My Cocoon
application needs to request an XML document from a remote server. The
server has an
XML-RPC like
interface in that it accepts parameters to the request as a structured XML
document.
A valid request to
the server has the following characteristics:
- The request
Content-Type is 'text/xml'
- The request
document is sent as the content of the request body, not as the value of a name
value
pair
I tried doing this
using CInclude but came unstuck in a couple of places. Firstly CInclude
seems to
fix the Content-Type
of the request as 'application/x-www-form-encoded', secondly I was only able
to
include my document
as the cinclude:value of a cinclude:parameter.
I had a look at the
Web Service Proxy, as it seems like it might be a more natural fit for what
I'm doing,
yet it's not obvious
from the documentation how to configure it to do what I
need.
Any guidance on the
best approach to solving this problem would be much
appreciated.

Adam
