I'd like to modify XMLDBSource to allow the URI to override the credential information. This would allow different users to access collections/resources as themselves in eXist (http://exist.sf.net).I take it there is no such definition of providing user/pass within the XMLDB spec?
Any objections? My first thought is to allow URIs of the form:
xmldb:exist://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/coll/coll/resource.xml
Regards, Upayavira
Authentication is handled by username and password parameters to methods on the org.xmldb.api.base.Database interface. The XMLDB spec is silent about handling userinfo in the URI itself. The org.cocoon...XMLDBSource gets around this by configuring authentication information into the <driver> element, and then passing that through to the relevant interface methods when necessary (see Bugzilla for a recent patch of that behaviour). However, that is static: only one username and password can be configured per protocol scheme (i.e.; xmldb:).
What I'm proposing is effectively allowing just-in-time specification of username and password in <map:generate src="" /> elements.
