Hi all,
I have another use-case for this kind of substitution. I'm protecting
multiple resources in my sitemap, and each resource has its own
sub-sitemap. The authentication resource produces a list of resources the
user is allowed to access. Like this:
<data>
<resource1>true</resource2>
<resource2>true</resource2>
...
</data>
These are all returned with the cocoon auth-action to the sitemap, and are
accessible with their nodenames. And here's the sitemap snippet I'd like
to use:
<map:match pattern="protected/*">
<map:act type="auth-protect">
<map:parameter name="handler" value="test_handler"/>
<map:match pattern="*">
<map:select type="parameter">
<map:parameter name="parameter-selector-test" value="{../{1}}"/>
<map:when test="true">
<map:mount src="{../1}/" uri-prefix="{../1}"/>
</map:when>
<map:otherwise>
<map:redirect-to uri="access_denied"/>
</map:otherwise>
</map:select>
</map:match>
</map:act>
</map:match>
So, the protected resource would be accessed with for example:
"protected/resource1". The {../{1}} in "parameter-selector-test" would
first substitute to {../resource1}, which would then become "true".
The parameter selector would now let the user pass, and the execution
would continue in the mounted sub-sitemap.
At the moment, with this functionality missing, I have to write the
snippet above for each protected resource, with only one difference in
them. Not very easy to maintain...
I hope we get this kind of parameter substition soon, it would be very
usefull, especially with the input modules combined! (And, as Konstantin
said, a quite natural desire.)
