Hi Geoff. Thanks for helping me.
If you don't mind, I want to ask you some more questions, cause I still
don't really understand what I have to do.

1. I didin't find any example of xsp using Rhino. Can you give me an
example, or a URL to the page with example? I am sorry, but I tried hard to
find examples, and I just didn't succeed. In Cocoon documentation it is
mentioned that Rhino can be used as an XSP scripting language, but they
don't give any example.
2. Can I use JSGenerator instead of ServerPagesGenerator on the pipeline?

All these things confuse me alot, and I'll be very happy if you gave me some
more clues.
Thank you very very much and sorry for attacking you with so many questions.

Anna

Ugh.  This may spell bad news: see inline comments.

If you are comfortable in java as well as javascript
(at least reasonably so) you may want to look into
using a java based javascript interpreter - looking
into the cocoon javascript generator
(org.apache.cocoon.components.language.markup.xsp.JSGenerator)
and other JS related sources around there in the
source tree it looks like cocoon is using Rhino
(http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/).  Then, you can write
your xsp in java (which has far more features and
users) but still execute arbitrary javascript code
when you find it.  That said, I think you're on a
potentially very confusing path because of all the
places javascript can be in an html page, and all the
DOM objects it's likely to reference.

Still, this may work and I'd be very interested to
hear how it goes and help as I can - but I've never
touched Rhino and can't right now.

Right, sorry about that.  I had seen in another email
that you were using <util:include-expr> so I left that
part out for simplicity but forgot to comment as such.

Not surprising - just checked and javascript xsp's
have only request, response and session logicsheets.
I don't know if it's possible to recreate the include
expression functionality in javascript - you may want
to send a very specific question on that to this list,
making clear that you know it doesn't yet exist.

I don't know if you can - you can't from a browser,
but that may be only because of the security
limitations imposed.

See above.

Right.  It doesn't exist in javascript.
