Someone correct me if I' m wrong but...
At the moment, I think you'll have to write an Action for this. AFAIK
Serializers are currently tied to the
response output stream. Personally, I think that cocoon should
ultimately seperate the location concern and
allow multiple serializers in a pipeline. (the rationale being that
you'll need to display something as well).
However, one could conceptualize this instead as a transformer (although
its dirty):
my inputtransformer (writes to file) -- different output
displayed to user
But I don't like that very much.
Perhaps this isn't a serializer at all, perhaps its some other widget
that uses a serializer, is passed a location (file in this case), and
provides status (which returns responsibility to the sitemap).
Questions remain for instance on whether it consumes the SAX events
passed to it, etc.
But the short answer is I don't think this is the appropriate place,
at the moment, to use a serializer

I want to write a serializer that will write some content to a file, but
the filename will have to be passed in as a parameter. I am having trouble
getting started. I know that you cannot pass in a parameter to a
serializer, but I don't know of another way to do it. I have looked
through some of the different serializer source code and am still having
trouble. Could anyone offer up a suggestion? I have looked around for
some sort of a serializer writing how-to, but no luck. Would it be best to
just have either an xsp or transformer somehow just enter in the filename
into the content? That seems kind of a hack, but hey if it works, it works
:) If this would be a good way, then how could a write a serializer that
extracts this filename from the content when it is serializing? Any
general help on how to write a serializer would be of great help too.
Thanks in advance,
