If you want to use aggregation, then do something like:
<map:match pattern="whatever.html">
<map:aggregate element="MyRootElement" prefix="MyPrefix"
ns="myprefixnamespace">
<map:part src="Internal/foo1"/>
<map:part src="Internal/foo2"/>
<map:part src="Internal/foo3"/>
</map:aggregate>
<map:transform ...../>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
this aggregation alone (without tranforming) results in:
<MyPrefix:MyRootElement xmlns:MyPrefix="myprefixnamespace">
<part1/>
<part2/>
<part3/>
</MyPrefix:MyRootElement>
Prefix and ns isn't required.
You may want to embed each part in an element, use map:part src=".."
element="myelement"/>.
If you want to exclude the rootelement in the parts, use strip-root="true".
I'm assuming you have an internal pipeline that matches the "Internal/foo1"
and others to provide an xml piece to the aggregator:
<map:match pattern="Internal/foo*">
<map:generate src="part{1}.xml"/>
<map:transform src="{1}.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
You may have better results/more flexibility by using a page with
inclusions. Use XInclude or CInlude tags in a page so that it includes all
three parts and tranform that page:
<map:generate src="inclusion.xml"/>
<map:transform type="cinclude" /> or xinclude
<map:serialize/>
in the page inclusion.xml:
<mypage ...>
...
<cinclude:include src="foo1"/>
...
</mypage>
(don't forget namespaces for cinclude or xinclude)
Kind Regards,
Jan
