Hi Antony,

 

As far as I know it is not possible to deal with non XML data in Pipelines. Since they are XML Pipelines and Sax events are passed from one pipeline element to the next, I can’t see any way to do what you want. On the other Side I don’t see the point of doing this anyway. You wouldn’t be able to do any transformations. So I would recommend simply to build your own reader for your non Xml content.

 

Regards,

Betreff: Handling non XML structures in pipelines?

 

Hi all,

 

Our scenario is simple, we have a service that returns some strings in a comma delimited format and we’d like to use that data in cocoon for various transformations, however is it possible to do something at the generator stage to convert this string into XML or does the source of the generator (e.g. file, stream) have to be in an XML format in the first place i.e. editing our service application to return XML is the only option?

 

I guess what we’re asking is whether cocoon can handle non XML formatted data? We do not want our service to depend on the client as to what structure we return, such as XML.

 

Many thanks in advance,

Ant
