could you just transform the list xml to cinclude the others via cocoon pseudo-urls?
... <xsl:template match="/list"> <list xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"> <xsl:apply-templates /> </list> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="/list/file"> <cinclude:include /> <xsl:attribute name="src"/> <xsl:text>cocoon:/</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:template> Something like that? I didn't test the attribute setting there - you may need to do something trickier like set a variable and then use concat(). With care you may be able to do this in a portable way though not with the document function. The problem I see with asking the file generator to check dependencies is the overhead of parsing the entire document on every request.

Using Cocoon 2.0.2 Tomcat 4.0.4b JBoss 2.4.4 JRE 1.4.0 I have a straight forward sub-site that invokes a simple 1 stage XML to HTML pipeline. The main xml target of the pipeline is just a list of the real xml files that are to be processed, eg: <list> <file>file-a.xml</file> <file>file-b.xml</file> <file>file-c.xml</file> </list> The style sheet uses the XSLT document() function to process these files. The problem is that usually only the referenced files are updated, the main xml and xsl are mostly static. As a result Cocoon never sees the changes and never clears the cache. Is there a simple way to tell Cocoon to check the referenced files? I realize I could restructure this to have a Cocoon pipeline aggregate the files and process them. However, that approach has two problems: 1) the current method is portable to any XSLT engine; 2) the XML file that determines the included files is visible to the users for when an occasional update is required. I don't want to expose the sitemap to the users due to security/integrity and training issues.
