Looking at how everything uses the avalon framework it appears that the initialize, configure and setup methods are called on every component of a pipeline before any processing occurs. Whether that includes components of subpipelines I don't know, but in the case of Olivier Billard and his sitemap snippets the problem he was running into was the xsl sheet wasn't available when the components tried to initialize, configure and setup.
<map:match pattern="picto-filter.xsl"> <map:generate src="context://WEB-INF/workflow.xconf"/> <map:transform src="stylesheets/picto-filter-generator.xsl"/> <map:serialize type="xml"/> </map:match> ... <map:match pattern="requestlist-part"> ... <map:transform src="cocoon:/picto-filter.xsl"/> <map:serialize type="xml"/> </map:match> Now, I think for him your solution would work. The reason Olivier's stuff doesn't work is that the xml from the pipeline for picto-filter.xsl isn't available when the <map:transform src="cocoon:/picto-filter.xsl"/> initializes. -----Original Message----- From: Upayavira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 9:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Howto use a generated stylesheet On 1 Jul 2003 at 9:19, Orson Davis wrote: > The stylesheet must be available before the pipeline is setup.

Hmm. Seems rather complicated. Doesn't the stuff on this wiki page work for you: http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=MetaStylesheets What you say may be correct, but the xsl for the TraxTransformer can be initialized from another pipeline before the main pipeline is fully set up. Surely? (Sorry about last message - accidentally sent message before I'd finished writing it!)
