Here is a simple alternative:

Use input modules to insert the application specific base urls. Something like:

<map:generate src="{my-config:base-url}/my-query.xml" />

You have several default input modules at your disposal, for reading properties files, xml, etc. You 
can define them locally in your sitemap by the way..
