input modules

[Jeremy Quinn]

Hi All

Is it possible to use a value from a matcher in an input module?
(I asked about this a while ago, there was some interest, but I don't 
remember what was resolved).

I need to take a URL coming into a Sitemap, pass it to an input module 
and use the returned value in the @src of a generator. ie. I am using 
an XML file to 'translate' URLs.

I have a 'linkmap' that maps incoming URL stubs to file locations (and 
describes the structure of a site).

A linkmap looks something like this:

  <map lang="en">
    <ref xl:label="home" xl:href="home.xml" xl:title="blah">
      <name>KISS</name>
      <ref xl:label="work" xl:href="work/home.xml" xl:title="blah">
        <name>Work</name>
        <ref xl:label="schematic" xl:href="work/schematic.xml" 
xl:title="blah">
          <name>Schematic</name>
        </ref>
      </ref>
      <ref xl:label="faq" xl:href="faq/home.xml" xl:title="blah">
        <name>FAQ</name>
        <ref xl:label="faq.strech" xl:href="faq/strech.xml" 
xl:title="blah">
          <name>Dil Add Freeflow</name>
        </ref>
etc.

With a pipeline like this:

<map:match pattern="*">
        <map:generate src="{linkmap:{1}}"> ???????
        etc.
</map:match>
How do you pass the "{1}" into the input module that will look up the 
URL (using XPath) in the LinkMap?

Thanks for any help
