Cocoon FOM objects

[Tony Edwards <te...@civica.com.au>]

Hi Cocooners,
I'm a little confused. I'm trying to upload an xml file and process it 
through the sitemap using Flow.
I've hacked the file upload example to suit my needs and I've got the 
file being uploaded to my 'upload-dir' which I've set in web.xml.
I've got some code from an xsp I had lying around which contextualizes 
the file, finds it then processes it. I want to do this processing in 
Flow, not xsp.
My issue is this, I'm trying to get access to the methods returned by 
the FOM_Cocoon object, namely getRequestURI(), getContextPath() etc but 
I keep getting a " getContextPath is not a function" error.
I thought calling the method like this "cocoon.request.getContextPath()" 
was all you needed to do. What am I missing??? Is the cocoon.request 
object differen from the FOM_Cocoon object? Any help would be gratefully 
appreciated.

Thanks a bunch,
Tony

flowscript only allows access to a subset of the request object, the api
is documented here:
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/flow/api.html

As for the FOM_Cocoon class: this is a Java class that defines a
Javascript class/object: only methods whose name start with jsFunction_
are available to flowscript.

I don't know why the particular methods you mention above are not
included in the FOM, you might find more info in the dev list archives.
