Contribution: session tracking for Cocoon 2

[Jörg Prante <jo...@7val.com>]

After using Cocoon 2 since October last year and reading the Cocoon-devel 
list since January, I like to give something back.

I have added URI-based session tracking to Cocoon 2. This will be used in one 
of our commercial tools that will use a modified Cocoon 2. I'm sure that 
session tracking will convince many companies of using Cocoon 2 because it is 
a useful feature.

Please apologize if I'm wrong but I couldn't find information on the project 
site about plans if and how Cocoon 2 will support session tracking.

I allowed myself getting bold and wrote an XML Stylebook document for the 
Cocoon 'xdocs' directory which explains all the changes I did to the latest 
CVS. It includes all the code fragments I have added, plus a short 
introduction for people who are not familiar with session tracking. I hope 
this document can be useful for the Cocoon 2 documentation if you decide to 
receive my contribution.

Please excuse me that I am not sending diff's because this will not explain 
things I've done. The CVS is moving so fast that this does not make much 
sense.

I'd like to contribute more features to Cocoon 2 and other Apache projects - 
e.g. log analysis of tracked sessions - if you agree with the proposed 
solution, so please give me some feedback.

Please see the attached sessions.xml for all the details.

Jörg
