-<font color="black" face="verdana,helvetica,sanserif">A generator is the starting point of an xml pipeline. It generates XML content as SAX events and initializes pipeline processing. Every pipeline match containing a generator must be terminated by a serializer.

-<font color="black" face="verdana,helvetica,sanserif">
-In the sitemap file, each generator has a unique name which is mapped to a java class. One generator name must be declared as the default generator. Each generator may have additional configuration information specified in child elements.

-A matcher is a core sitemap component of Cocoon. Matchers are used to determine the flow, order, and components involved in request processing. Matchers typically contain a generator and a serializer. They may redirect requests to other pipelines or call other sitemap resources. Matchers may also be nested with other matchers.
- </font>
-</p>
-
-<p>
-<font color="black" face="verdana,helvetica,sanserif">
-Matchers are executed during pipeline setup. They determine which pipeline will process a URI request. Most typically, the match is based on the requested URI string. However, a number of other matchers exist, for example, Session and Cookie matchers.

-
-<p>
-<font color="black" face="verdana,helvetica,sanserif">
-In the sitemap file, each matcher has a unique name which is mapped to a java class. One matcher name must be declared as the default matcher. Each matcher may have additional configuration information specified in child elements.

+A matcher is a core sitemap component of Cocoon. Matchers are used to determine the flow, order, and components involved in request processing.

+<font color="black" face="verdana,helvetica,sanserif">
+A selector is a core sitemap component of Cocoon. Selectors are designed to evaluate a
+generally simple boolean expression regarding some part of the environment (request URI, headers, or cookies, for example). The result of this evaluation determines which pipeline fragments should be combined within a given pipeline. Selectors are executed during pipeline setup.
+ </font>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<font color="black" face="verdana,helvetica,sanserif">
+In the sitemap file, each selector has a unique name which is mapped to a java class. One selector name must be declared as the default selector. Each selector may have additional configuration information specified in child elements.
+ </font>

+<font color="black" face="verdana,helvetica,sanserif">
+ For more conceptual information about selectors see <a href="../userdocs/concepts/matchers_selectors.html">Using and Implementing Matchers and Selectors</a>. For detailed descriptions about all of the available Cocoon selectors, see the user's guide document <a href="../userdocs/selectors/selectors.html">Matchers in Cocoon</a>. You may also wish to consult the Cocoon API documentation.

+
+
+<p>
+<font color="black" face="verdana,helvetica,sanserif">
+Both matchers and selectors can be used to determine the flow, order, and components involved in request processing. Their differences include the complexity of the decisions they can make about processing as well as the values they return to the sitemap. For a more detailed discussion of their similarities and differences, see <a href="../userdocs/concepts/matchers_selectors.html">Using and Implementing Matchers and Selectors</a>.
