Re: Architecture style of Cocoon II

Many thanks, seemed like a Layered architecture (SoC), so thanks for the 
clarification.

Cheers

Re: Form Validator

Eric-
I have a simple authentication running with mySql.

The db-authenticator is missing from the pipeline given. form-validator is
only validating that the values in your form meet the constraints in
params.xml. db-authenticator will check the database table against what the
user typed in.

The corresponding pipeline in my sub-site is:
      <map:match pattern="do-login">
        <!-- first validate whether submitted values are ok -->
        <map:act type="form-validator">
          <map:parameter name="descriptor"
value="context://wbs/descriptors/params.xml"/>
          <map:parameter name="validate" value="user_id"/>
          <!-- now try to log in -->
          <map:act type="db-authenticator">
            <map:parameter name="descriptor"
value="context://wbs/descriptors/auth.xml"/>
            <!-- now go to protected area -->
            <map:redirect-to uri="protected"/>
          </map:act>
  </map:act>
        <!-- something was wrong, try it again -->
  <map:redirect-to uri="login"/>
      </map:match>
(Yes, it was shamelessly stolen from the example.)
The auth.xml I use looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<auth-descriptor>

sometime slightly less than a year ago i sent a patch to the dev mailing list
for exactly that purpose.  Since then, i don't use it anymore.  I use an
xsp action with esql that i'll go ahead and attach.

If you really want the patch for dbauth, let me know-- but i consider it hackish.

RE: Redirect to referrer

Thanks (again) for the reply...it's taught me some new things that might
come in handy later on.

But in the short-term this doesn't solve the problem - when re-directing it
means that all the values in my Request object are lost, so when I use
<xsp-request:get-parameter> in my XSP page I don't get any data.

Unless there is a magic tag to include them in the re-direction, I will have
to go along with your original suggestion....

Regards

Chris

How about this one, then?

RE: [Q] SunSpot Portal Demo Error(NullPointerException) in Cocoon 2.0.2 and 2.1-dev

Yes, this problem is related to JDK 1.4. You can either switch
to JDK 1.3 or you have to put the versions of Xalan and Xerces
shipped with Cocoon into the lib/endorsed direcoty of your JRE
1.4. There is a section in the installation docs about running 
Cocoon with JDK 1.4.

Since multiple "important" DBMSs have problems with checking for
multiple result sets, it has been disabled by default for the current
CVS version. It can be re-enabled by using
<esql:allow-multiple-results>yes</esql:allow-multiple-results> Option
to <esql:connection/>.

Sorry, that is not possible.

Redirect-to send a redirect message to the client which in turn loads
a new URL (have a look at the URL line of your browser!)

  client                 cocoon
    -----request A-------->
    <----redirect to B----
    -----request B-------->
    <----response for B---

Therefore you'd need to store the data in a session or encode it into
the URL. There are might be an action for this.
(There's at least a "TestAction" in scratchpad, that copies all
parameters from a given InputModule -- e.g. request -- to a given
OutputModule -- e.g. session -- that will help. OTOH that was created
to test and illustrate those modules and is not tuned performancewise.)

soap call problems

Hi, I'm running cocoon 2.0.2 under tomcat 4.0.4b2.  I've created the example
web service under .NET, TempConvert1.  I can call this with no problems from
VB using the MSSOAP object.  I'm trying to call it using the xsp soap taglib
and I get the following error:

org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Error invoking remote service:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: port out range:-1:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: port out range:-1 

I can call other web services from cocoon with no dramas.  My soap call
looks like this:

  <search-results>
    <soap:call url="http://147.76.204.58/TempConvert1/Service1.asmx"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" 
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
      <ns1:ConvertTemperature xmlns:ns1="urn:Service1"> 
        <dFahrenheit xsi:type="xsd:string">100</dFahrenheit>
      </ns1:ConvertTemperature>
    </soap:call>
  </search-results>

NB. To those familiar with TempConvert1, I've changed the type of dFarenheit
from double to string.

Anybody got any ideas?

Chris.
