Here's a sitemap example (for cocoon-2.0) using writeDOMsession /
readDOMsession (as suggested in the docs) to avoid repetitive queries of
reference tables. It works fine, but I haven't done any benchmarking to find
out if it was worth the trouble (and it was quite a bit of trouble)!
Questions:
1. Is there some way this global data could be saved globally rather than
per session?
I guess a new set of global data matchers, selectors and read/writeDOMGlobal
would be required
(more trouble that its worth to me).
2. Has anybody found this approach to be worthwhile or otherwise?
3. Has anybody got a better way of doing it?
Cheers,
Neil.
<!--
Get reference table data.
e.g. Lookup.Staff returns data from the Staff table (query
defined in
Staff.xml file)
TO DO: make this a 'resource' so its not available externally.
If session attribute org.apache.cocoon.SessionState does not
contain the
string ",Staff,"
then this string is appended to the attribute, the query is
executed and
the result is saved
to the session attribute pinnacle.Staff.
Otherwise the query is not executed and result is fetched from
the
session attribute pinnacle.Staff.
SessionState is used because I can match its value against
various string
values, but I don't know how to
test for the existence of a non-string valued session
attribute like
pinnacle.Staff.
