Well, you have to read Ross reply carefully. ;)
1) how are plugins working [1]
2) look at the source
(forrest_07_branch/plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.OpenOffice.org)
3) see the samples only [2]

regarding 2)
Have a look at
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.OpenOffice.org/src/documentation/content/xdocs/samples
There you will find openOffice (1.0) files. The only documentation is 
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.OpenOffice.org/src/documentation/content/xdocs/index.xml.
Try some threads from [3].

Basic idea for you is 
1) add in your forrest.properties the plugin like
project.required.plugins={allOther},org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.OpenOffice.org
2) add your oo files (based on our examples!) to your project
3) link it and request it

Please see the
forrest_07_branch/plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.OpenOffice.org
how it is done.

Please ask afterwards(!) specific questions. ;)

Well the *easiest* way if you use xsl then set in your sitemap

then you can get any  that you want.

Start by reading the plugin docs [1], then take a look at the source of 
the samples that are included with the plugin [2].

Thank you for the quick and informative replies. I think they can be
summed up as simple redirection is not possible because the query parts
get disassembled. I would need to re-build a new URL if the original has
an unknown list of parameters. The mechanisms work on known parameters.

Thanks.

I think that's a hasty summation;)  Take a look:
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/InputModules

Look for "RequestModule (JXPath)", specifically, the queryString
property.  It'll let you pass it along in full: {request:queryString}


Tim and I seem to be overlapping with our replies on this thread :-), I 
see he has seen a second potential use case that you may be describing.


Without understanding the use case it's hard to know exactly what to 
suggest, If you can't follow what we are suggesting it really would help 
to give a concrete example of what you want to do then we can give 
unambiguous answers. Clearly your generic request to "get hold of the

parameter from "this/that/theother.php?var=42" to feed that to the

I still don't understand your use case since you have not described it. 
It is therefore difficult to give accurate information. However, if you 
have an unknown list of parameters then you probably want the 
RequestGenerator. This will create an XML document from any query data. 
You can then use that in a pipeline and processes it like any other 
document.


I linked to the RequestGenereator in my original reply.

What confuses me is how you intend to make use of an unknown set of 
parameters.
