I'd like to modify XMLDBSource to allow the URI to override the

Any objections?
Nope. Go ahead.

My first thought is to allow URIs of the form:
xmldb:exist://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/coll/coll/resource.xml
I take it there is no such definition of providing user/pass within
the XMLDB spec?
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.
