I want to start the implementation of the virtual sitemap components in the next weeks; but before, we should discuss how they will look like :)
The first point - and imho most important point is, of which components
a virtual sitemap component (VSC) can be assembled.
My understand is that a VSC is either:
- a generator followed by one or more transformers
- a set of transformers
- a set of transformers followed by a serializer
Thus, the VSC acts like a generator, a transformer or a serializer.
Exactly.
There were some mentions in the past, that a VSC can contain any sitemap component, so even actions, matchers and selectors are allowed in the definition of the VSC.
So, first question is: do we want this?
(I would say: no)
I would say yes! Forbidding control structures in virtual components would greatly reduce their usefulness.
