I have a folder location that is specified in a database. I need to run a query on the database and generate XML (using an XSP) , as well, I need to get this folder location and use it to determine the location of some XSLTs that is later used to transform the generated XML. Seeing as I am querying the database for XML, I don't want a situation where I am querying twice.

Something like this:

      <map:match pattern="test-xsp-action">
        <map:act type="xsp-action" src="my-xsp-action.xsp">
          <map:generate type="file" src="test2.xml"/>
          <map:transform src="{my-xsp-action-variable}/myxslt.xslt"/>
        </map:act>

        <map:serialize type="xml"/>
      </map:match>

However, I also have the added requirement that I need to support aggregation, which isn't working in this scenario (that is my-xsp-action-variable isn't available outside of the associated match). I want to be able to setup a parameter that is available from any match/pipeline. In a similar way that flow attributes seem to be.

Now the picture is clearer. The above is one of the pipelines that should be aggregated. The second map:part should also be configured dynamically from the database ({testXML} in your other mail).

Unfortunately I don't think this is possible. While flow sets something like a global context, the action context is local to the map:act. Even writing it the following way does not help you:

<map:act type="xsp-action" src="my-xsp-action.xsp">
  <map:match pattern="test-xsp-action2">
    <map:aggregate element="test1">
      <map:part src="cocoon:/test-xsp-action"/>
      <map:part src="{testXML}"/>
    </map:aggregate>
    <map:serialize type="xml"/>
  </map:match>

  <map:match pattern="test-xsp-action">
    <map:generate type="file" src="test2.xml"/>
    <map:transform src="{my-xsp-action-variable}/myxslt.xslt"/>
    <map:serialize type="xml"/>
  </map:match>
</map:act>

This works - but the action is executed twice though since there are two requests that are processed: test-xsp-action2 and cocoon:/test-xsp-action and both run through this pipeline.
