REPOST: Altering session variables via flowscript

[Derek Hohls <DH...@csir.co.za>]

(Note: Posted this a month ago, no reply was offered
so I am trying again!)

Working with Cocoon 2.1.8.
 
I have set a session value for a user, using the session transformer 
in the sitemap.  I now want to alter that value, based on other 
conditions.
 
My sample testing flowscript code looks like:
 
//1. get user's current session  value
var _authContext  = contextMan.getContext("authentication");
var _currUserFrag = authContext.getXML("/authentication/colors"); 
var _currUserColors = Packages.org.apache.cocoon.xml.dom.DOMUtil.getValueOfNode(_currUserFrag);
print ("current Colors for user:" + _currUserColors);

//2. 
newColorID = "blue"
var newUserColors = _currUserColors + ',' + newColorID;
print ("new Colors:"+newUserColors);

//3. set new value in session
cocoon.session.setAttribute("cocoon.session.authentication.colors",newUserColors);

//4. check user's  new session value
_authContext  = contextMan.getContext("authentication");
_currUserFrag = authContext.getXML("/authentication/colors"); 
_currUserColors = Packages.org.apache.cocoon.xml.dom.DOMUtil.getValueOfNode(_currUserFrag);
print ("revised Colors for user:" + _currUserColors)
 
Part 1 might show a value of "red"; Part 2 then shows a value of 
"red,blue" but part 4 still shows a value of "red" - what needs 
to be different in the code?
 
Thanks
Derek

Hi Derek,

sorry I missed the thread. Instead of adding it to the session, add it 
to the authentication context by using:

authContext.setXML("/authentication/colors", fragment)
