sitemap construction help

[Tom Loebach <lo...@yahoo.com>]

This is probably a pretty basic question but I am having a had time figuring out how to create a sitemap entry that handles the following situation.

I want to send cocoon a URI that looks like this:

http://server:8080/cocoon/app?color=red (or)

http://server:8080/cocoom/app?color=blue

I have a server that generates XML based upon a generator request that looks like this:

http://server/xml_generator?color=red (or)

http://server/xml_generator?color=blue

My xml_generator is a service that provides different XML output based upon the value of the "color" variable.

My question is "How do I write the sitemap entry when I want to pass variables in the URI"?

A sitemap entry that works but is undesirable is this:

<map:match pattern="/appred">
  <map:generate src=http://server/xml_generator?color=red/>
  <map:transform src="document2html.xsl"/>
  <map:serialize/>
</map:match>

I want to write a sitemap entry that looks like this but it does not work. I want to be able to have a variable in the URI be passed to the generator.

<map:match pattern="/app*">
  <map:generate src=http://server/xml_generator{1}/>
  <map:transform src="document2html.xsl"/>
  <map:serialize/>
</map:match>

So if I sent cocoon a URI like this; http://server/app?color=red, I would expect the generator to send a request that looks like this; http://server/xml_generator?color=red.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can write the sitemap entry to allow for variables?

Thanks,

Please look into matchers which cocoon provides. One which will work for
exactly the situation you are describing is RequestParameterMatcher. If
you define it with name 'request-parameter' then pipeline will look
like:

<map:match pattern="/app">
  <map:match type="request-parameter" pattern="color">

    <map:generate src=http://server/xml_generator?color={1}/>
    <map:transform src="document2html.xsl"/>
    <map:serialize/>
  </map:match>
</map:match>
