Value substitution within auth-protect

[Hugh Field-Richards]

Hi

I have a pipeline match fragment -

<map:match pattern="admin-*-*.html">
<map:act type="auth-protect">
<map:parameter name="handler" value="adminHandler"/>
<map:parameter name="application" value="adminApp"/>


<map:generate src="content/admin-{1}-{2}.xml" />
...
</map:act>
</map:match>

which does not perform the value substitution. If I change it
to

<map:match pattern="admin-*-*.html">
<map:generate src="content/admin-{1}-{2}.xml" />
<map:act type="auth-protect">
<map:parameter name="handler" value="adminHandler"/>
<map:parameter name="application" value="adminApp"/>


...
</map:act>
</map:match>

so that the generate is outside the action it seems to work. I have
searched the docs but nothing is obvious there. The only thing I can
think of is that there is a change of context which destroys/ignores
the wildcard values. Is there a way around this? I guess having the
generator outside the authentication is an unnecessary overhead
affecting performance when checking for the first time.

With thanks
