Hi Cocooners,
I'm just wondering, whether an option for an alternate error processing
in aggregation would be useful.
I'm typically using a sitemap setup like the following. The sidebar.xml file
contains navigational information.
<map:match pattern="**/*">
<map:aggregate element="page">
<map:part src="{1}/{2}.xml"/>
<map:part element="sidebar" src="{1}/sidebar.xml"/>
</map:aggregate>
....
Some CVS heads ago, I would receive an exception on the browser, when
sidebar.xml was not available. Now the exception only shows up in the log files.
However there is a noticable delay for the exception handling.
I'm wondering now, if a selectable attribute to "map:part" would usefull, which
would specify, that map:part should immediately return with an error element
when the src is not available. Staying with the above example something like:
<sidebar>
<error>file xxxx/sidebar.xml not found.</error>
</sidebar>
For me personally I would find this behaviour in connection with the
DirectoryGenerator usefull (file name <=> document title mapping).
Am I making sense?
I've poked into the sources, unfortunatly I'm not in the position to supply a
simple patch (would setup() and/or generate() in
sitemap/ContentAggregator.java be the right location?). Or are there other
means to achieve the desired behaviour. I think the documentation
doesn't mention anything.
