Ross, I have been able to add authentication and session blocks and created a profiled/protected type of document. Here is the link : http://www.batlin.com/devland/xmlpub/profiling.html. Hope that helps. I was looking to create a plugin for this, once I get the hang of 07 and cocoon.xconf splitting is done. Regards, Alex. -----Original Message----- From: Ross Gardler [mailto:rgardler@apache.org] Sent: 11 January 2005 12:48 To: Forrest Developers List Subject: Upgrade cocoon in 0.7-dev SVN head of Cocoon has just introduced the ability to split cocoon.xconf across multiple files. This will make the creation of more advanced plugins much easier to manage. My current project requires the use of the Authentication and Database blocks, both of which require changes to cocoon.xconf. I could do this work on a custom version of Forrest locally, or I could upgrade the Cocoon version in SVN and make them plugins. I've been watching the cocoon list and it seems the cocoon.xconf split is currently working, but has problems with in some areas that we do not use (forms for example). Shall I do this locally, or shall I do it in our SVN. If I do it in SVN I will ensure that I update it again if changes in Cocoon warrant such work. Clearly I would prefer to do it in SVN as it will mean two new plugins available for us (both only of use in a dynamic environment though). Ross -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
