Configuring the WebServiceProxyGenerator

[Damien Fitzpatrick <da...@ephox.com>]

Hi there,

 

I am using the WebServiceProxyGenerator to get a file from a password
protected area on a web site.  The cookie needed to authenticate against
the server, JSESSIONID, forms part of the request to Cocoon.  However,
the cookie doesn't appear to get passed through when Cocoon accesses the
web site through the WebServiceProxyGenerator.  How can I ensure that
Cocoon uses this cookie or how do I pass through the user information
need to authenticate cocoon?

 

 

Thanks

Damien

To be honest, if you need to do clever stuff like that, I think you'd be 
better off using a combination of flow and jxtemplateGenerator. In 
flowscript you can do one request to the server to log you in, then 
another to get the protected resource.

But this would require some familiarity in working with Java/Javascript, 
e.g. using the Commons HTTP CLient.

Unless someone else can come up with something better, of course.

Damien,

IIRC Cookies are not passed through the WSProxy.  GET and POST parameters are 
combined and then sent off to the remote service, so you'll need to find a way 
to pass it that way.
