Yup...I have looked at that in detail, and have my first Database Add action almost working. > Also this doc shows a one liner about doing what you describe: > > http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/actions/database-actions.html > > Specifically: > <table name="user_groups"> > <keys> > <key name="uid" type="int"> > <mode name="request" type="request"> > <parameter>user_groups.uid</parameter> > </mode> > <mode name="attribute" type="attrib"> > <parameter>org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.output.OutputModule:user.uid[0 > ]</parameter> > </mode> > </key> > <key name="gid" type="int" set="master"> > <mode name="request" type="all"> > <parameter>user_groups.gid</parameter> > </mode> > </key> > </keys> > </table> What confuses me a bit still is how the modes actually work. It seems that you can specify multiple modes and then select them, which will in turn cause the input/output data to be read/written to different places. In the example above, I'm not sure what the <parameter> tag is doing. Is it writing a request attribute with the name "org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.output.OutputModule:user.uid[0" and a value of that key column? > An important thing to know is that the mode name corresponds to the input > module name in the cocoon.xconf file.

What the above does is allow the request > to contain the attribute user.uid (the modules always return a list - so if > there is always one field you need index 0) to database field uid in table > user_groups. Which mode are you suggesting doing the substitute on, the "request" or the "attribute" one? And what do the type designators do? > Unfortunately, that's about all I can help with... Every little bit helps! Thanks!
