Hi again guys,
just to continue speaking about "core" transformer APIs, I just
modified the transformer as you suggested, the showcase is:
VariableExpanderTransformer expander = new
VariableExpanderTransformer();
expander.setProperty( "build.base", "/Users/cocoon" );
expander.setProperty( "build.home", "${build.base}/workspace" );
expander.setProperty( "dist.home", "${build.base}/downloads" );
expander.setProperty( "text.property", "Cocoon3 rocks!" );
newNonCachingPipeline().setURLGenerator(
getClass().getResource( "/variables-expander.xml" ) )
.addComponent( expander )
.addSerializer()
.withEmptyConfiguration()
.setup( System.out )
.execute();
Moreover following VariableExpanderTransformer methods are available:
loadAll(Map<String, String>)
loadAll(Properties)
loadEnvironmentVariables() // they are prefixed with 'env.' in the context
loadSystemProperties() // Java system properties
loadProperties(URL)
loadXmlProperties(URL)
Do you think could be useful inside a sitemap processing?
Many thanks in advance, all the best!!!
