cocoon-core.xconf states:

| InputModules are a replacement to reading values directly

this will lead you to 
src/blocks/linkrewriter/java/org/apache/cocoon/transformation/LinkRewriterTransformer.java

which in turn reveal that there is a 
src/java/org/apache/cocoon/components/modules/input/InputModuleHelper.java

this does not seem like a good idea. What are you trying to achieve?
