My first attempt was to use lenya.properties.xml. Since this works only globally and on a module level, I have to create a module to smuggle the file into our publication. It works, but it feels like using a big tool for a small task and I would need a new module for every publication that needs its own lenya.properties.xml. I think it would be a nice feature to have a lenya.properties.xml on a publication level (just drop it into $PUB_HOME).

+1. neat idea. thorsten, iirc you came up with that feature in the first place, right? how difficult could this be?

My Java knowledge is very limited, but I feel that tweaking modules-core/properties/.../PropertiesModule.java would do.

As a second attempt (and to avoid an extra module) I am also thinking about using global sitemap variables (<global-variables>), which are, as I understand it, a (almost undocumented) cocoon feature.

i don't think that's a good idea. sitemaps are about control and data flow. i wouldn't put data itself in there.

I wouldnt call it data, it's configuration parameters. I think I would use the feature as it was intended (also given by the example of sonfiguring a directory name). But yes, I agree with you, that's why it's my second attempt, just to avoid the module...

- global-sitemap.xmap is not fallback enabled (that's ok because I wouldn't
  like to override it anyway)

you should not :)

I know, that's why the gods made it impossible... It only shows my impression that the concept of the global sitemap variables could be incomplete.

fallback-overriding that one is roughly equivalent to using another CMS altogether :)

Good to know in case of emergency ;-)

Thanks!
