Getting Cocoon Session from outside
Hi,
I am trying to integrate Cocoon 2.04 application with the Java [SpringMVC] app.
Is there a way to obtain Cocoon Session [or ObjectModel] from outside of Cocoon application ?
I need session to get a UserProfile.
Please advise.
Thank you in advance,
Oleg.

That means I can not even place the whole Spring project inside of Cocoon one as a separate directory
because WEB-INF has to be right behing the root directory, correct ?
If I place Spring project JSPs in a separate directory within Cocoon project,
where/how do I map it (specify it that Spring PageController knows where they are)?
(as of now, they are in the root of Spring app)
Thank you,
Oleg.

Hmm, not that I know of. I guess you could keep the display templates
etc. in separate directories but at the very least they have to share
the WEB-INF. I guess that's the tradeoff: if you want two servlets to
share session data then they have to be within the same application.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Jason,
>It's all one "project", with a single web.xml file for the two servlets.So you are saying they have to be merged into one web application.
Is there a way to keep them in 2 separate directories on the same level (e.g. /deploy/app1 & /deploy/app2)
so I can build them separately with ant, keep them separately in CVS, etc ?
I would like to avoid merging them completely...
Thank you,
Oleg.

Both servlets are configured within the same servlet context, so they
would result in URLs like:
http://localhost:8080/mycontext/spring/mySpringForm.form
http://localhost:8080/mycontext/cocoon-transformed-document.xml
The mappings are just saying that any path within the servlet context
that starts with /spring/ will use the Spring servlet, and anything else
will use the Cocoon servlet. It's all one "project", with a single
web.xml file for the two servlets.

Re: Getting Cocoon Session from outside

Jason,
Is that two or one Web Project(s) ?
Looking at the servlet-mapping's url-pattern:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SpringMVC</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/spring/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Cocoon</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Looks like you put the SpringMVC project inside the Coocoon web project [<cocoon-app>/spring].
Or can they still be 2 separate web projects (with root on the same level, like /cocoon-app & /spring-app) ?
But AFAIK each web project must have it's own /WEB-INF/web.xml. Is that not correct ?
Thank you,
Oleg.

web.xml isn't specific to Cocoon, it's the way that Java servlets in
general are configured. You can configure multiple servlets within a
single web.xml file. The web.xml that ships with Cocoon just has the
CocoonServlet configured within it, but you can easily add other
servlets, such as the Spring MVC servlet, in the same file. It doesn't
"become a part of Cocoon", it lives alongside it.

I've never used SpringMVC, but looking quickly at the docs it uses a
DispatcherServlet. So for instance in your web.xml you can configure
everything under the path "spring/" to use the DispatcherServlet, and
everything else to use CocoonServlet:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Cocoon</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet</servlet-class>
...(the rest from Cocoon's default web.xml)...
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SpringMVC</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
...(see Spring's documentation for other configuration)...
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SpringMVC</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/spring/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Cocoon</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
So that's pretty much it. Both servlets are now configured in the same
servlet container and share a HTTPSession.
Hope that helps.

Jason,
So you are saying that Java/SpringMVC app should become a part of Cocoon app, right ?
Otherwise how can they share web.xml...
Please explain in more details.
Any code sample ?
(I am a novice in both SpringMVC and Cocoon)
Any help is very appreciated.
Thank you,
Oleg.

If you configure the Spring MVC servlet within the same servlet context
(the same web.xml) as Cocoon, then the two servlets have access to the
same HTTPSession. You'll just need to set up your servlet-mappings so
that one pattern uses Spring's servlet and the other uses the Cocoon
servlet.
