Content:
<html>
<body>
<p>Generates an XML collection listing performing XPath queries on XML sources.
It can be used both as a plain TraversableGenerator or, if an XPath is
specified, it will perform an XPath query on every XML resource, where "xml
resource" is, by default, any resource ending with ".xml", which can be
overriden by setting the (regexp) pattern <tt>xmlFiles</tt> (this has the effect
of increasing, not limiting, the scope of the search) as a sitemap parameter, or
where the name of the resource has a container-wide mime-type mapping to
'text/xml' such as specified by mime-mapping elements in a web.xml descriptor
file. The XPath can be specified in two ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>By using an XPointerish syntax in the URL: everything following the pound
sign (possiby preceding query string arguments) will be treated as the XPath;
</li>
<li>Specifying it as a sitemap parameter named "xpath"</li>
</ol>
<p class="note">XPathTraversableGemerator It is a subclass of
TraversableGenerator, hence it uses the same st of parameters, adding some of
its own.</p>
<p><strong> Sample usage:</strong></p>
<pre><strong>Sitemap:</strong>
<map:match pattern="documents/**">
<map:generate type="xpathdirectory" src="docs/{1}#/article/title|/article/abstract" >
<map:parameter name="xmlFiles" value="\.xml$"/>
</map:generate>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>

<p class="note">If you need to use namespaces, you can set them as sitemap
parameters in the form:<br/>
<tt><map:parameter name="xmlns:<em>your prefix</em>"
value="nsURI"/**"></tt></p>
