The block A which depends on block B will have access to:
* Sitemap components of block A
Given the above, what is the point of 'sitemap-additions'?
Components are included in the cocoon.xconf and sitemap components in
the component section in the main sitemap.xmap.
'main sitemap'? Sitemap components - see above - are included in the block's
sitemap.xmap, not in the main one - not in the Cocoon's root sitemap. May be you
meant "block's main sitemap"...
Is there a point of
doing it this way? I don't know, if the sitemap components still must be
declared within a sitemap there might be, otherwise not.
Strictly speaking, there is no must here... We could easily merge block's xconf
and xmap into single file.
For real blocks the block.xml points to webapp/sitemap.xmap and
COB-INF/xconf/myblock.xconf, and sitemap.xmap in turn includes
COB-INF/sitemap-additions/myblock.xconf, and no copying anymore.
Or, you simply mean, block's sitemap.xmap will import
/COB-INF/sitemap-additions/* into itself?
Yes.
If that is so, then again, what is the point in doing it? :)
See above.
Above does not explain the need :-)
Currently with huge root sitemap we have a need; but given block's sitemap will
have few sitemap components to declare - why separate them into yet another file?
So, if "sitemap components" doesn't need to be defined within a sitemap
anymore,
Actually, it's not required.
I agree with you that we should skip the sitemap additions and
put everything in the blocks xconf.
I suggest the revers: put everything from block's xconf into its xmap :-)
Then all blocks both such that has a
sitemap and such that only exports components would have a root
component manager with all components from the blocks xconf in it.
... from the sitemap.xmap in it :-)
For
blocks that also have a sitemap the root component manager would be
pararent component manager for the sitemap.
If sitemap components really need to be part of a sitemap it is a
question what it would mean to export such a component from a block.
Thoughts?
At the end, either way will do.
