Sitemap and Action
Hi,
I am developing a WEB Page Content Management System. This system able to create a new web
page within cocoon2 environment. Because user can add new page, delete page, add folder with the
content management system, so I will need a dinamic sitemap to handler all the request.
I start to find out the solution to dinamically generate a sitemap, but fail. But at the time
i found a very powerfull feature in cocoon2 that is Action. Here is how i use action to get a
dinamic Sitemap:
Sitemap.xmap
<map:components>
...
...
<map:actions>
<!-- here i register my action -->
<map:action name="path-selector" src="action.PathSelector"/>
</map:actions>
</map:components>
<map:pipelines>
<map:pipeline>
<!-- here is the aggregation part -- >
<!-- here is the center part of the aggregation -- >
<!-- Note: the web page is a aggregated page, it aggregated from 5 smaller part -->
<!-- The path-selector action return the requested path URL and XSLPath for this web page -->
<!-- path-selection action will search the database to get the centerXSLPath and return to
the sitemap -- >
<map:match pattern="**.agg">
<map:act type="path-selector">
<map:parameter name="skel" value="false" />
<map:parameter name="template" value="1" />
<map:generate src="{path}"/>
<map:transform src="{centerXSLPath}"/>
</map:act>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
<!-- here is the foot_note of the aggregation page-- >
<!-- this part will only show the copyright information and address -->
<map:match pattern="foot_note.xml">
<map:generate src="xml/foot_note.xml"/>
<map:transform src="stylesheet/foot_note.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
<!-- here is the side_menu of the aggregation page-- >
<!-- here we use the dummy xml file, because we don't have any infomation to put -->
<!-- this part is only contain picture and javascript -- >
<map:match pattern="side_menu.xml">
<map:generate src="xml/dummy.xml"/>
<map:transform src="stylesheet/side_menu.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
<!-- here is the Navigation Link of the aggregation page-- >
<!-- User may use the Content Management System to select which page will be linked -->
<!-- and the linked page information will stored in database. -- >
<!-- This link will be generated according the information from database -- >
<!-- and we use esql tanglib to connect to the database -- >
<map:match pattern="links.xml">
<map:generate type="serverpages" src="xml/link.xsp"/>
<map:transform src="stylesheet/links.xsl"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
<!-- here is the aggregation mapping -->
<map:match pattern="**.xml">

</map:match>
<map:match pattern="**.rtf">
<map:act type="path-selector">

</map:act>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="*">
<map:act type="path-selector">
<map:read src="{path}" mime-type="application/winword"/>
</map:act>
</map:match>
I post this mail is to get your opinions and suggestions, is it the right way to solve the
problem ?
Thank

Re: Sitemap and Action
Posted by Sergio Carvalho <se...@acm.org>.
Thanks for sharing your solution. C2 is in its infancy, in terms of user
base, so the rate of new users is high. Use cases are always helpfull.
Yes, actions are one possible way to do it. They are definitely the
correct way if you think of CMS in terms of an adapting sitemap.
One other, equally valid solution would be to think of it in terms of a
configurable generator. In other words, a generator that multiplexes a
set of datasources, and selects the correct one for each request.
