SetterAction (Session)

[Merico Raffaele <ra...@less.ch>]

Dear Community

In the API java doc of cocoon 2.1.9 there is a class
org.apache.cocoon.acting.SetterAction. 

I tried to use it in various ways but I never got the usage that I need. And
that is: 
a) I would like to read a part of the URL (i.e. skin name, not as request
parameter), 
b) store this information in the session and 
c) reuse the session value with the sitemap input modules {session:...} or
{session-attr:...}

I would very appreciate if anybody could tell me if the above described
SetterAction/InputModule is the right mix of functionality or if there is
another way to achieve my goal.    

For your support many thanks in advance ... Raffaele

I use for this org.apache.cocoon.acting.SessionPropagatorAction, which 
store parameters in a session. You can read them later using 
{session-attr:...}.

yes cocoon can do this for you if you want by matching the specific part 
of your url:

/skinname/someurl/somepage

a matcher looking like: pattern="*/**"

would give you the skinname in {1}.

Yes I guess you can do this by using the session transformer if you want 
(http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/session.html)

Yes this a correct approach to use.

Yes this is one way. Another solution is passing your page through 
flowscript.

You can then set your session from flowscript and request the session 
information with the same session inputmodule in the sitemap.
