Simple parameter substitution not working in sub-sitemap?
Hi,
Haven't done this for a while, but why doesn't it work?
<map:match pattern="*.*">
<map:generate src="{1}.{2}"/>
<map:serialize type="{2}"/>
</map:match>
When trying: test.html , I get:
Type '{2}' is not defined for 'serialize' at...
I'm working in a sub-sitemap.

Not that I know.
But also don't forget that you can't set default values.
If it is important for anyone check the archives for the reasons. I
guess this issue hasn't come up the first time.
If you don't find anything or you're not satisfied with the explanations
you can ask on dev@ for the reasons why variable substituion is not
allowed in @type attributes.
Best,
Reinhard

I see now. But it does make sense to have this functionality IMHO.
Imagine Tuomo's usecase a bit more extended
<map:match pattern="*.*">
<map:generate src="{1}.{2}"/>
<map:transform type="{2}"/>
<map:serialize type="{2}"/>
</map:match>
Using the old syntax this becomes
<map:match pattern="*.*">
<map:select type="parameter">
<map:parameter name="parameter-selector-test" value="{2}"/>
<!-- for each possible file extension you need to have this block -->
<map:when test="svg">
<map:generate src="{1}.{2}"/>
<map:transform type="svg"/>
<map:serialize type="svg"/>
</map:when>
<map:when test="video">
<map:generate src="{1}.{2}"/>
<map:transform type="video"/>
<map:serialize type="video"/>
</map:when>
......
</map:select>
</map:match>
Or is there a better way to translate above usecase to sitemap syntax?

This had nothing to do with setting parameters but with variables in
@type attributes. AFAIK you can't set the type of a pipeline component
(generators, transformers, serializers) using a variable or an input
module.

parameter substitution does not work for serializers for some reason.
Recently the serializers have been changed to be able to receive sitemap
parameters - @developers: is there a reason why the serializer is
excluded from sitemap parameter substitution?

Well, my application has dozens of sub-sitemaps, and I wouldn't like to
write this map:select section in each of them. I thought of calling a
resource located at the parent sitemap, but it's not supported either!
Maybe I have to generate my sitemaps dynamically by using cinclude. What
do you think? Does it slow down the whole app?

Tuomo,
replacing the type attribute is not supported. Use a selector instead.
