I would suggest to have these parameters as a configuration of the
map:pipelines
section, rather than the complete sitemap.
I'm currently thinking of adding a configuration possibility to the
map:pipelines
component anyway, because of the rather ugly configuration of the
authentication
components. They are currently configured in an action but are for the
complete
sitemap.
I thought of somethink like:
<map:pipelines>
<map:pipeline-parameters>
<map:parameter name="skin">forrest-skin</map:parameter>
</map:pipeline-parameters>
<map:component-configurations>
<authentication>
<handlers>
...
</authentication>
</map:component-configurations>
<map:pipeline>
...
</map:pipeline>
</map:pipelines>
