Using I18NTransformer with Dynamic Locales

All,

I'd like to start using the I18NTransformer so I can localize the
output of my XSLTs. We have what I believe to be a somewhat unique
situation with regard to the actual source of the locale information.

Here goes:

We have Cocoon set up as a webapp all by itself, separate from our
"real" webapp. Our pipelines take incoming HTTP requests and
essentially forward them, with modifications of course, to our "real"
webapp that produces XML for consumption by Cocoon. The Cocoon webapp
does not maintain session state of any kind: it merely forwards
requested session ids from the incoming request through the outgoing
request to the "real" webapp.

The "real" webapp knows what the user's preferred Locale is, and can
provide that information back to Cocoon if necessary. We have lots of
options: HTTP response headers, something in the XML document
returned, etc.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to get any of those data when calling
the I18N transformer itself.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

If I can't come up with anything else, I'll have to encode the locale
in each request's URL which, while doable, will likely be fragile and
a total PITA to actually accomplish.

Thanks,
-chris

Re: Cocoon - Tomcat - APEX for FOP PDF printing

Could you check that cocoon is correctly running on Tomcat 7.x (i.e. has a
correct picture)?

Re: Using I18NTransformer with Dynamic Locales

Hi Christopher,

The locale of the I18nTransformer may be set a sitemap parameter :
<map:transform type="i18n>
<map:parameter name="locale" value="XXXX"/>
</map:transform>

In this cas, the actual locale value may be computed in a surrounding 
action :

<map:act type="proxy">
<map:generate/>
<map:transform type="i18n>
<map:parameter name="locale" value="{locale}"/>
</map:transform>
<map:serialize/>
</map:act>

where the "proxy" action actually proxy the request to your "real" 
webapp, get the responses header you mentionned and put it in the result 
map.

Regards,
Cédric

XML-> PDF bad encoding

Appologize in front if this is somewhere explained, but as I'm not guru in
Cocoon, after 5 days of google search and testing all possible combinations,
haven't found a solution. So here is brief problem description 

When I test file generation from WEB URL, (source->output), : 
XML->XML correct (simple copy test to see if it read OK and write OK) 
XML->RTF correct 
XML-PDF problem (national characters has "#") 

I have read "http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/faq.html#pdf-characters",
chapter 6.2 which shows exactly what I have but when I implement a feature
some national character (ĐđČčĆć in unicode notation) remain as "#" signs). 

Is this really a bug or there is a solution, so please once more apologize
for some dumb entries in this issue, but pretty lost in this case.

Funky

RE: XML-> PDF bad encoding

Does that apply to all non-ASCII characters, or only to those you mention (which are not part of Latin-1)?
Did you check that the font description to give to FOP have glyphs for these specific codes?

Re: XML-> PDF bad encoding

RE: XML-> PDF bad encoding

Correct. This apply to many  non-ASCII characters but in Croatian most
important are those mentioned.
Font (mentioned in inline description) is "Arial Unicode MS" (tried frankly
many others) and they all have correct output from MS Word, MS Wordpad, or
any other app in Windows that I know. I'm not sure if this is the answer on
your question.
What I'd like to see is one XML with mentioned characters (ĐŠŽĆČđšžćč) which
can be correctly reproduced in PDF as output.

Re: XML-> PDF bad encoding

Hi,
Maybe you haven't noticed or it was somehow missed, but in mine first post
it was written:
"Mine conf is Win 2008 R2 x64 (Windows XP SP3 x86) Win 1250 CP, Tomcat
6.0.33, Cocoon 2.1.11."
So this is mine conf.

To reproduce the problem just use original posting:
C:\Program
Files\Tomcat\webapps\cocoon\samples\blocks\fop\misc\minimal.fo.xml 
in which place:
đšžćčŠĐŽĆČ letters
and
C:\Program Files\Tomcat\webapps\cocoon\samples\blocks\fop\sitemap.xmap
which makes complete solution together.
Rg,
Damir
