global


global should be used for your own variables. A good example is {global:cache-dir} from the default publication's publication-sitemap.xmap

page-envelope


area = "live", "authoring", ...

breadcrumb-prefix = BROKEN. Always empty string.

context-prefix
{page-envelope:context-prefix} = "\" + pubid + "\" + area [ + "\pathToDoc" (if in subdirectory)] May start with "\lenya" when on Tomcat.

default-language = obvious.
document = pub:area:/path/documentID:language = "mypub:live:/doc1/doc2:en". I have no idea how this is useful.

The document-dc-* entries are from the lenya:meta section of the document:
document-dc-creator
document-dc-description
document-dc-date-created
document-dc-publisher
document-dc-rights
document-dc-subject
document-dc-title

document-extension = "html"

document-file = the full absolute path to the XML file. On MSWindows, this starts with the drive letter.

document-id
{page-envelope:document-id} = "\" + [path + "\" + ] document-name

document-label
{page-envelope:document-label} = the "label" from sitetree.xml for the document for the current language, also known as the "Navigation Title" in the CMS GUI.

document-language
{page-envelope:document-language} = languageCode chosen in URL, or default.

document-languages = Useless ("[Ljava.lang.String;@130671e")

document-languages-csv
{page-envelope:document-languages-csv} = comma separated list of all languages in publication. Useful for homepage, but elsewhere {page-envelope:document-languages} is probably better.

document-lastmodified = "2005-06-19 21:19:14"

document-name
document-node-id
Both of these are just the name of the document after the last slash with no language or extension. Very useful for programming Assets, since the link should be "document-name/assetname".

document-path
{page-envelope:document-path} = the path and filename under the current area without a starting slash. Example:
http://solprovider.com/lenya/live/basics/variables.html
http://solprovider.com/lenya/live/basics/variables.xxx
http://solprovider.com/lenya/live/basics/variables
all return:
basics/variables/index_en.xml

document-type = "xhtml", "homepage", ... This is extremely useful for testing.

document-url = the URL after the area "/doc1/doc2_en.html". The language only appears if it is in the calling URL.
document-url-without-language = the whole URL "/pub/live/doc1/doc2.html". The language is removed if it existed.
If you want the entire URL (including language if it exists), use {request:requestURI}.

publication = USELESS "org.apache.lenya.cms.publication.file.FilePublication@2739a1a9"

publication-id = The publication's identifier (directory name). VERY USEFUL.

publication-languages-csv = All languages allowed in the publication "en,de".

ssl-prefix = I have not tested with SSL. Blank for non-SSL.

request


{request:contextPath} = Always empty string on Jetty. "\lenya" on Tomcat.

{request:locale} = languageCode [ + "_" + countryCode]. Browser's language setting. Useful for choosing homepage. Otherwise use {page-envelope:document-language}

{request:queryString} = the full querystring, everything after the question mark. (Lenya does not support the exclamation mark as the querystring separator. It is assumed to be part of the document ID.)

{request:requestURI} - Great for return to the URL, if you are using Jetty:
<map:redirect-to uri="{request:requestURI}" />
When using Tomcat, Lenya is bad about the context. The requestURI is "/lenya/{pub}/...", and the pipeline will not be found. Remove the "/lenya" and it works: (Example assume "ret" contains the requestURI.)
if(ret.substring(0,6) == "/lenya") { ret = ret.substring(6); }
cocoon.sendPage(ret);

{request-param:myParameter} - gets a value from the "myParameter" parameter in the querystring of the request.

access-control


These are useful and obvious. The first 3 are empty if the visitor has not logged in.
user-id
user-name
user-email
ip-address
role-ids (separated by commas: "role1,role2")

These are useless for XMAPs:
user-manager
group-manager
role-manager
iprange-manager
