It depends on the size and number of files. I think a DOM is built for each file, and Cocoon quickly runs out of memory then.

For a small number of files, where the filesize is low, the XPathDirectoryGenerator works very well. For other cases, the alternative approach from Derek is much better.

the  DirectoryGenerator / CInclude approach might be more
flexible.  Your choice!

Thanks, it seems to fit to my needs.

I have a directory which contains many XML files which contain each one

src="/my_directory/"/> which would only returns a file listing. What I need
is the whole content of the files, not only some pieces of information,
just
as if I did something like what follows but without specifying any of the
filenames which may evolve from time to time, depending on submissions...
<map:aggregate element="my_element">
<map:part src="/my_directory/file1.xml"/>
<map:part src="/my_directory/file2.xml"/>
...
<map:part src="/my_directory/fileN.xml"/>
</map:aggregate>



Seems like the XPathDirectoryGenerator is the thing for you:

Another solution would be to use a combination of the DirectoryGenerator and CInclude, but based on your usecase the XPathDirectoryGenerator seems right.
