[Exist-open] Passing parameters from sitemap to xquery

[Richard L. <ric...@fa...>]

How do I pass a parameter from the sitemap to an xquery using the
XQueryGenerator?

I've got:

sitemap.xmap:

  <map:match pattern="body/*">
    <map:generate type="xquery" src="xquery/get-section.xq">
      <map:parameter name="section-id" value="{1}" />
    </map:generate>
    <map:serialize type="xml" />
  </map:match>

and the get-section.xq file:

xquery version "1.0";
declare namespace request="http://exist-db.org/xquery/request";
<param
name="section">{request:request-parameter('section-id','none')}</param>

The resulting document will always be:
<param name="section">none</param>

I've tried putting the parameters as a query string to the generator
source ('..ion.xq?section=...') but that doesn't work and I've tried to
see if the parameter is available as an XQuery variable but its not.

I know this is probably really simple but I can't seem to find the
answer anywhere.

Thanks in advnace,
Richard
