RE: Session lost on authentication [SOLVED]

[Adam Ratcliffe <ad...@mrigitech.com>]

The problem was all mine.  I was trying to access the FOM object in a jx
template when the pipeline it belonged to was not being called from
flowscript, hence
the object was not in context.

Cheers

  Subject: Session lost on authentication


  I've got a problem with the user session being lost after successful with
authentication via a custom Java authenticator.
  In my authenticator class I create a user bean and put it in the user's
session like this:

          SessionManager sm = (SessionManager)
manager.lookup(org.apache.cocoon.webapps.session.SessionManager.ROLE);
          Session s = sm.getSession(true);
          s.setAttribute("user", user);
          manager.release(sm);

  When the authenticator returns control to its handler, the user is
redirected to the redirect uri declared for the auth-login action
  (see below) and this invokes a pipline with the this snippet:

  <jx:if test="${!empty(cocoon.session.user)}"> ...

  This test fails because no session exists.

  Can anyone enlighten me as to what's happening here?

  Cheers
  Adam
