In order to communicate with XMLFormTransformer and to handle restarting continuations, this script needs access to:
cocoon.session cocoon.componentManager cocoon.environment.objectModel cocoon.forwardTo()
Why do you need direct access to the objectModel?
Only because of the design of XMLForm: it stores the form "view" in the object model and several of the methods of org.apache.cocoon.component.xmlform.Form require the object model as a parameter.
Ah, ok.
Regardless of the flow, there doesn't appear to be lot of consistency in the way Cocoon components communicate: sometimes they stash stuff in request parameters, sometimes in the session, sometimes in the object model. In any case there seems to be no explicit contract,
I'm all in favor of discussing the introduction of such explicit contract and make the system coherent. Do you have something in mind?
