I think we can use some help from the TreeProcessor authors here.
You're on to something interesting which is beyond my expertise at this point. Thanks for digging deeper on this issue.

My next step was to jdb through the code. I'll scrutinize the SourceResolver that is passed. Something must be screwy there. I haven't looked at SourceResolvers yet, but I'm guessing that it is out of your hands, you just ask for a file handle or a stream back from the SourceResolver. > I am not quite sure what is the layout of the directories in > your case. For example, request of /bill2forms/HowtoWizard.html against <map:match pattern="bill2forms/*.html"> results in {1} = 'HowtoWizard'. The /forms/HowtoWizard/xmlform-sch-report.xml exists and is valid (simply the file of similar name from the example. > A sitemap expert should be able to help with this one. > If I am not mistaken {1} references the first variable in the current > sitemap, > while {../1} references the first variable in the parent sitemap.

The <map:parameter> entities that are passed into the subclass of AbstractXMLFormAction improperly require {1} for the TreeProcessor to work; they should properly work with {../1} like the rest of the action. What I have described so far is a problem in the transitive closure of TreeProcessor, which may or may not include AbstractXMLFormAction. I don't know it yet, so I need to learn it. According to http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/concepts/actions.html, "Communication Between Sitemap and Action", {1} should reference the current map object (the action) and {../1} should reference the previous one (the match). When <map:parameter name="xmlform-validator-schema" value="forms/{../1}/xmlform-sch-report.xml"/>, the TreeProcessor complains with "org.apache.cocoon.sitemap.PatternException: Error while evaluating 'form-{../1}' : not so many levels", when passed {1} for same parameter, getFormValidator complains with the original exception. So there is either a bug in my brain, in the semantics/documentation, or in the code. I'm more inclined to believe that AbstractXMLFormAction is being handed a bad SourceResolver, but I haven't looked at a single line of AbstractXMLFormAction yet. The overall semantics are pretty simple, thereby minimizing that I am just not groking it and pointing to a problem somewhere. But until I can send a patch, the code works by definition, right? :) Gotta get some sleep now. Don't sweat this too much, I just wanted to see if anyone recognized it. I'll work on it soon. -B > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Brian Topping" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 5:46 AM > Subject: Parameterizing Sitemap with XMLForms > > > Hi all, > > So I am trying to parameterize a sitemap that I am using with > forms and > running into an interesting situation.
