Hi guys,
Just for the newbies among us who have difficulties grasping why their
sitemap is not doing what they expect... like me a couple of days ago
:-)
Here is a way to put a little debug information inside your sitemap:
Below you can find the code for the DebugPipelineAction.java
-----------------------------------------------------*******************
**********************--------------------------------------------------
---*****************************************
package com.ciber.actions;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.apache.avalon.framework.parameters.Parameters;
import org.apache.cocoon.acting.AbstractAction;
import org.apache.cocoon.environment.Redirector;
import org.apache.cocoon.environment.SourceResolver;
/**
* @author robby.pelssers
* This action can be used while developing the sitemap. It will log
which pipelines are
* executed, the pattern which is matched and the actual pattern-value
*/
public class DebugPipelineAction extends AbstractAction {
@Override
public Map act(Redirector redirector, SourceResolver resolver, Map
objectModel, String source,
Parameters params) throws Exception {
Map sitemapParams = new HashMap();
String pipelineId = params.getParameter("id");
String pattern = params.getParameter("pattern");
String patternValue = params.getParameter("pattern-value");
System.out.println("----------------- Start Pipeline Debugging
--------------------------");
System.out.println("Pipeline executed: " + pipelineId);
System.out.println("Matched pattern: " + pattern);
System.out.println("Pattern value: " + patternValue);
System.out.println("----------------- End Pipeline Debugging
--------------------------");
return sitemapParams;
}
}
-----------------------------------------------------*******************
**********************--------------------------------------------------
---*****************************************
Sitemap.xmap:
You will need to add following snippet to your sitemap
<map:components>
<map:actions>
...
<map:action name="debug"
src="com.ciber.actions.DebugPipelineAction"/>
...
</map:actions>
</map:components>
Now suppose you have a pipeline like the one below.
The <map:act type="debug"> needs 3 parameters...
* Id - > id of pipeline
* Pattern -> the pattern which is matched
* Pattern-value -> the actual pattern, but this you will need to
adjust of course (replace each * in the pattern with {number})
<map:pipeline id="static-content">
<map:match pattern="static/page/*/page-*.*">
<map:act type="debug">
<map:parameter name="id" value="static-content"/>
<map:parameter name="pattern" value="static/page/*/page-*.*"/>
<map:parameter name="pattern-value"
value="static/page/{1}/page-{2}.{3}"/>
</map:act>
<map:generate src="myDemo/static/page/{1}/page-{2}.xml"/>
<map:call resource="publish"/>
</map:match>
</map:pipeline>
Now if I do following request
http://localhost:8888/ciberBlock/static/page/general/page-home.xhtml
I will get following output in my console:
----------------- Start Pipeline Debugging --------------------------
Pipeline executed: static-content
Matched pattern: static/page/*/page-*.*
Pattern value: static/page/general/page-home.xhtml
----------------- End Pipeline Debugging ----------------------------
Cheers,
Robby Pelssers
