There is already such action in Cocoon:
src\java\org\apache\cocoon\acting\RequestParamAction.java
But I'd prefer to use already implemented input module, which looks much
better in the sitemap.

hi konstantin
i plan to create an action that will create sitiemap variables for
specific request-parameters not for use only with i18n
is there any simple action or any howto create an action for cocoon?
i need just a point to start form (something for example)
thnx

Another possibility is to create an InputModule that will act exactly like
the LocaleAction, so you'll be able to use it like this:
src="{i18n:locale}_data.xml"
and even now you can use the 'request-param' module for that:
src="{request-param:locale}_data.xml"

Re: i18n catalogue and sql
Posted by Darren Petrie <dp...@anteon.com>.
You can access a request parameter variable inside your sitemap via a
matcher or a selector
<map:matcher name="request-parameter"
src="org.apache.cocoon.matching.RequestParameterMatcher"/>
<map:selector name="request-parameter"
src="org.apache.cocoon.selection.RequestSelector"/>
As a matcher---
<map:match pattern="mydoc">
<map:match type="request-parameter" pattern="locale">
<map:generate src="xdocs/mydoc-{1}.xml"/>
</map:match>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
As a selector---
<map:match pattern="mydoc">
<map:select type="request-parameter">
<map:parameter name="parameter-name" value="locale"/>
<map:when test="en">
..do something
</map:when>
<map:otherwise>
..do something else
</map:otherwise>
</map:select>
</map:match>
Hope that answers your question.

hi martin this is a way to send a parameter inside your xsl file (pretty
good) but i need something else
i want to use a request parameter as a variable inside my sitemap
example
if i have http://../...?locale=el
src="{locale}_data.xml"
point to el_data.xml
(i have do something similar using a action just like in i18n example from
2.1 version of cocoon but i'm wondering if there is another way to do this
without action)

You can use the request parameter like this:
<map:transform src="stylesheets/mystyle.xsl">
<map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/>
<map:parameter name="region" value="{request:locale}"/>
</map:transform>

http://...../el/test

<map:match pattern="*/*">

but how can do something similar using parameter?

using {1} or {2} i refer to first or second * in pattern

It's not recommended to use i18n transformer for large texts. There are
several other ways to solve that task: use XInclude/CInclude, XSLT with
document() function, sitemap aggregation, etc. Another possibility is to use
separate content files for different languages, e.g: index_en.xml,
index_ru.xml, ..., and then use an action or an input module to retrieve the
needed one based on the user's locale (you can use LocaleAction and its
'language' sitemap parameter).

Recently there was commited a patch that allowed to use any source as input
for the XML catalogue, so you can easily use 'cocoon:/' protocol or any
other to retrieve your dictionary data from a database. Note, that
implementation of i18n and especially the catalogue handling part is quite
different in 2.0.x and 2.1-dev versions.
