What is an Action?
An Action is a sitemap component that manipulates runtime parameters based on request and application state. An Action's result is available in the sitemap as map of name/value pairs. Detailed information on actions may be found in Creating and Using Actions.
Why does Cocoon return an error when I add an action to a pipeline?
The pipeline was working fine before the action was added. After
the change, Cocoon seems unable to find the file specified in the
variable that is returned by the matcher.

<map:match pattern="*">
<map:act type="validate-session">
<map:generate type="serverpages" src="{../1}.xsp"/>
</map:act>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>

Please note in the above example the "../1".
Map objects returned from matchers and actions are organised
hierarchically. Therefore, old map objects are not replaced by new ones,
such as the map objects returned by the validate-session action above.
Because older map objects are still accessible through a path expression, new ones are
accessed differently. Here "../1" references key ( or "variable") "1"
in the next to last Map.

How can I suggest improvements to existing FAQs?
Given the rapid pace of change with Cocoon, many individual FAQs quickly become out-of-date and confusing to new users. If you have the relevant knowledge, please consider updating other FAQs on this page for technical errors. If you see a few typos, please consider fixing them too.
