Getting visit + parameters in service()

["Mayne, Peter" <Pe...@ap.spherion.com>]

I've written a service that provides a file download facility. In getLink(),
I can use

    Visit visit = (Visit)cycle.getPage().getVisit();

to get the visit object where I store the user's username. However, in
service(), cycle.getPage() returns null.

How do I get the visit object in service()?

Also in service(), I'm getting the single servicelink parameter I set with
constructLink() using

            cycle.getRequestContext().getParameter("sp");

I had to figure out the "sp" part by running the page and looking at the URL
that was produced, since I couldn't find this documented. Did I miss it, or
isn't it there?

Thanks.

If it is a custom service you will have to load the page (in the service 
method usually) using cycle.getPage("pageName"). The "pageName" is 
usually obtained from the encoded URL. You may also get the Visit from 
the engine using engine.getVisit() or engine.getVisit(IRequestCycle). 
The first method only returns a visit if it already exists and the 
second one creates a new visit if it does not already exist.

AbstractService has a method getParameters(IRequestCycle) that returns 
the parameters in the form of objects, cool huh!
