| <h1>Warning!</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| The XML:DB generators are currently unmaintained and going to be |
| deprecated soon. Please use the XML:DB pseudo-protocol instead. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <h1>XML:DB Generator</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| Generates XML documents out of an XML:DB compliant database. XML:DB |
| is a generic API developed by the XML:DB group in order to allow access |
| via a consistent API to the upcoming XML databases such as dbXML, |
| Ozone and eXist (as of now only the first one has an almost compliant |
| API implementation). |
| For the sake of this document, an XML:DB compliant database can be |
| seen as a filesystem where directories are called "collections" and |
| files are called "resources". |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>Name: xmldb</li> |
| |
| <li>Class: org.apache.cocoon.generation.XMLDBGenerator</li> |
| |
| <li>Cacheable: no</li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| The generator needs to be configured in a "JDBCish" way: a driver |
| (a class name) must be provided, together with a "base" URI. An example |
| configuration, based on the stock dbXML implementation, will look like |
| this: |
| </p> |
| |
| <pre class="code"> |
| <map:generator name="xmldb" |
| src="org.apache.cocoon.generation.XMLDBGenerator" |
| label="content"> |
| <driver>org.dbxml.client.xmldb.DatabaseImpl</driver> |
| <base>xmldb:dbxml:///db/</base> |
| </map:generator> |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p> |
| Note that the content of the "base" tag will be prepended to the |
| requested resource. It's important to keep a trailing slash at the |
| end of the <span class="codefrag">base</span> tag. |
