Getting a return value from a cocoon:// source

Hey all --

I have a situation where I have a generator calling a cocoon:// source, 
and I would like to be able to return a value to the calling pipeline. 
My current solution is for the called pipeline to put this value into 
the returned xml, and I then have a transformer that just scans through 
the xml looking for that particular element.  However, this is very slow 
when there is a lot of xml returned.

I've tried setting things into the request context from the called 
pipeline, but the caller can never read it.  Is there a trick to getting 
the caller's request context in the called pipeline?

If all else fails, is ThreadLocal a possibility?

thanks,
-steve

Hi Steven:

What about a Session Attribute? Is this a solution? Can you explain more
whta are you trying to do and maybe we can findanother solution. ;-)

Best regards,
