This is probably a pretty basic question but I am having a had time figuring out how to create a sitemap entry that handles the following situation.

I want to send cocoon a URI that looks like this:

http://server:8080/cocoon/app?color=red (or)

http://server:8080/cocoom/app?color=blue

I have a server that generates XML based upon a generator request that looks like this:

http://server/xml_generator?color=red (or)

http://server/xml_generator?color=blue

My xml_generator is a service that provides different XML output based upon the value of the "color" variable.

My question is "How do I write the sitemap entry when I want to pass variables in the URI"?

A sitemap entry that works but is undesirable is this:

<map:match pattern="/appred">
  <map:generate src="http://server/xml_generator?color=red/>
  <map:transform src="document2html.xsl"/>
  <map:serialize/>
</map:match>

I want to write a sitemap entry that looks like this but it does not work. I want to be able to have a variable in the URI be passed to the generator.

<map:match pattern="/app*">
  <map:generate src="http://server/xml_generator{1}/>  <map:transform src="document2html.xsl"/>
  <map:serialize/>
</map:match>

So if I sent cocoon a URI like this; http://server/app?color=red, I would expect the generator to send a request that looks like this; http://server/xml_generator?color=red.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can write the sitemap entry to allow for variables?

Thanks,

-tom
