| <h1>File Generator</h1> |
| |
| <p>The file generator reads an xml document from the local file system or from any url. |
| While url generator may appear to be a more suitable name, it's known as the file generator for historical reasons.</p> |
| |
| <p>The file generator is the default generator.</p> |
| |
| <p>The location of the source xml document is specified in |
| the pipeline by the src attribute.</p> |
| |
| <pre class="code"> |
| |
| <map:generate src="document.xml" type="file"/> |
| <!-- The type attribute can be omitted as it is the default generator. --> |
| |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p> |
| You can also use an absolute filesystem pathname. See the explanation of |
| <a href="../concepts/sitemap.html#file-url">file: URLs</a> |
| |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Be careful to only request xml or xhtml documents, and not html documents. |
| You would get surprising results, including network trips for HTML DTDs |
| that are not provided by Cocoon, and xml parsing errors. |
| Use the "HTMLGenerator instead. |
