Hi group,
I want to be able to access Tomcat's Environment Entries in the Cocoon sitemap the same way I access my jdbc connection.
For instance, I want to be able to add via the Tomcat administrator:
Name: ldapServerUrl
Type: java.lang.String
Value: ldap://some.server.ineed
And then in the sitemap.xmap, say in an ldap transformation, be able to have something like:
<map:parameter name="serverurl" value="jndi://ldapServerUrl"/>
or
<map:parameter name="serverurl" value="java:comp/env/ldapServerUrl"/>
to reference what's in the environment entries. I am currently setting this value, and others, using the <global-variables> section in the sitemap, so I wind up with:
<map:parameter name="serverurl" value="{global:ldapServer}"/>
but I need to have some of these variables in a spot that my server administrator can change their values without touching the application files.
I have looked through the docs on cocoon.apache.org and wiki.cocoondev.org, but couldn't find anything other than setting up the jdbc connections.
Thanks!
David Day
