Ok, I found what I was looking for. I can override the properties in the
contents block, and they will be available to the navigation block. The
problem now is, I need (for testing and dev) the absolute path to the
current cocoon block context (ie, the absolute location of the sitemap).
I tried using different protocols but none worked for me. I tried (in my
properties file) :
site.root.directory=context:/
but it returns the absolute path of the webapp directory and not COB-INF.
Other protocols like cocoon:/ and cocoon:// gave exceptions :
java.lang.StackOverflowError
at org.apache.regexp.RE.matchNodes(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.regexp.RE.matchNodes(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.regexp.RE.matchNodes(Unknown Source)
...
Is there a way when developing with maven, to obtain the absolute path
of the current block context, so that I can share it with other blocks ?
I know this can be taken care later on when putting everything in a war,
and use either context:/ or file:// but as a default value I need to set
this up this way.
Any idea ?

Hello all:
I have this senario where I need to override properties in more than one
of the blocks when they are used from a top level one. For example, I
need the site navigation block to construct a navigation from one
directory. In another block, the contents will be server from the same
directory. In the site navigation block I have this:
<map:generate type="directory" src="${site.contents.directory}">
<map:parameter name="depth" value="3"/>
</map:generate>
Then in define this value in the cocoon.properties for the
contents-block using the relative path:
site.contents.directory=contents
Now, the problem is, this directory doesn't exist in the navigation
block. I considered using one of the InputModules varaibles that refers
to the deployment path (not sure which one yet), but again this won't
help as I want to be able to change this variable to an absolute path on
the filesystem.
I am using aggregation to combine results from multiple blocks.
Is there's a clean way to achieve this?
Thank you.
