from a cvs perspective, we keep all of our xsl, plus the root sitemap and subsitemap, in its own module. it's important to our development process to keep the xsl & xmaps separate from the application code since it's two different groups of people who do the work. very unfortunately, we had to hardcode absolute paths into our xconf and root xmap, which limits our server configuration options. i feel that better flexibility for the sitemap location is a worthwhile goal, but i'm not sure how to accomplish that. i sure wish java read environment variables... if the xconf could replace a token with a system property, then we could get an environment variable tucked into tomcat's system properties... i'd write a patch if someone could point me in the right direction.
