cocoon.xconf

2.0.3 seems to have problems using xsltc to compile the sitemap. So you need to install xsltc side-by-side with Xalan.

In the "xslt processor" section of cocoon.xconf, add

  <xslt-processor class="org.apache.cocoon.components.xslt.XSLTProcessorImpl" 
     logger="core.xslt-processor"
     role="org.apache.cocoon.components.xslt.XSLTProcessor/XSLTC"
  >
     <parameter name="use-store" value="true"/>
     <parameter name="transformer-factory"   
        value="org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl"
     />
  </xslt-processor>

There are two differences between this and the regular xslt component declaration:

  • you are giving this component a "role"
  • you are specifying a different transformer factory which points to xsltc.

sitemap.xmap

In the transformers section of your sitemap, add:

    <map:transformer name="xslt-xsltc" 
       logger="sitemap.transformer.xslt"
       src="org.apache.cocoon.transformation.TraxTransformer" 
       pool-max="32" 
       pool-min="16" 
       pool-grow="4"
    >
       <use-request-parameters>false</use-request-parameters>
       <use-browser-capabilities-db>false</use-browser-capabilities-db>
       <xslt-processor-role>
           org.apache.cocoon.components.xslt.XSLTProcessor/XSLTC
       </xslt-processor-role>
    </map:transformer>

Note that you are specifying the processor with the role you assigned earlier.

You probably also want to change the default transformer to be xsltc:

    <map:transformers default="xslt-xsltc">

I was unable to use mix xslt and xsltc transformations in a single pipeline--I got strange errors.

I also noticed (minor) incompatibilities between xsltc and Xalan. (I had trouble with document('x'), and found a weird problem with <xsl:variable name="x" select="normalize-space(thumbs up)"/> which I fixed by rewriting it as <xsl:variable name="x"><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(thumbs up)"/>...).

Many thanks to Vadim for his help with this.


I am unable to get this to work with 2.0.4 - Cocoon Confusion results.

''can someone confirm this, please? I'm considering using 2.0.4 +
