I want to call a RSS feed. Is it possible for the style sheet to use the XML document it is styling and the XML RSS feed.

How would I set up my sitemap to do this? And how would I call the two different XML files in my style sheet?

I understand (please try to formulate your exact question better in the future) that you want to use an RSS feed as a source. Your sitemap should consider something like this:


<map:match pattern="myfeed.html">
  <map:generate src="http://host/myfeed.rss"/>
  <map:transform src="mystylesheet.xsl"/>
  <map:serialize/>
</map:match>

when accessing this pipeline using http://host/cocoon/myfeed.html, Cocoon will read the RSS feed and apply the mystylesheet.xsl onto it, producing HTML (if that's what the stylesheet has been designed for).

I've recently written a (hopefully) layman's intro into Cocoon as a paper for a conference, maybe some of it makes sense to you: http://www.idealliance.org/europe/03/call/xmlpapers/02-01-05.14/.02-01-05.html

In case you want to really use the content of the RSS feed _inside_ your XSLT stylesheet (as a variable perhaps), you should use the XSLT document() function, for which you also can specify an URL as a source. But all in all, since you have choosen for Cocoon, you might as well use Cocoon aggregation or the various IncludeTransformers instead.

Hope this helps,
