sitemap browser

[Lars Huttar <la...@sil.org>]

Dear Cocoon folks,
I've done some work on a sitemap browser... it's a Cocoon application 
(basically a couple of XSLT stylesheets and a sitemap) that lets you 
explore Cocoon sitemaps.

Abstract: A simple Cocoon sitemap can be clean and elegant. But as 
pipelines aggregate calls to other pipelines, and the number of 
pipelines increases, a sitemap can become difficult to follow. Sitemap 
Browser (SB) addresses this problem by visualizing a sitemap as an HTML 
document, displaying each pipeline next to the pipeline(s) it calls, and 
by hyperlinking related pipelines to each other for easy navigation. SB 
works to some degree on unmodified sitemaps but works better if you add 
sb:* markup to help handle the harder cases. SB can also be a convenient 
aid in unit testing, as a framework for linking to a sample invocation 
of each pipeline.

The sitemap browser can be downloaded from the wiki 
(http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/SitemapBrowser). Please let me know if 
this seems useful, or sparks any ideas.

Lars
