Hi all,
My need is to use cl:link to send a request parameter to another coplet
that contains a XSP page, and XSP page to use it..
I found great the mail below. Problem is there "Be careful, to access to
the MyCoplet-1 attributes this transformer (portal-coplet transformer)
need to be call by the MyCoplet itself and with the cocoon protocol. If
it's not the case use the portal action to 'load' it in memory."
I can't make serverpage take a source with cocoon protocol neither nor
put a action before the generator in a pipeline...
Maybe cl:link can just send parameter for use in XSL and there is
another way?
Thanks by advance!
