One posible solution is using XInclude. We use it to set some particular
variables for our applications. Note we use some generic xslt to make
rendering. I think this could help you too. Sample:
Description: We have some variables names for every application that have
his own values: application name, author, copyright notice, etc.
The solution using XInclude is very easy, just 3 steps:
Here is the basic XML that store this particular data for each application
(sorry the tags are in spanish, but I hope you can get the idea from):
1- Write a file with tags that will contain all the particular data for
each application:
********************** appdata.xml ******************************
<aplicacion>
<nombre>My app name</nombre>
<titulo>The title of the App</titulo>
<elaborado>Who made the App</elaborado>
<html>
<meta name="author" content="An author notice"/>
<meta name="copyright" content="The copyright notice"/>
<meta name="date" content="Start date"/>
</html>
<documentacion>Who made the documentation</documentacion>
......
</aplicacion>
*****************************************************************
2-Then in a xslt we use XInclude:
************************** render2html.xslt *********************
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";>
<xsl:template match="document">
<html lang="es-NI">
<head>
<xi:include
href="context:///resources/datosapp.xml#xpointer(/aplicacion/html/node())"/>
*****************************************************************
3-In the sitemap.xmap you will use the xinclude transformer after the
stylesheet that render the page. In this case render2html.xslt:
....
<map:transform src="stylesheets/render2html.xslt"/>
<map:transform type="xinclude"/>
....
*****************************************************************

I hope this help.
