Hi Vasili,

I think you need Xpathdirectory Generator (http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/xpathdirectory-generator.html). I hope this is included in forrest.. Then you just have a root element (elements) and call an xpath expression to include what ever elements you need from xmls in dir.

hope that helps,
Vangelis

What is the right way to create one aggregated xml file from all the
xml files in a directory?
I think I need to use map:aggregate, map:part, and dir:directory in my
sitemap.xml, but I don't quite understand how to put them together. I
don't know how many files will be in the directory, thus I don't know
how many parts the aggregation will have.

Let's say that in my xdocs I have the directory called "the/dir/" in
which there are a number of xml files, and I want to create a file
called "the-list.xml" (in the same direcory) which will contain the
contents of all the xml files in that directory, under a common
element called "elements". After I have this I know how to transform
it using an xsl, and produce the final html file.

Best
