Please look into matchers which cocoon provides. One which will work for
exactly the situation you are describing is RequestParameterMatcher. If
you define it with name 'request-parameter' then pipeline will look
like:
<map:match pattern="/app">
<map:match type="request-parameter" pattern="color">
<map:generate src=http://server/xml_generator?color={1}/>
<map:transform src="document2html.xsl"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
</map:match>

Subject: sitemap construction help
This is probably a pretty basic question but I am having a had time
figuring out how to create a sitemap entry that handles the following
situation.
I want to send cocoon a URI that looks like this:
http://server:8080/cocoon/app?color=red (or)
http://server:8080/cocoom/app?color=blue
I have a server that generates XML based upon a generator request that
looks like this:
http://server/xml_generator?color=red (or)
http://server/xml_generator?color=blue
My xml_generator is a service that provides different XML output based
upon the value of the "color" variable.
My question is "How do I write the sitemap entry when I want to pass
variables in the URI"?
A sitemap entry that works but is undesirable is this:
<map:match pattern="/appred">
<map:generate src=http://server/xml_generator?color=red/>
<map:transform src="document2html.xsl"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
I want to write a sitemap entry that looks like this but it does not
work. I want to be able to have a variable in the URI be passed to the
generator.
<map:match pattern="/app*">
<map:generate src=http://server/xml_generator{1}/>
<map:transform src="document2html.xsl"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
So if I sent cocoon a URI like this; http://server/app?color=red, I
would expect the generator to send a request that looks like this;
http://server/xml_generator?color=red.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can write the sitemap entry to allow
for variables?
Thanks,
-tom
