Accessing servlet from same webapp as cocoon

["Grange, John" <jo...@bluefinger.com>]

Hi,

We have a servlet contained in the same webapp as cocoon.  This servlet
generates the xml for our pipeline.  The only way we can get the file
generator to access this servlet is to use the full url e.g. 

http://devapp1.locavista.com:8005/ReportsEngine/xml/report{requestQuery}&amp
;reportType=default

This application will be deployed to different hosts and may use https on
some, so we need some transparent way of accessing it, without having to
change the protocol, hostname and port for each deployment.

the full pipeline is shown below:

			<map:match pattern="roieer.*">
				<map:act type="request">
					<map:parameter name="parameters"
value="true"/>
					<map:generate type="file"
src="http://devapp1.locavista.com:8005/ReportsEngine/xml/report{requestQuery
}&amp;reportType=default"/>
				</map:act>
				<!--<map:generate type="file"
src="docs/OutOfAreaReport.xml"/>-->
				<map:select type="parameter">
					<map:parameter
name="parameter-selector-test" value="{1}"/>
					<map:when test="xml">
						<map:serialize type="xml"/>
					</map:when>
					<map:when test="html">
						<map:transform
src="stylesheets/html/roieer2html.xslt"/>
						<map:serialize type="html"/>
					</map:when>
				</map:select>
			</map:match>
