It can not. Think different: Use XSLT to check for result, convert to appropriate CInclude, which will point to pipeline with form validation/generation. If result is not there, same XSLT can generate html with refresh to different pipeline. > I can no way use map:redirect-to since I have a bunch of request parameters > I need for input form generation, and these parameters are variable in > number...
