cocoon.session.property syntax

[Leszek Gawron <lg...@mobilebox.pl>]

The wrappers are no more. You cannot write

if ( cocoon.session.user != null )
   //user logged in
in flowscript

That is bearable in flowscript. It gave me shivers thoug when I had to 
fix all my jxtg templates. ${cocoon.session.getAttribute('user').id} 
looks awful.

Even more:
flowscript :
cocoon.session.setAttribute( "radeox", function( str, consumer ) {
    //generates wiki SAX events
} );

then in jxtg I could do:
<jx:macro name="radeox-string">
     <jx:parameter name="value"/>
     <jx:set var="ignored" value="${cocoon.session.radeox( value,
                                               cocoon.consumer )}"/>
</jx:macro>
Right now jexl yields NOT_FOUND function - the real problem is that 
there is no syntax jexl would accept. This fails also (syntax error):

<jx:macro name="radeox-string">
     <jx:parameter name="value"/>
     <jx:set var="radeox"
             value="${cocoon.session.getAttribute('radeox')}"/>
     <jx:set var="ignored" value="${radeox( value, 

                                    cocoon.consumer )}"/>
</jx:macro>

Are we really going to make users fix all their flowscripts and template 
files?

Please not. This change also causes all the Rhino usage warnings as we don't 
wrap the objects correctoy, doesn't it?
