Thank you, Geert. It works. I created an entry in WEB-INF/cocoon.xconf:
<component-instance
class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.XMLFileModule"
logger="core.modules.input"
name="pprotoconf">
<file src="context://pproto/conf.xml"/>
</component-instance>
and a file called 'conf.xml' in the tomcat5/webapps/cocoon/pproto directory
(URLs and names of services changed for this example):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<conf>
<service1>http://host.domain.org:port/path/service1</service1>
<service2>http://anotherhost.anotherdomain.org/path/service2</service2>
</conf>
In the sitemap I could then use references like:
<map:parameter name="srv1" value="{pprotoconf:/conf/service1}"/>
where 'pprotoconf' in '{pprotoconf:/conf/service1}' references the the name
attribute of the component-instance and '/conf/service1' is an XPath
expression.
