Hi,
If this is just a cocoon question, then, yes, you would get better help on
cocoon-users. But, if your question is more generic then I think the document()
in XSL is a good way to go (cocoon devs would say it mixes concerns, though).
You just need an URIResolver to handle the requests.
Say you have this in your XSL:
<xsl:variable
name="xmldb"
select="document('xmldb:xindice://localhost:4080/db/collection/docNo')"/>
you can also pass an explicit 'base' argument with the document(), e.g.
<xsl:variable
name="xmldb"
select="document('xmldb:xindice:docNo', '//localhost:4080/db/collection')"/>
and your resolver could be like:
final class MyURIResolver implements URIResolver {
public MyURIResolver() {}
/*
- the href is the first argument in the document function or the href attribute
in a xsl:include/import
- if base is not passed then the calling XSL is used as the base
*/
public Source resolve(String href,String base) {
if (href.startsWith("xmldb:xindice:") ) {
return your xindice resource
} else {
return a file resource;
}
}
}
best,
-Rob
