Hi Gianugo,

thanks for explaining, one more question: see below

Well... one thing I liked about the generator was that you could pass a lot of stuff 
as parameters. Although in the original xmldb-generator only the xpath parameter was 
used, but my custom generator also used depth parameter, and because x-hive offers so 
much more options for querying in their api, I can imagine I would need a lot of 
parameters.
The way this is solved in the xmldb-source, by putting a # behind the url, would IMHO 
become less elegant as more parameters are added.
So I wonder what other mechanisms could be used for calling parameters on a source, if 
I'm using different parameters in each map:mathch
