<note> I resend again this post, since I dont got it in my mailbox. It seems like the 2 virus in the wild (Sobig.f and MSBlast) are causing major troubles in the Internet...
Please stop using the major virus called Windows ;-D </note> > So, after making a request for this a few days ago, with some people's help (a suggestion to look into mounted sitemaps) there seems to be an already existing solution. Rather than adding extra functionality to support doing this in cocoon.xconf, wouldn't it make more sense to just ship an extra sitemap with the default distribution? It could exist in WEB-INF as like base.xmap or something and be referenced in cocoon.xconf as the main sitemap. :) +1 I think it could be called "components.xconf" since it is all about. I think it could not be a big change if we separate the current sitemap.xmap in: WEB-INF/components.xconf -> <map:components> part of current sitemap.xmap sitemap.xmap -> just <map:pipelines> To dont make the change to "traumatic" to the overall code, initially we can specialize a class of the current sitemap processor that just will merge this to files in in once and give the control back to the "current sitemap processor". What do you think? Note: merging <map:components> and cocoon.xconf will be worse. Newbies tend to keep away from cocooon.xconf because they simple does not understand it (I said that based in my own experience). Best Regards, Antonio Gallardo
