Have you tried the session transformer? I think it might be able to do what you
want...
Here's a sample:
sitemap stuff:
<!-- General pattern for most everything else -->
<map:match pattern="*">
<map:generate src="content/xml/{1}.xml"/>
<!-- session transformer to do variable substitution -->
<map:transform type="session"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
xml source stuff:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html xmlns:session="http://apache.org/cocoon/session/1.0";>
<head><title>Page Title</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Test data from "authentication" context:
<!-- tag that the session transformer will resolve into data -->
<session:getxml context="authentication" path="*/data/rlname"/>
</h1>
</body>
</html>
In this case the information is in the "authentication" context which I filled in when
teh user logged on. I'm pretty sure you can specify the "rqeuest" context. The path
is just an xpath expression for the variable you want to substitute. You might need
to write an intemediary XSLT to convert your placeholders into the <session:getxml>
tags, depending on what your needs are.
Hope this helps,
Chris
