Re: [SUMMARY] DatabaseAddAction and unique or primary keys
Sorry the message was double posted..but good news! Antoino, thanks for pushing me in that direction. I did not think the modular DatabaseAddAction would handle unique keys, but it does (I had to hunt through the source to find this out) I updated my descriptor files to be compatible with modular DB actions. This meant moving unique keys out of the key tags and into the value tags. Duplicate keys are handled gracefully. My next goal is to return a notification to the xsp page telling the user about the duplicate. But I will save that for another thread. Cheers to all for their help!

Re: A note about the best(?) (cocoon-) development environment ...
I find eclipse to be a bit too pushy for my tastes. The NetBeans platform is a bit more open. In addition the eclipse XML editor is a little primitive. The NetBeans one at least closes tags and offers various other functionality. Additionally the eclipse release schedule is almost wholly managed by IBM which makes it a hit or miss thing. The last straw is the relatively limited plug-in availability for eclipse. It took me hours just to find a site with a full eclipse module catalog. The only other comment I have is that I'm still searching for a content editor for Static XML. I'm currently investigating using adobe FrameMaker. The idea being that I would have a WYSIWYG way of editing documents that any one of my clients could use and I could write XSLT processors to convert that to the web format using cocoon. Right now the current XML editors are too primitive. Usable for a programmer but for a corporate document jockey, no chance. -- Robert - Original Message - From: SAXESS - Hussayn Dabbous [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2003 12:46 PM Subject: A note about the best(?)

Re: A note about the best(?) (cocoon-) development environment ...
I use JBoss but not jetty. Are you saying the Jetty-JBoss combo is superior to the Tomcat-JBoss combo? If so, I will definitely go try it. Perhaps it will fix my classpath in XSP issue. Bugzilla Reference: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16580. Kodo JDO is an implementation of the JDO specification and MORE. It basically rules. Go through the tutorials and you will love it. Create an object model using your favorite problem domain. Then create the JDO mapping file (raw XML or with IDE plug-in) and then just say uhh, make a schema for me and it just does it. Its amazing! No more screwing around with persistence and schema manipulation.

Re: A note about the best(?) (cocoon-) development environment ...
Which JDO? The ODMG JDO (like what Castor uses) or the after class generation muck about that is in the Sun JDO? Jetty has been using JMX long before Tomcat, it fully supports the spec ... and I'm thinking it supports it before the reference implementation does (like the classpath stuff). Is it superior, I can't say for sure (but it is the default / preferred servlet engine in JBoss. I like it because it takes me less screwing around with jar clashes between applications and what the server itself uses (making me less dependent on their support cycle and changes in where the JDK wants things).

RE: converting HTML to PDF
Title: RE: converting HTML to PDF From: Mike Haarman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Antennae House, home of a famous formatting objects processor, has an HTML2FO.xsl on their site which is a good starting point for a stylesheet to handle this transformation. Thanks Mike. I did a search and came accross a few things including HTML2FO at SourceForge and another one that handles the HTML output that Word generates http://www-uk.hpl.hp.com/people/fabgia/wh2fo/wh2fo.html Didn't see Antennae House so if you have a link please forward, thanks.

Instal Cocoon on Mac OS X
I have installed the tomcat server on MacOSX and it works fine. I downloaded cocoon and put the cocoon.war file in webapps. I stopped and started tomcat and it created the cocoon folder in webapps. When I go to http://localhost:8080/cocoon the browserdoes not respondfor a long time. Do I have to move some .jar files? Anyassistance is appreciated. Thanks, Ross.
