thanks for the hint. it's not documented anywhere, but i think
{flow-continuation:id} should do it..

well, this won't help when invoking the usecase, since the continuation
id will only be sent on further requests, not with the initial one.

> {request-param:lenya.usecase}

this one works well.

the problem is that somehow no continuation is created.
both {flow-continuation:id} in a sitemap and ${cocoon.continuation.id}
in a jxtemplate return an empty string.

has anyone else used the usecase framework with URI views successfully?
what can possibly go wrong? i have this feeling that no continuation (or
rather, no flow at all) is generated.

thanks,

jörn

In 1.2, the continuation is added to the FORM ACTION in template.xml with
    <ft:form-template
action="#{$continuation/id}.more?lenya.usecase=myUsecase"
method="POST">

code.js calls
   var form = new Form("form.xml");
   form.showForm("display");

The calling XMAP has:
   <map:match pattern="display">
      <map:generate src="template.xml"/>

So the HTML has:
<form action="184d766a561e247d763381856a3a754422290e8c.more?lenya.usecase=myUsecase"

About now, Andreas should be posting that 1.4 completely changed how
Usecases work, so none of this is relevant.
