RE: Request to external XML server in pipeline
Hi Bryce, here's one way of doing this: pipeline reguest generator stylesheet - builds cinclude statements with the params cinclude transformer stylesheet for output /pipeline So you use the cinclude transformer to fetch the external data. Check out the cinclude documentation for more details.

I have a pipeline that has a request generator, then a xslt transformation to get the XML into the required format. What I would like to do is post this packet to the XML server, with the reply packet being available to the pipeline, maybe a transformer that changes the input XML to the output via the post.

RE: Request to external XML server in pipeline
In the case of a POST, you can use the session transformer (only available in the latest CVS) instead of the cinclude transformer: pipeline reguest generator stylesheet - builds cinclude statements with the params cinclude transformer stylesheet for output /pipeline The session transformer is able to use post for HTTP requests. The following XML should get something from http://itsunshine/test by using POST: data xmlns:session=http://ocoon.apache.org/session/1.0; session:include session:connection type=uri !-- THE URI -- session:targethttp://itsunshine/test/session:target !-- Setting POST -- session:config session:param session:namemethod/session:name session:valuePOST/session:value /session:param /session:config !-- Setting parameters -- session:params session:param session:namemessage/session:name session:valueHi there/session:value /session:param /session:params /session:connection /session:include /data But I must confess that I'm not sure if this works with the lastest CVS, as we changed the source resolving - I will have a look at it asap.

Re: Request to external XML server in pipeline
Bryce, On a side note, it sounds like you may also benefit from the use of SOAP, have you checked it out yet? -Zack On 5/2/02 4:27 AM, Ewing, Bryce [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Just started working with Cocoon and I have a question in regards to reading XML content from a XML server probably within a pipeline.
