cocoon xsl problem

developerinlondon · May 17, 2005

I am trying to run the following sample from the cocoon tutorial but it doesnt seem to be working:

greeting.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsp:page xmlns:xsp="[URL unfurl="true"]http://apache.org/xsp">[/URL]

        <xsp:logic>
                //this could be arbitrarily complex Java code, JDBC queries, etc.
                String msg = "Hello, World!";
        </xsp:logic>

        <greeting>
                <xsp:expr>msg</xsp:expr>
        </greeting>

</xsp:page>

greeting.xsl

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"[/URL] version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">
        <html>
                <body>
        hi
                        <h1>
                                <xsl:value-of select="greeting"/>
                        </h1>
                </body>
        </html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I am using cocoon 2.1.7 on tomcat 5.8 as a servlet. I created my own sample directory in the "samples" directory. My sitemap.xmap file looks like this:
sitemap.xmap:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!-- CVS $Id: sitemap.xmap 30938 2004-07-29 19:08:16Z vgritsenko $ -->

<map:sitemap xmlns:map="[URL unfurl="true"]http://apache.org/cocoon/sitemap/1.0">[/URL]

  <map:pipelines>

    <map:pipeline>
        
      <map:match pattern="greeting">
       <map:generate src="greeting.xml"/>
       <map:transform src="greeting.xsl"/>
      <map:serialize/>
      </map:match>

      <map:match pattern="request.xml">
       <map:generate src="request.xml"/>
      <map:serialize/>
      </map:match>


     </map:pipeline>                

  </map:pipelines>

</map:sitemap>

When I run this, I can only see the 'hi' but not the xsl variable.
anyone has any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

thanks

ok found the problem. We need to tell cocoon to process it as a serverpage by adding type="serverpages" in the map:generate tag.
eg:
sitemap.xmap

Code:

      <map:match pattern="greeting">
       <map:generate type="serverpages" src="greeting.xml"/>
       <map:transform src="greeting.xsl"/>
      <map:serialize/>
      </map:match>

      <map:match pattern="request.xml">
       <map:generate type="serverpages" src="request.xml"/>
      <map:serialize/>
      </map:match>
