problem with the sitemap and patterns

[Mirco Pallotta - Sebi]

Is there a way to specify a GENERAL pattern? I know, the wildcards exists for this reason, but if I write in my sitemap: <map:match pattern="mysite/*"> and the user write something like: http://localhost:8080/cocoon/mysite/dir1/dir2/file1.html then my pattern doesn't match Furthermore, if the user writes: http://localhost:8080/cocoon/mysite/dir1/ my pattern doesn't match again I'd like to know if there's a way to match everything that begins with "mysite". Thanks in advance
