I'm a bit late replying to this, but this sounds like something we do all the time with almost all our projects, and we have a pretty simple solution for it which I don't think I've seen here yet. (My apologies if someone else has already posted this.)

Unlike its name suggests, the XMLFileModule doesn't have to read a real file. It can also read the result of a pipeline. And that pipeline can still ask for the request parameters. Example: In a pipeline in the sitemap: <map:generate src="{file:/foo/bar}/file.xml"/> Configuration of the input module: <component-instance class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.XMLFileModule" name="file"> <file src="cocoon://somepipeline.xml"/> </component-instance> Sitemap again: <map:match pattern="somepipeline.xml"> <map:generate src="data/{request-param:filename}.xml"/> <map:serialize/> </map:match> So this takes an XML file whose name depends on a request parameter, uses the XMLFileModule to find a certain value from that file, and then uses the result as filename to get the file you really want. What we do is actually a bit more complicated than this, but this should work, as far as I know. mcv. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
