I don't think I phrased my question correctly. Here goes version 2.0: I've got a page whose url is something like, http://server/app/edit/73 where the "73" is the ID of the document (timesheets, in this case) that's stored in the database. Each timesheet has different start and end dates. Thus, the XForms model needed to edit a timesheet must be generated dynamically (i.e. a matrix with projects on one axis and days on the other axis). Right now, the XForms pipeline parses the URL using the request generator. However, I thought that using the RegExp matcher in the controller was a much more elegant and powerful solution (XSLT's string parsing is awful). Is there a way it can be used for XForms generation rather than just for the model?
