+ Technically, Forrest can be thought of as a
+ <a href="http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/">Cocoon</a> distribution that has been stripped
+ down and optimized for people with simple site publishing needs. Central
+ to Cocoon, and hence Forrest, is the <strong>sitemap</strong>. The sitemap
+ defines the site's URI space (what pages are available), and how each page
+ is constructed. Understanding the sitemap is the key to understanding
+ Forrest.

+
+<div class="note">
+<div class="label">Note</div>
+<div class="content">
+ We advise you to spend time to understand the Apache Cocoon sitemap. See
+ <a href="http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/sitemap.html">Cocoon sitemap</a> and
+ <a href="http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/">Cocoon concepts</a> and related
+ component documentation. It is also necessary to understand the "**" and
+ "*" pattern matching and replacements. See the email thread: "Re: explain
+ sitemap matches and pass parameters to transformers"
+ <a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-874">FOR-874</a>.

+ The example sitemap fragments might be out-of-date because since this
+ document was written, the core sitemaps in main/webapp/ have changed and
+ some of the specialised processing has moved to plugins. View your source
+ sitemaps when reading this document. (See

+ Forrest's sitemap comprises the multiple
+ $FORREST_HOME/main/webapp/*.xmap files. The main one is
+ <strong>sitemap.xmap</strong> which delegates to others, including to
+ sitemaps in the various
+ <a href="../pluginDocs/plugins_0_100/pluginInfrastructure.html">plugins</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ You can add pre-processing sitemaps to your project
+ <span class="codefrag">src/documentation</span> directory (or wherever
+ <span class="codefrag">${project.sitemap-dir}</span> points to). Any match that is not
+ handled, passes through to be handled by the default Forrest sitemaps -
+ obviously extremely powerful. The capability is described in
+ "<a href="../docs_0_100/project-sitemap.html">Using project sitemaps</a>".
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Another way to experiment with the sitemap is to do '<span class="codefrag">forrest

+<div class="section">
+<p>
+ Most *.xmap files (forrest, aggregate, faq, status, issues, revisions,
+ dtd) define Source pipelines. Source pipelines define the content (body)
+ XML for site pages. The input XML format can be any format
+ (document-v13, Docbook, RSS, FAQ, Howto) and from any source (local or
+ remote). The output format is always Forrest's intermediate
+ "document-v13" format.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Source pipelines always have a "<span class="codefrag">.xml</span>" extension. Thus,
+ <a href="index.xml">index.xml</a> gives you the XML source for the
+ index page. Likewise, <a href="faq.xml">faq.xml</a> gives you XML
+ for the FAQ (transformed from FAQ syntax), and
+ <a href="changes.xml">changes.xml</a> returns XML from the
+ status.xml file. Take any page, and replace its extension
+ (<span class="codefrag">.html</span> or <span class="codefrag">.pdf</span>) with <span class="codefrag">.xml</span> and
+ you'll have the Source XML.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This is quite powerful, because we now have an abstraction layer, or
+ "virtual filesystem", on which the rest of Forrest's sitemap can build.
+ Subsequent layers don't need to care whether the XML was obtained
+ locally or remotely, or from what format. Wikis, RSS, FAQs and Docbook
+ files are all processed identically from here on.

+<h3 class="underlined_5">forrest.xmap</h3>
+<p>
+ Most of the usual Source pipelines are defined in
+ <span class="codefrag">forrest.xmap</span> which is the default (fallback) handler for
+ <span class="codefrag">**.xml</span> pages. The forrest.xmap uses the
+ <a href="../docs_0_100/cap.html">SourceTypeAction</a> to determine the type of
+ XML it is processing, and converts it to document-v13 if necessary.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For instance, say we are rendering <a href="../howto-howto.html">a
+ Howto document</a> called "howto-howto.xml". It contains this
+ DOCTYPE declaration:
+ </p>
+<pre class="code">
+<!DOCTYPE howto PUBLIC "-//APACHE//DTD How-to V1.3//EN"
+ "http://forrest.apache.org/dtd/howto-v13.dtd"></pre>
+<p>
+ The SourceTypeAction sees this, and applies this transform to get it
+ to document-v13:
+ </p>
+<pre class="code">
+
+ <map:when test="howto-v13">
+ <map:transform src="{forrest:forrest.stylesheets}/howto-to-document.xsl" />
+ </map:when>

+<a name="other_source"></a>
+<h3 class="underlined_5">Other source pipelines</h3>
+<p>
+ As mentioned above, all non-core Source pipelines are distributed in
+ independent <span class="codefrag">*.xmap</span> files. There is a block of
+ <span class="codefrag">sitemap.xmap</span> which simply delegates certain requests to
+ these subsitemaps:
+ </p>
+<pre class="code">
+
+<!-- Body content -->
+ <map:match pattern="**.xml">

+<a name="late_binding_pipelines"></a>
+<h4>Late-binding pipelines</h4>
+<p>
+ One point of interest here is that the sub-sitemap is often not
+ specific about which URLs it handles, and relies on the caller (the
+ section listed above) to only pass relevant requests to it. We term
+ this "binding a URL" to a pipeline.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For instance, the main pipeline in <span class="codefrag">faq.xmap</span> matches
+ <span class="codefrag">**.xml</span>, but only <span class="codefrag">**faq.xml</span> requests are
+ sent to it.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This "late binding" is useful, because the whole URL space is
+ managed in <span class="codefrag">sitemap.xmap</span> and not spread over lots of
+ *.xmap files. For instance, say you wish all <span class="codefrag">*.xml</span>
+ inside a "<span class="codefrag">faq/</span>" directory to be processed as FAQs. Just
+ override <span class="codefrag">sitemap.xmap</span> and redefine the relevant source
+ matcher:
+ </p>
+<pre class="code">

+ Meaning that it is defined in the <span class="codefrag">menu.xmap</span> file. In there

+ are three supported menu systems (see <a href="../docs_0_100/linking.html">menus
+ and linking</a>). We will not go through the sitemap itself
+ (menu.xmap), but will instead describe the logical steps involved:
+ </p>
+<ol>
+
+<li>Take site.xml and expand hrefs so that they are all
+ root-relative.</li>
+
+<li>

+ generation</a>):
+ </p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>
+<p>
+ For "@tab" menu generation, we first ensure each site.xml node
+ has a tab attribute (inherited from a parent if necessary), and
+ then pass through nodes whose tab attribute matches that of the
+ "current" node.
+ </p>
+
+<p>
+ For example, say our current page's path is
+ <span class="codefrag">community/howto/index.html</span>. In
+ <span class="codefrag">site.xml</span> we look for the node with this
+ "<span class="codefrag">href</span>" and discover its "<span class="codefrag">tab</span>"
+ attribute value is "<span class="codefrag">howtos</span>". We then prune the
+ <span class="codefrag">site.xml</span>-derived content to contain only nodes with
+ <span class="codefrag">tab="howtos"</span>.
+ </p>
+
+<p>
+ All this is done with XSLT, so the sitemap snippet does not
+ reveal this complexity:

+
+<map:transform type="xpath">

+ <span class="codefrag">community/howto/index.html</span> then "<span class="codefrag">{1}</span>"
+ will be <span class="codefrag">community/howto/</span> and the transformer will
+ include all nodes in that directory.
+ </p>
+</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+ We now have a <span class="codefrag">site.xml</span> subset relevant to our current
+ page.
+ </p>
+</li>
+
+<li>The "<span class="codefrag">href</span>" nodes in this are then made relative to the
+ current page.</li>
+
+<li>The XML is then transformed into a legacy "<span class="codefrag">book.xml</span>"

+ </p>
+<pre class="code">
+<map:transform type="linkrewriter" src="cocoon:/{1}linkmap-{2}.html"/>
+ </pre>
+<p>
+ This statement is Cocoon's linking system in action. A full description
+ is provided in <a href="../docs_0_100/linking.html">Menus and Linking</a>. Here
+ we describe the implementation of linking.
+ </p>
+<a name="input_modules"></a>
+<h3 class="underlined_5">Cocoon foundations: Input Modules</h3>
+<p>
+ The implementation of <span class="codefrag">site:</span> linking is heavily based on
+ Cocoon <a href="http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/modules.html">Input Modules</a>, a
+ little-known but quite powerful aspect of Cocoon. Input Modules are
+ generic Components which simply allow you to look up a value with a
+ key. The value is generally dynamically generated, or obtained by
+ querying an underlying data source.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In particular, Cocoon contains an <span class="codefrag">XMLFileModule</span>, which
+ lets one look up the value of an XML node, by interpreting the key as
+ an XPath expression. Cocoon also has a
+ <span class="codefrag">SimpleMappingMetaModule</span>, which allows the key to be
+ rewritten before it is used to look up a value.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The idea for putting these together to rewrite "<span class="codefrag">site:</span>"
+ links was described in <a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=103992708800001&r=1&w=2">this
+ thread</a>. The idea is to write a Cocoon Transformer that triggers
+ on encountering <link href="<span class="codefrag">scheme:address</span>">, and
+ interprets the <span class="codefrag">scheme:address</span> internal URI as
+ <span class="codefrag">inputmodule:key</span>. The transformer then uses the named
+ InputModule to look up the key value. The <span class="codefrag">scheme:address</span>
+ URI is then rewritten with the found value. This transformer was
+ implemented as
+ <a href="http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/apidocs/org/apache/cocoon/transformation/LinkRewriterTransformer.html">LinkRewriterTransformer</a>,
+ currently distributed as a "block" in Cocoon 2.1
+ (see <a href="http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/apidocs/org/apache/cocoon/transformation/LinkRewriterTransformer.html">API docs</a>).
+ </p>
+<a name="implement_rewriting"></a>
+<h3 class="underlined_5">Implementing "site:" rewriting</h3>
+<p>
+ Using the above components, "<span class="codefrag">site:</span>" URI rewriting is
+ accomplished as follows.
+ </p>
+<a name="cocoon_xconf"></a>
+<h4>cocoon.xconf</h4>
+<p>
+ First, we declare all the input modules we will be needing:
+ </p>
+<pre class="code">
+
+<!-- For the site: scheme -->
+<component-instance
+ class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.XMLFileModule"
+ logger="core.modules.xml" name="linkmap"/>
+
+<!-- Links to URIs within the site -->
+<component-instance
+ class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.SimpleMappingMetaModule"
+ logger="core.modules.mapper" name="site"/>
+
+<!-- Links to external URIs, as distinct from 'site' URIs -->
+<component-instance
+ class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.SimpleMappingMetaModule"
+ logger="core.modules.mapper" name="ext"/>
+
+ </pre>
+<ul>
+
+<li>
+<strong>linkmap</strong> will provide access to the contents of
+ <span class="codefrag">site.xml</span>; for example, <span class="codefrag">linkmap:/site/about/index/@href</span>
+ would return the value "index.html".</li>
+
+<li>
+<strong>site</strong> provides a "mask" over
+ <strong>linkmap</strong> such that <span class="codefrag">site:index</span> expands
+ to <span class="codefrag">linkmap:/site//index/@href</span>
+</li>
+
+<li>
+<strong>ext</strong> provides another "mask" over
+ <strong>linkmap</strong>, such that <span class="codefrag">ext:ant</span> would
+ expand to <span class="codefrag">linkmap:/site/external-refs//ant/@href</span>
+</li>
+
+</ul>
+<p>
+ However at the moment, we have only declared the input modules. They
+ will be configured in <span class="codefrag">sitemap.xmap</span> as described in the
+ next section.
+ </p>
+<a name="sitemap"></a>
+<h4>sitemap.xmap</h4>
+<p>
+ Now in the sitemap, we define the LinkRewriterTransformer, and
+ insert it into any pipelines which deal with user-editable XML
+ content:
+ </p>
+<pre class="code">
+
+....
+<!-- Rewrites links, e.g. transforming
+ href="site:index" to href="../index.html"
+-->
+<map:transformer name="linkrewriter"
+ logger="sitemap.transformer.linkrewriter"
+ src="org.apache.cocoon.transformation.LinkRewriterTransformer">
+ <link-attrs>href src</link-attrs>
+ <schemes>site ext</schemes>
+
+ <input-module name="site">
+ <input-module name="linkmap">
+ <file src="{src}" reloadable="false" />
+ </input-module>
+ <prefix>/site//</prefix>
+ <suffix>/@href</suffix>
+ </input-module>
+ <input-module name="ext">
+ <input-module name="linkmap">
+ <file src="{src}" reloadable="false" />
+ </input-module>
+ <prefix>/site/external-refs//</prefix>
+ <suffix>/@href</suffix>
+ </input-module>
+</map:transformer>
+....
+....
+<map:match pattern="**body-*.html">
+ <map:generate src="cocoon:/{1}{2}.xml"/>
+ <map:transform type="idgen"/>
+ <map:transform type="xinclude"/>
+ <map:transform type="linkrewriter" src="cocoon:/{1}linkmap-{2}.html"/>
+ ...
+</map:match>
+ </pre>
+<p>
+ As you can see, our three input modules are configured as part of
+ the LinkRewriterTransformer's configuration.
+ </p>
+<ul>
+
+<li>
+<p>
+ Most deeply nested, we have:
+ </p>
+
+<pre class="code">
+
+ <input-module name="linkmap">
+ <file src="{src}" reloadable="false" />
+ </input-module>
+ </pre>
+
+<p>
+ The "<span class="codefrag">{src}</span>" text is expanded to the value of the
+ "<span class="codefrag">src</span>" attribute in the "<span class="codefrag">linkrewriter</span>"
+ instance, namely "<span class="codefrag">cocoon:/{1}linkmap-{2}.html</span>" Thus
+ the <span class="codefrag">linkmap</span> module reads dynamically generated XML
+ specific to the current request.
+ </p>
+</li>
+
+<li>
+<p>
+ One level out, we configure the "<span class="codefrag">site</span>" and
+ "<span class="codefrag">ext</span>" input modules, to map onto our dynamically
+ configured "<span class="codefrag">linkmap</span>" module.
+ </p>
+</li>
+
+<li>
+<p>
+ Then at the outermost level, we configure the
+ "<span class="codefrag">linkrewriter</span>" transformer. First we tell it which
+ attributes to consider rewriting:
+ </p>
+
+<pre class="code">
+
+ <link-attrs>href src</link-attrs>
+ <schemes>site ext</schemes>
+ </pre>
+
+<p>
+ So, "<span class="codefrag">href</span>" and "<span class="codefrag">src</span>" attributes
+ starting with "<span class="codefrag">site:</span>" or "<span class="codefrag">ext:</span>" are
+ rewritten.
+ </p>
+
+<p>
+ By nesting the "<span class="codefrag">site</span>" and "<span class="codefrag">ext</span>" input
+ modules in the "<span class="codefrag">linkrewriter</span>" configuration, we
+ tell "<span class="codefrag">linkrewriter</span>" to use these two input modules
+ when rewriting links.
+ </p>
+</li>
+
+</ul>
+<p>
+ The end result is that, for example, the source XML for the
+ <span class="codefrag">community/body-index.html</span> page has its links rewritten
+ by an XMLFileModule reading XML from
+ <span class="codefrag">cocoon:/community/linkmap-index.html</span>
+
+</p>
+<a name="dynamic_linkmap"></a>
+<h4>Dynamically generating a linkmap</h4>
+<p>
+ Why do we need this "linkmap" pipeline generating dynamic XML from
+ <span class="codefrag">site.xml</span>, instead of just using <span class="codefrag">site.xml</span> directly? The reasons are described
+ in <a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=forrest-dev&m=103444028129281&w=2">the linkmap RT</a>: we need to
+ concatenate @hrefs and add dot-dots to the paths, depending on which
+ directory the linkee is in. This is done with the following
+ pipelines in <span class="codefrag">linkmap.xmap</span> ...
+ </p>
+<pre class="code">
+
+<!-- site.xml with @href's appended to be context-relative. -->
+<map:match pattern="abs-linkmap">
+ <map:generate src="content/xdocs/site.xml" />
+ <map:transform src="resources/stylesheets/absolutize-linkmap.xsl" />
+ <map:serialize type="xml" />
+</map:match>
+
+<!-- Linkmap for regular pages -->
+<map:match pattern="**linkmap-*">
+ <map:generate src="cocoon://abs-linkmap" />
+ <map:transform src="resources/stylesheets/relativize-linkmap.xsl">
+ <map:parameter name="path" value="{1}{2}" />
+ <map:parameter name="site-root" value="{conf:project-url}" />
+ </map:transform>
+ <map:serialize type="xml" />
+</map:match>
+
+ </pre>
+<p>
+ You can try these URIs out directly on a live Forrest to see what is
+ going on (for example, Forrest's own
+ <a href="../abs-linkmap">abs-linkmap</a>).

+ Skins are standard zip archives with a *.zip extension. This enables
+ them to be unpacked and installed automatically.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To publish a skin:
+ </p>
+<pre class="code">
+1 - forrest package-skin
+The skin package will be made in the skin dir, next to the custom skin.
+2 - place the file in a directory on a web server
+3 - ask forrest-dev to add the url and the skin name to the list of skins
+</pre>
+<p>
+ To use a custom skin with automatic download:
+ </p>
+<pre class="code">
+1 - set the skin property in forrest.properties to the name of the skin
+2 - forrest install-skin
+3 - forrest
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Currently there are two test skins: "testskin" and "testskin2"
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To see the names of the remote skins:
+ </p>
+<pre class="code">forrest available-skins</pre>
+</div>
+
+<a name="notes"></a>
+<h2 class="underlined_10">Notes</h2>
+<div class="section">
+<p>
+ The skin will get blown away by the next 'build clean' in forrest. But
+ that is okay because it is so quick to go get another copy. Also it may
+ be preferable to get a fresh copy. If the user wanted to keep the skin
+ and perhaps enhance it, then they can copy it to their project.
