is different than the action of the 
XMLForm ??
 
any help please ?

Macros in velocity generator

[Carles Canellas]

Hello.
I'm using a velocity generator in a internal pipeline
on my sitemap in order to get a xsp file.

My problem is that i want to use velocimacros to
simplify the source vm file, but I don't know where
cocoon is trying to find the VM_global_library.vm
where I have defined the macros.

the internal pipeline is:











The message in the sitemap.log is:
INFO(2002-07-24) 10:57.05:695   [sitemap]

I have searched in the documentation and in the
cocoon.xconf and I have found nothing about that
issue.

My java is not so good to find it in the source code.

In wich path is cocoon trying to find these files?
Can I change this path? How?

Thanks in advance.
Carles.

This is in the works, as project Morphos in Commons scratchpad.
Someone has already a working standalone version of the serializer, and 
we will put it in Morphos.

Morpher myMorpher = MorpherFactory.getMorpher("hssf");
mymorpher.morph(gnumeric_file_or_stream, os);

Yup. And XSLT files for easy conversion to the Excel format.

The rewrite of the serializer is enough of a reason, not to change the
format. (IMHO) Why change something, if it works, as long as there is
no strong reason ? (and Excel format compatibility is no strong reason
for me)

Gnumeric XML is powerful enough and well documented. The latter is the
most important for me. This pdf describing every single tag and
attribute is a huge help, when having to generate a spreadsheet
programmatically.

I think the gnumeric XML format is the way to go. Why bothering with
Excel XML format if it's going to change anyway (if it's just a
translation of the binary format, it is most likely to change). And
Excel still can read and write the old binary formats.
This way you could also use other serializers to produce OpenOffice.org
spreadsheets or any other spreadsheet application.

So, my wish would be a Gnumeric XML generator and serializer. Served
with backed potatoes and some garnish ... ;)

i guess the problem is another one (imho). at the moment the whole
serializing stuff is to much tied to cocoon. this makes it virtually
infeasable to use it simply out of the box with poi. i would have
not made it run without the help of sven (so here once again thanks
to sven). all those jars of one does not know which ones are necessary
and which are not - not to mention the fact that when deploying all
of them you surely increase the proballity of jar-hell (one of the
biggest problems in large java-development-shops).

another problem at the moment is, that concrete interface for the
HSSFSerializer is way to complex. you have to create all this
logging-stuff and readers and so on. well i'd say "no batteries included".

something like:
OutputStream os = (new HSSFSerializer()).convert(gnumeric_file_or_stream);
would be much easier to use for newbies.

> Are you using the serializer?  For what?  how?

we (that is my customer) are using it to create invoive-files which in
a later stage will be converted to pdfs.
we are still in early development so i cant say how well it will work out.
but we will generate more than 300 invoices per week and the number is
going to increase.

hmm, i think the gnumeric-format is not so great, even thou i have to admit
that there even worser ones.

what is on the one hand realy nice is that the formating part is separeted
from the content part but that is also the drawback. when changing the file
by hand you almost surely f*ck the whole thing up. actually that is what
i did on thursday of last week: destroying 1 1/2 days of work when trying
to make a stylesheet out of a gnumeric-file.

i settled now for a multistage-process. i'll fill in variables in the
format of ant ( ${varname} ) in gnumeric -> replacing the variables
by means of regex with '' and then
merging the stylesheet and the date to a gnumeric-file and this one is
being serialized.

but what i want to do later to is to create a pdf-file instead of an excel-
file. i'll be using xsl-fo for that and i see some hard times coming to
first create an xsl-fo file out of gnumeric.

but to be honest i dont know any better solution than gnumeric. and at least
the solution is symetrical gnumeric->excel->gnumeric.

Note, that type="lang" action was used for the LangSelect action which is
deprecated in 2.0.3 and were removed from the 2.1. The correct version will
look like:

 
   
 
   
   ...

You can check if the translation is present in this order:
locale = lang_country_variant (e.g. de_AT_EURO)
lang_country (e.g. en_US)
lang (e.g. en)

This is how i18n trasformer looks for dictionary files.

Maybe something like an new LocalizedFileAction action would be more
convenient for this task. It can check for the existence of required
resource then return the first matched one or the default file name, e.g.:

 
   
   
   ...

Actions - Basics

[Richard]

Hi Guys

I am trying to compile the HelloWorldAction.java file under...

C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\lib\

the compiler gives me unresolve symbol errors for the
org.apache.avalon.framework.*  and  org.apache.cocoon.* classes/packages.

now what i did was look for these packages inside the

Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\lib\*.jar files,
eventually I have found all the packages that i need. in the end i have
managed  to compile the HelloWorldAction. but what i got is an org folder
under the \WEB-INF\lib\ folder, containing packages for org-apache-avalon,
org-apache-cocoon and org-xml.

to illustrate...

WEB-INF\lib\ folder
  |
  |
  | -> org
 |
 |--> apache
 |  |--> avalon
 |  |--> cocoon
 |
 |---> xml folder

Is this alright? ( I think there is something wrong with it )

Why cant the javac see the packages inside the jar files?

I have also tried to use the javac -classpath C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat
4.0\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\lib HelloWorldAction.java command. It gives the
same error.

Notes:
-I used the javac command in DOS mode to compile the java file.
-JAVA_HOME = C:\jdk1.3.1_03
-CATALINA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0
-CLASSPATH=C:\jdk1.3.1_03\lib;C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat
4.0\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\lib
-COCOON_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\cocoon

PC Configuration
--
Windows 2000 Server Professional
Java 2 SDK 1.3.01
Jakarta Tomcat 4.0.4
cocoon-2.0.2 dev


Now I have add this line in the main sitemap file (C:\Program Files\Apache
Tomcat 4.0\webapps\cocoon\sitemap.xmap)



is this correct?

Thanks in advance...

Schematron Validation 2

[michael_hampel]

Another question:

   I also have non mandatory fields - but if
   the user gives an input I want to validate the input.
   So, is there a way in Schematron to say
   if(input is not empty)
  assert

   Can I do something like nested asserts?

Thanx again for any help,
