I'm doing exactly this!! Again - I'm new to cocoon so take with a pinch of caution :)
The problem with <aggregate> is that the aggregate mechanism allows the creation of a very complex piece of XML. The xslt must then transform the whole complex set - whenever you change the components that are aggregated you must change the template. I took the approach: <map:match> <map:generate type="..." src="..."/> (I used Velocity here - it just has to output the basic XHTML template with cincludes for the components) (eg: <cinclude:include src="cocoon:/menus/sidebar?area=/aboutus"/>) (you could certainly use #foreach to generate multiple <cinclude> tags dynamically) <map:transform type="cinclude"/> (the cinclude now extends the XHTML template with other cocoon:/... pipelines) <map:serialise/> </map:match> The cincluded components can read/set cookies, read the real http request parameters and any 'private' cinclude parameters (which could be dynamically generated). Notice that the interim pages must be valid XHTML. Later into the development there's a 'private' flag that stops these URLs being seen from external HTTP reqs Hope this helps - I have examples if required.
