POST, create XML, and Upload

2002-01-03 Thread therandthem

I have an XML database, not related to Cocoon, that performs inserts,
updates, or deletes by POSTing and XML document to a virtual URL.  With
Cocoon I need to have an HTML form collect info.  I need to create a
small, well-formed XML string (or document) and then POST it to the
database via http with a Content-type of text/xml.

I know how to collect data from the form and create the XML content.
How do I get it to my database after that?

Thanks for any help,

XML include for masthead and navigation

Title: Message



I know that this 
list is for Cocoon specific questions but with so many options available to me 
in Cocoon, I thought I might ask it here.

I am using Cocoon 2 
and would like to have standard headers and footers on every page. I have 
my site navigation in the Header. I would like the navigation to get its 
information from a totally seperate XML file that only has data (no 
presentation, XSL or logic, XSP). Something like this:

menu
 item 
name="Home" uri="/welcome"
 
item name="Services" uri="/services"/
 
item name="Products" uri="/services"/
 
/item
 item 
name="About Us" uri="/aboutus"
/menu

I don't want my 
individual pages to have any concept of this "menu.xml" file. I'd like to 
reference"menu.xml"from somewhere like XSL, read in the values and 
prepend the generated pages with the Header and this navigation content. 
The end result being, I can add and remove values from one file and have it can 
the navigation on all pages, instantly. What is the most simple way to do 
this in Cocoon 2?

Thanks for any 
help,

Richard
