I think actions should work fine if you put them right before
<map:call function="..."/> in a pipeline. Actions don't generate any
SAX events on the pipeline, so they should not interfere with the
later invocation of the sitemap via sendPage() or
sendPageAndContinue() functions.

Yes, the second approach is how it works, although you don't need to
use parenthesis, and you need to use <map:parameter> instead of
<map:param>. Like this:
<map:match pattern="a pattern">
<map:call function="function">
<map:parameter name="a" value="{1}"/>
</map:call>
</map:match>

This example should work fine.
Just be careful that the name in <map:param> is not really
used. Parameters are just passed to the invoked function based on
their position.
You can also pass parameters to continuations. Just use:
<map:continue with="{1}">
<map:parameter name="a" value="..."/>
</map:continue>
The parameters can be obtained in JavaScript by accessing
cocoon.parameters["a"], after sendPage() returns:
function someFunction()
{
// do some work here
...
sendPage(uri, bizData);
// Obtain the parameter passed from the sitemap
var a = cocoon.parameters["a"];
...
}
The parameters to the function can be accessed in the same way. Just
remember that the value of cocoon.parameters changes each time after a
sendPage().
I'd be curious to know to which extend you're using Schecoon so far,
and how do you find it.
