Is FileGenerator doing URL encoding?

2003-01-23 Thread Rui Leal
Hello !!

I'm using cocoon 2.0.4 to develop a prototype of a small webapp which has
Tamino XML Server as data repository.

Tamino allows me to pass a HTTP xquery (using x-machine) to the database..
like this

http://databasehost/tamino/databasename/col?_xquery=input()/*

So .. with cocoon i'm doing a pipeline which passes a xquery to tamino ...
like this ..

http://localhost:8080/cocoon/db_xquery=col/input()/*

and the pipeline is ..

map:match pattern=db_*=*/**
  map:generate
src=http://databasehost/tamino/databasename/{2}?_{1}={3}/
  map:transform src=stylesheets/tamino-result.xslt/
  map:serialize type=xml/
/map:match

So until now everything is fine ... BUT imagine i want a query like this ..

http://localhost:8080/cocoon/db_xquery=col/input()/root[@id = 'something']

(NOTICE THE WHITESPACE between @id and = and 'something' ... i don´t really
need the whitespace but imagine i DO need it ..)

Cocoon does not encode the URL on the FileGenerator ... so it passes an
not-encoded URL String to tamino, which tamino refuses because it isn't
encoded (it has whitespaces and not %20's)

Or is the problem with the Matcher not encoding the parameter ??

Is this reported somehere ?
Any help please ?

Thanks !

Cocoon and Tamino ??

2002-12-18 Thread Rui Leal
Hello !

I'm considering using Tamino XML Database on a project. and i've been
evaluating XMLStarterKit

I know i have a couple of possibilities when trying to execute a query:

- a pipeline with a generator pointing to a tamino URL, which returns a XML
result, on which i can apply a stylesheet and clean it !
- use a tamino generator i've found in the mailing list archives (by Mitch
christensen, thanks .. might by useful !)

My question is ..

Is there any logicsheet or taglib which integrates Tamino with XSP ? ..
I started to make one, but i don´t like to re-invent the wheel, if you
know what i mean! :)

I don´t want to waste time in XML:DB right now, because tamino XML:DB plugin
isn´t fully compliant yet !

Any suggestions anyone ?
Thank in advance !!

Concept problem using modular actions ..

2002-10-28 Thread Rui Leal
Hi ALL!

I've been working and testing cocoon for about 3 weeks ... after some simple
examples i started some more complex stuff ..

Right now i´m trying to understand the proper way to work with modular
actions ..

so imagine this ...

One table, SIGLAS, is the main information table, it consists of 5 columns
ID, SIGLA, DOM_REF, DESC_REF, QUEM_REF. There are also 3 tables,
SIGLAS_DOMINIOS, SIGLAS_DESCRICOES, SIGLAS_QUEM, with the following columns
ID, NAME. The columns DOM_REF, DESC_REF, QUEM_REF hold a foreign key to the
3 tables mentioned before (to the column ID of course).

So my descriptor file is something like ..

sigla
connectionpersonnel/connection
table name=SIGLAS_DOMINIOS
keys
key name=ID type=int autoincrement=true
mode name=auto type=autoincr/
/key
/keys
values
value name=NOME type=string/
/values
/table
table name=SIGLAS_DESCRICOES
keys
key name=ID type=int autoincrement=true
mode name=auto type=autoincr/
/key
/keys
values
value name=DESCRICAO type=string/
/values
/table
table name=SIGLAS_QUEM
keys
key name=ID type=int autoincrement=true
mode name=auto type=autoincr/
/key
/keys
values
value name=NOME type=string/
/values
/table
table name=SIGLAS
keys
key name=ID type=int autoincrement=true
mode name=auto type=autoincr/
/key
/keys
values
value name=NOME type=string/
value name=DOM_REF type=int
mode name=request parameter=SIGLAS_DOMINIOS.ID type=request/
mode name=attribute
parameter=org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.output.OutputModule:SIGLAS_D
OMINIOS.ID[0] type=attrib/
/value
value name=DESC_REF type=int
mode name=request parameter=SIGLAS_DESCRICOES.ID type=request/
mode name=attribute
parameter=org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.output.OutputModule:SIGLAS_D
ESCRICOES.ID[0] type=attrib/
/value
value name=QUEM_REF type=int
mode name=request parameter=SIGLAS_QUEM.ID type=request/
mode name=attribute
parameter=org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.output.OutputModule:SIGLAS_Q
UEM.ID[0] type=attrib/
/value
/values
/table
table-set name=all-dominios
table name=SIGLAS_DOMINIOS/
/table-set
table-set name=all-descricoes
table name=SIGLAS_DESCRICOES/
/table-set
table-set name=all-quem
table name=SIGLAS_QUEM/
/table-set
table-set name=add-siglas
table name=SIGLAS others-mode=attrib/
/table-set

And my problem is something like this .. i've got a ADD_PAGE in which you
can add stuff on the main table, but you can also add of refer stuff from
the other tables (through a SELECT field) SIGLAS_DOMINIOS,
SIGLAS_DESCRICOES, SIGLAS_QUEM.

I've got only one action on the page and my execution should be something
like this ..

- if its a new SIGLAS_DOMINIO value then add it ..
- if its a new SIGLAS_DESCRICOES value then add it ..
- if its a new SIGLAS_QUEM value then add it ..
- at last add to the SIGLAS table considering the new or existing ID's from
the other tables.

Ok, so i'm trying to do it all in a action set .. like this ..

(Only a part of sitemap )
--- sitemap ---

map:action-sets
map:action-set name=addSigla
map:act type=req-params
map:parameter name=parameters value=add-sigla
SIGLAS_DOMINIOS.NOME/
map:act type=siglaAdd
map:parameter name=table-set value=all-dominios/
/map:act
/map:act

map:act type=req-params
map:parameter name=parameters value=add-sigla
SIGLAS_DESCRICOES.DESCRICAO/
map:act type=siglaAdd
map:parameter name=table-set value=all-descricoes/
/map:act
 /map:act

map:act type=req-params
map:parameter name=parameters value=add-sigla
SIGLAS_QUEM.NOME/
map:act type=siglaAdd
map:parameter name=table-set value=all-quem/
/map:act
/map:act

map:act type=siglaAdd
map:parameter name=table-set value=add-siglas/
/map:act

/map:action-set
/map:action-sets

map:pipelines
map:pipeline
map:match pattern=processa-siglas
map:act set=addSigla
map:generate src=documents/list-siglas.xsp type=serverpages/
map:transform src=stylesheets/simple.xsl/
map:serialize/
/map:act
/map:match
--- sitemap ---

So my BIG problem is how to do this?

Must i declare a table-set for each operation combination ? (like DOM as
foreign key but DESC has not, and so on ..)

If i use a mode like attrib, i'm using it for all the foreign keys .. i
want to get the ID by a request attribute only on from the tables i inserted
before. The ones i selected (not added) are just on the request parameter !

How can i do this in ONE request ?

Is there any ConvertAllRequestParametersToRequestAttributes action ?

I've come to the conclusion it is faster to write some logic on a couple of
XSP's than to use the actions this way.

Thanks in advance to any help !

(Hit me if i'm saying something really stupid :) .. and sorry about the
typos .. )

Re: Concept problem using modular actions ..

2002-10-28 Thread Rui Leal
First of all .. thanks for the help !

I've been a complete cocoon fan for 3 weeks now .. I've converted most of my
team to it ! :)

 There has been a problem using nested actions in an action-set in 2.1
 and most likely treeprocessor in 2.0.x.

 .. Ok .. i´ve been using 2.0.3 .. it seems the stable one ! :) ..
Btw is there some list of 2.0.3 bugs or problems ?

  Must i declare a table-set for each operation combination ? (like DOM as
  foreign key but DESC has not, and so on ..)

 This or a cocoon-action-* parameter for every combination. Personally,
 I'd prefer not to use an action-set but code the selection logic myself.

.. you mean declaring it on the pipeline and not on a action-set ?

You sure want to do form-validation (XMLForms or other), don't
 you. That or the RequestParameterExistsAction would come in handy
 here. I see that you already use the latter.

Yes .. that was the plan ! :)

  If i use a mode like attrib, i'm using it for all the foreign keys ..
i

 You don't have to. You can change the mode-name for every attribute
 and every mode-type. The mode-type can be specified through the
 table-set. In addition there's the all mode-type that would be used
 regardless of the requested mode-type (if the requested type wasn't
 found before).

Ok, i got this, but my problem comes from the fact i've got 3 foreign keys
that sometimes get their value from a request parameter and sometimes from a
request attribute (from the add action on table which is referenced) ..

Can i specify something like this ? .. the mode name and mode type of the
request attribute is diferent on each foreign key ..

table name=SIGLAS
keys
...
/key
/keys
values
value name=NOME type=string/
value name=DOM_REF type=int
mode name=attribute-dom
parameter=org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.output.OutputModule:SIGLAS_D
OMINIOS.ID[0] type=attrib-dom/
mode name=request parameter=SIGLAS_DOMINIOS.ID type=all/
/value
value name=DESC_REF type=int
mode name=attribute-desc
parameter=org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.output.OutputModule:SIGLAS_D
ESCRICOES.ID[0] type=attrib-desc/
mode name=request parameter=SIGLAS_DESCRICOES.ID type=all/
/value
value name=QUEM_REF type=int
mode name=attribute-quem
parameter=org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.output.OutputModule:SIGLAS_Q
UEM.ID[0] type=attrib-quem/
mode name=request parameter=SIGLAS_QUEM.ID type=all/
/value
/values
/table

So .. how do i use this ? In a table-set like this ?

table-set name=all-siglas
table name=SIGLAS others-mode=MODE NAME HERE ? 
/table
/table

But in this solution i can only use the mode i specify on others-mode ! .. I
need diferent values .. one for each foreign key!

Can something like this work ?

table-set name=all-siglas
table name=SIGLAS
mode name=something type=something/
   ...
/table
/table

  want to get the ID by a request attribute only on from the tables i
inserted
  before. The ones i selected (not added) are just on the request
parameter !

 CVS 2.1 has a ChainMetaModule that allows to specify a preference list
 of InputModules. The first one returning a value != null is used. I'm
 currently working on something in that area. Once that is finished,
 2.0.4-CVS will get updated. In the mean time, it should be safe to
 copy it together with the AbstractMetaModule from 2.1 to 2.0.4,
 rebuild, and add it to cocoon.xconf if you need it fast.

YES! .. my main problem is the != null ... specifying a foreign key from a
request attribute returns null if the attribute doesn´t exists.
I will check this ChainMetaModule ..

Btw can you recommed a cocoon CVS version stable to run on a production
server ?

  Is there any ConvertAllRequestParametersToRequestAttributes action ?

 I believe so. If not, it's no big deal writing it yourself. The
 ChainMetaModule from 2.1 is another solution.

Ok .. if everything else fails, i will convert all the request parameter to
attributes !

  I've come to the conclusion it is faster to write some logic on a couple
of
  XSP's than to use the actions this way.

 If you don't mind to mix concerns, that is. The problem with your
 scenario is that you want everything to happen in one invocation of
 the actions.

Yes .. in fact i'm using an real application as an example .. I have some
FORMS that need to perform a lot of operations on diferent tables. It's not
well-formed from a design point of view but it helps the user-interaction.

Thanks again for the help ..

Subject: XSP in XSL and Caching problem!


 I'm using 2.1-DEV, and one file in my application is a XSL page which
 generates XSP for the serverpagesGenerator. The problem here is, that no
 changes are committed to the browser result! Only removing the work-dir
 and restarting tomcat helps. And after one reload of that page it's still
 the same. I've changed all the pipelines to noncaching, and everything
 is set to false that seems like a caching instruction.

 I've tryed IE6, and NN7, no difference.

 Help, please!

Hello !

I´m having the same problem here ...

My setup is

Tomcat 4.1.12
Cocoon 2.0.3
JDK 1.4.0

I've been extending some examples like the bonebreaker site
(http://www.cocooncenter.de/cc/documents/resources/navigation/index.html)
just to avaliate Cocoon for some internal company work, and i must say the
reload/refresh problem is screwing my devel process.
(in this particular case, if some info on toc.xml is modified, tomcat work
dir must be cleaned and the server restarted).

Might this be a tomcat-cocoon right/wrong version problem ?

Any help? :)

Thanks in advance...
