[FLOW] How to access flow parms in the site map?

[Yatin Shah]

How does one access the flowscript objects from a site map?

I like to use a selector along with flowscript object to construct site 
map pipeline flow.

For example, in the following pipeline I like to replace the 
request-parameter selector
with a selector utilizing a flowscript object for parameter!
Are there any other solutions?

 <map:pipeline internal-only="true">

    <map:match pattern="XMLcollector" >
       <map:generate type="jx" src="cocoon:/custom-jxt/XMLcollector.jxt"/>
       <!-- Currently the request parameter VER=POP|PRT|PDF|XML
              request-parameter selector allows to select appropriate 
transformers.
              Is it possible to use a flow object instead of a request 
parameter ?
          -->
       <map:select type="request-parameter">
          <map:parameter name="parameter-name" value="VER"/>

          <map:when test="POP" >
             <map:transform src="cocoon:/custom-xsl/popup_xml2html.xsl">
                <map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" 
value="true"/>
             <map:parameter name="queryString" 
value="{request:queryString}"/>
             <map:parameter name="requestURI" 
value="{request:requestURI}"/>
             </map:transform>
             <map:serialize/>
          </map:when>

          <map:when test="PRT" >
             <map:transform src="cocoon:/custom-xsl/printer_xml2html.xsl">
            <map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/>
            <map:parameter name="queryString" 
value="{request:queryString}"/>
            <map:parameter name="requestURI" 
value="{request:requestURI}"/>
             </map:transform>
             <map:serialize/>
          </map:when>

          <map:when test="PDF" >
              <map:transform src="cocoon:/custom-xsl/xml2fo.xsl">
            <map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/>
            <map:parameter name="queryString" 
value="{request:queryString}"/>
            <map:parameter name="requestURI" 
value="{request:requestURI}"/>
             </map:transform>
             <map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/>
          </map:when>

          <map:when test="XML" >
            <!-- Views can be used for pure xml streaming -->
             <map:serialize type="xml"/>
          </map:when>
          <map:otherwise>
             <!-- map:when test="normal" -->
             <map:transform src="cocoon:/custom-xsl/normal_xml2html.xsl">
            <map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/>
            <map:parameter name="queryString" 
value="{request:queryString}"/>
            <map:parameter name="requestURI" 
value="{request:requestURI}"/>
            <map:parameter name="serverName" 
value="{request:serverName}"/>
             </map:transform>
             <map:serialize/>
          </map:otherwise>
       </map:select>

    </map:match>
