If you mean LinkRewriterTransformer, no, this is different.
In my webapp, the URL is the @xl:label, with the location of the content in the @xl:href. So my sitemap wants to look up the location using the label, to generate the content. My 'locations' are entirely private.
What I believe LRT does is to allow an author to use a label, which is translated into the URL of the actual asset at render time. So the label is private and the location is public. It's the other way around.
If I misunderstood what you meant about Forrest, please put me right ;)

Hi All
Is it possible to use a value from a matcher in an input module? (I asked about this a while ago, there was some interest, but I don't remember what was resolved).
I need to take a URL coming into a Sitemap, pass it to an input module and use the returned value in the @src of a generator. ie. I am using an XML file to 'translate' URLs.
I have a 'linkmap' that maps incoming URL stubs to file locations (and describes the structure of a site).
A linkmap looks something like this:
<map lang="en"> <ref xl:label="home" xl:href="home.xml" xl:title="blah"> <name>KISS</name> <ref xl:label="work" xl:href="work/home.xml" xl:title="blah"> <name>Work</name> <ref xl:label="schematic" xl:href="work/schematic.xml" xl:title="blah"> <name>Schematic</name> </ref> </ref> <ref xl:label="faq" xl:href="faq/home.xml" xl:title="blah"> <name>FAQ</name> <ref xl:label="faq.strech" xl:href="faq/strech.xml" xl:title="blah"> <name>Dil Add Freeflow</name> </ref> etc.
With a pipeline like this:
<map:match pattern="*"> <map:generate src="{linkmap:{1}}"> ??????? etc. </map:match>
How do you pass the "{1}" into the input module that will look up the URL (using XPath) in the LinkMap?
Thanks for any help
regards Jeremy
