Andrew,
that depends on what you mean with dynamic. You could create an
configuration file in XML format and load it with an XMLFileModule? That
way you can change it if you want. I also noticed there is a
PropertiesFileModule. Maybe that could be the answer to your question?
Regards,
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,
many thanks for your help.
What I was actually wondering was whether there was a way to dynamically
obtain the smtp address of the ISP without having to physically hard
code it as a parameter in either the cocoon.xconf or sitemap documents?

Hi Andrew,
there are several ways of doing this.
A. using global variables in the sitemap
B. setting the value in your session with for instance the setteraction.
C. Using the defaults module in the cocoon.xconf
I think there is enough information on the setter action in the archives
[1], so i'll try to explain the other methods. (A and C)
A. defining the value in the sitemap
<map:pipelines>
<map:component-configurations>
<global-variables>
<smtphost>localhost</smtphost>
</global-variables>
</map:component-configurations>
</map:pipelines>
and passing the value as a sitemap parameter to your flowscript
function.
<map:match pattern="function">
<map:call function="test">
<map:parameter name="smtp" value="{global:smtphost}"/>
</map:call>
</map:match>
and in your flowscript:
var smtphost = cocoon.parameters["smtp"];
C. could specify it as a variable in the DefaultsModule (cocoon.xconf)
<component-instance
class="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.DefaultsModule"
logger="core.modules.input " name="myconstants">
<values>
<smtphost>localhost</smtphost>
</values>
</component-instance>
Then in your flowscript you can request the value with:
var myConstants = cocoon.getComponent(InputModule.ROLE +
"Selector").select("myconstants");
var myObject = myConstants.getAttribute("smtphost",null,null);
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Jeroen Reijn
