NPE in redirect-to

           Summary: NPE in redirect-to
           Product: Cocoon 2
           Version: 2.1.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: sitemap components
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


this simple pipeline causes an NPE:

<map:match pattern="xsl/test">
  <map:generate src="cocoon:/test"/>
  <map:serialize/>
</map:match>

<map:match pattern="test">
   <map:redirect-to uri="foo"/>
</map:match>


before saying "you can't redirect after a generator is called", consider:
calling another pipeline with the cocoon: protocol is the only way to have one 
main pipeline (which does authentication, i18n, etc) which calls out to 
subsitemaps for page-specific behavior*.  each page may decide to redirect 
before any "real" generator is called (aka no sax events yet).  this is an 
important organizational technique for any large site.
so if not a bug, please consider it an important feature.  i'm going to try a 
workaround which uses xhtml and xslt to create an html response which has a 
meta-refresh tag. *ack*  the problem with this approach is that the main 
pipeline still gets executed and our banner html is applied along with i18n, 
etc, just to redirect  :(


* resources don't work in this case because our subsitemap needs to invoke 
pipeline fragments in the root sitemap.  root-level resources aren't visible 
from a subsitemap, so we must use the cocoon: protocol everywhere.
