Read file and use it's contents in pipeline?

["Linczak, Jonathan W." <Li...@hiram.edu>]

OK,

This is probably a really simple question, but I didn't find any quick answers, so I really hope you can help.

Say I have a very simple XML file (simple.xml) with the following contents:

<roottag>
  <option>Some value</option>
</roottag>

I would like to create a pipeline that reads the XML file above, and then use it in the pipeline, perhaps like this:

<map:pipeline>
  <map:match pattern="something">
    <map:read src="simple.xml"/>
    <map:redirect-to url="http://www.someplace.com/test.php?id={value inside <option> tag}"/>
  </map:match>
</map:pipeline>

Any way to grab the contents of the file read and use it in the pipeline?

Hi,

Question looks simple, but doesn't have to be.

If your roottag xml is static (some config file), you can define a customized XMLInputModule.

Otherwise, you can resort to cinclude, with which you can specify request parameters and request 
method in a xml that you could generate and then transform with type="cinclude". I believe there are 
other transformers as well.

Other question is, what is the result of test.php, not (XML) content you want to process?

Cheers
