Luke, I do believe that Cocoon is very suitable indeed for this kind of job.See attached a sample Cocoon 3 maven project doing some rather basic syndication.
I have generated the Cocoon 3 block as per [1] by using the command:
mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.cocoon.archetype-block \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=cocoon-archetype-block \
-DarchetypeVersion=3.0.0-alpha-3 \
-DgroupId=com.mycompany \
-DartifactId=myblock
then I've added some additional dependencies in order to be able to use
the Neko HTML generator [2] and the RegexpLinkRewriter transformer [3]
Uncompress the file attached, cd and launch with "mvn jetty:run"; then point your favorite browser to
http://localhost:8888/syndicate?url=http://www.google.com or http://localhost:8888/syndicate?url=http://www.apache.orgYou should now be able to see Google's and Apache's home pages, respectively.
Take the content of the file src/main/resources/COB-INF/sitemap.xmap (included in the attached source package) as reference: what the syndicate pipeline does is basically:
1. fetch the provided URL content and transform into XHTML by using the Neko HTML generator [2] 2. rewrite all links in the XHTML code using the RegexpLinkRewriter transformer 3. add, using a simple XSL transformation, the <base/> element in the <head> to make available, for example, images loaded by CSS
4. serialize the content as XMLThis basic sample can be of course improved in many ways, but it seems to me that can serve you as a starting base for your needs.

You can do such things with cocoon, but maybe it is not the best choice. Depending on details.

I want to use my cocoon instance like a syndication or proxy. I know there is a syndication example, but it does not have the complete sitemap in it and it skims over some issues I am not getting. Plus it is based on using web service calls, and all I want to do is redirect web calls, get the page and do some parsing on it. Can anyone help me with this?
