Thorsten Scherler commented on FOR-800:
---------------------------------------

Hmm, I do not understand.

I am looking for all aviable properties. I read something about 
default.forrest.properties.xml, ... but which can I request ( I do not know 
with which I need to substitute the *)

To pass all this props in the sitemap is not efficient, that is the biggest 
problem of input modules in general (you cannot use them directly in xsl). 

We can not decide which properties a contract will need and further it is not 
easy to extend because you need to touch the sitemap. A contract should be able 
to request any given prop from *.properties.xml.

Please see the master.ft:
...
<!-- If you need default variables: -->
      <!--<xsl:param name="defaultVariables" select="'test.html'"/>-->
      <!-- then extract the variable like: -->
      <!--<xsl:variable name="skin-img-dir" select="$defaultVariables/*/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]'skin-img-dir']/@value"/>-->
      <!-- more information which variables are aviable can be found at 
lm://transform.xml.variable.helper 
        
          FIXME: This property xsl is in early stage and aims to be connected 
to the new established input module based one.
          We need to write a custom generator for this. The generator will 
contact the prop-input module to get all aviable key/values and
          outputs them to xml (dtd like forrest.properties.xml). -->
