There is a new thing in CVS HEAD called InputModules. I think that this is
what you are looking for. You can create an input module for servlet context
attributes (or wait a little - I think it will be available soon) and use
it like this in your sitemap:
<map:generate src="http://{app:server-port}/bin/get?foo" />
There is also another new thing in sitemap syntax, called
'global-parameters':
<map:pipelines>
<map:global-parameters>
<map:parameter name="servlet-port" value="8080" />
...
<map:generate src="http://{../server-port}/bin/get?foo" />
But AFAIK they can be set only from the mounting sitemap, so you'll have to
change your sitemaps anyway.

Global parameters can be done with input modules as well. See
the DefaultsMetaModule:
<input-modules logger="core.modules.input">
<component-instance class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.DefaultsMetaModule" name="defaults">
<input-module name="request"/>
<values>
<skin>defaultSkin</skin>
<base-url>http://localhost:8080/cocoon</base-url>
</values>
</component-instance>
</input-modules>
Declarable anywhere you can declare components (cocoon.xconf and
sitemap.xmap in map:components block)
This way you don't have to calculate the number of "../"'s and just
refer to them via "{defaults:skin}". :-)
Plus you can use it anywhere you can use modules (currently a matcher
plus all "new" database actions).
Plus the value can be overridden with any other input module (here:
request parameters).
Plus you can have any number of the above using different names.
Plus writing input modules is trivial.
Plus there're already docs about it in HEAD.
Chris.
