Snipplets about how to use the LDAP Transformer

Official Cocoon doc: Cocoon LDAP Transformer

Getting the Transformer

The LDAP Tranformer is not included in Cocoon 2.0.3/4 binary version. You have to build your own Version of Cocoon with LDAP Transformer from the sources. How this can be done can be found on http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/installing/index.html.

Components configuration:

      <map:transformers>
         <map:transformer name="ldap" 
           src="org.apache.cocoon.transformation.LDAPTransformer"/>
      </map:transformers>

Little example pipeline:

         <map:match pattern="doldapqry">
            <map:generate src="LdapQry.xml" />
            <map:transform type="ldap" />
            <map:serialize type="xml" /> 
         </map:match>
