Is it possible to use the XMLModule in such a way that values from the
XML conf file can be overridden by request parameters?

Yes, that was the intention for creating the ChainMetaModule. See how it is
configured in cocoon.xconf and add a similar configuration for your case.

Something like this in cocoon.xconf? :

<component-instance
class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.XMLFileModule" logger="core.modules.xml" name="myxml">
<file src="context://my-conf.xml"/>
</component-instance>

<component-instance
class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.ChainMetaModule" logger="core.modules.input" name="chain">
<input-module name="request-param"/>
<input-module name="myxml"/>
</component-instance>


Then how do you access the variables in the sitemap?
Like this?:

{chain:/*/my-var} if I want it overridden by request params

and

{myxml:/*/myvar} if I do not want an override?

Thanks for your help.

regards Jeremy
