Andreas There was another post (one of many; please use the mail archives) along these lines:
for more information about connecting to Oracle look here: http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/SpecificDatabaseConnectionNew I suggest you also to take a look at these pages for setup: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/developing/datasources.html For simple queries, the SQL transformer: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/transformers/sql-transformer.html (inlcudes CLOBs) For more complex work, use XSP and ESQL http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/xsp/esql.html Otherwise investigate the samples given in cocoon 2.1.6 http://localhost:8888/samples/blocks/databases/samples and the source code is here in this path (obviously depends where you install it!)

I have read over the Documentation and the Cocoon book (Building XML-Applications) We have a system that generates XML for producing catalogues ! the XML will be rendert in Indesign. I think about using cocoon to render the same XML for lower quality output (HTML maybe pdf) there are 2 thinks not realy clear to me. 1. I need to get the xml-Stream from the Database (it's Oracle using xml-type (CLOB also possible) 2. I need to read images from database as well (BLOB) for the 2 point i have found Imagereader and Databasereader as I understand, they are not combinable into a pipeline ? I need any glue to get a Idea to implement this in Cocoon philosophy (maybe without writing a spezial servlet ) Thanks a lot Andreas Busch --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
