Aggregation Example

[Stefan Baramov <St...@trx.com>]

Can someone post a simple aggregation example. I've read the user mail list, I've searched Forrest and Cocoon documentation on aggregation, and I found very little information. It has to be simple but I can get it right. I have no experience with Cocoon and I am getting lost. 

I would like to aggregate several XML files in a single one. 
How do I define my pipeline (in sitemap.xmap)? 
Or do I need multiple piplelines? 
How do I link the generate document with site.xml?


Thanks,
Stefan

http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/sitemap.html#Aggregating
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/sitemap.html#Protocols

There is an example in the Forrest core, but perhaps we should
put a very basic example in the "forrest seed" site.

You have not told us which version of forrest you are using.
For the current trunk (i.e. 0.7-dev) see webapp/sitemap.xmap
around line 490 and follow the aggregation where it gets its
parts from other sitemap matches using the "cocoon:" protocol.

Aggregation is done in the sitemap.xmap ... that is nothing
to do with site.xml ... We need an FAQ to reduce the
confusion caused by the name site.xml
