[C2] Parameters for generators

[Klaasen Tom <To...@the-ecorp.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a pipeline in the sitemap that allows to get different
XML documents depending on the language. Each document exists in several
languages, and I want to get the one specified by the language entry in e.g.
a cookie.

My idea to proceed was something like this:

   <map:match pattern="mydoc.html">
 	<map:act type="lang_select">
		<map:generate type="slide" src="mydoc.xml">
			<language map:value="{lang}"/>
		</map:generate>
	</map:act>
 
   	<map:transform type="xslt" src="stylesheets/simple.xsl"/>
   	<map:serialize type="html"/>
   </map:match>

The generator of type "slide" is a generator written by us to get content
from an api we built on top of the slide repository.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to get a hold on the "language"
parameter I specify. Also setting it as an attribute doesn't seem to be a
solution, since a Generator can only take the "src" attribute in account.

Is there
(a) a reason for the hard-coding of only one available parameter;
(b) a workaround for this;
(c) another solution that will work under C2?

Thanks for your comments,

tomK

Have you tried using

  <parameter name="language" value="{lang}"/>

I'm quite sure the sitemap engine will replaces value attribute of parameters 
with variables. I'm not sure if the syntax you are using (<language 
map:value="{lang}"/> is still valid (it will be parsed but no replacement 
takes place) because it had a FIXME from myself noting that it might be old 
syntax. 

I've committed a patch that fixes that but want to hear if the syntax Tom has 
used is still somthing you all would like to further support.

Tom,

Did you try the following?

  	<map:act type="lang_select">
 		<map:generate type="slide" src="mydoc.{lang}.xml">
 		</map:generate>
 	</map:act>
  
Thanks,
dims
