treeprocessor question

[Stefano Mazzocchi <st...@apache.org>]

Is it currently possible to write a sitemap without the <map:components> 
element alltogether and let it inherit everything from the above sitemap?

If not, why?

If so, there are issues with this?

TIA

Stefano.

AFAIK and from use cases I've seen it's a welcome feature; it's quite 
common to keep it only in the main sitemap and redefine it in special cases.

Yes. This is taken care of in SitemapLanguage.java

Issues ? No that I'm aware of...

Yes : if a <map:pipeline> has no <map:handle-errors>, exceptions are 
propagated to the parent sitemap, and so on up to CocoonServlet.

Drawbacks ? No that I'm aware of... ;-)

Mmmh... you're in "telegraphic mode", today ;-P
