public class MountTableMatcher
extends org.apache.cocoon.util.AbstractLogEnabled
implements org.apache.cocoon.matching.Matcher, ThreadSafe, Serviceable, Parameterizable

A matcher that manages a "mount table", allowing to add subsitemaps to a Cocoon application without modifying the main sitemap. This is especially useful for prototypes and demos where installing a separate instance of Cocoon is overkill.

The mount table is an xml file which has a format similar to the map:mount syntax:

   <mount-table>
     <mount uri-prefix="foo" src="file://path/to/foo/directory/"/>
     <mount uri-prefix="bar/baz" src="file://path/to/bar-baz/directory/"/>
   </mount-table>
 
The matcher will scan the mount table for an "uri-prefix" value matching the beginning of the current request URI, and if found, succeed and populate the "src" and "uri-prefix" sitemap variables.

Usage in the sitemap is therefore as follows:

   <map:match type="mount-table" pattern="path/to/mount-table.xml">
     <map:mount uri-prefix="{uri-prefix}" src="{src}"/>
   </map:match>
 

This matcher accepts a single configuration parameter, indicating if missing mount tables should be silently ignored (defaults is false, meaning "don't ignore"):

   <map:matcher type="mount-table" src="org.apache.cocoon.matching.MountTableMatcher">
     <map:parameter name="ignore-missing-tables" value="true"/>
   </map:matcher>
 

This configuration is used in the main sitemap of Cocoon samples, to allow users to define their own mount table, but not fail if it does not exist.
