Ok, agree.
So, are there any suggestions how that behavior can be controlled?
Is it a LangSelect's task to store the language in the session or in a
cookie?
I've implemented some configuration possibilities for the LangSelect, but
I'm not sure that they can be very useful in the case, when lang for the
session differs from the lang in a cookie. Now the action can be used as
this:
<map:action name="lang-select"
src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.LangSelect">
<!-- Should the action create a session to store the language
code. -->
<create-session>true</create-session>
<!-- Should the action store the lang code in the session -->
<store-in-session>true</store-in-session>
<!-- Should the action store the lang code in a cookie -->
<store-in-cookie>true</store-in-cookie>
<!--
I am going to add other configuration params:
cookie-age - the cookieAge attribute of the cookie with the lang
code
param-name - the name of the request param, the session
attribute and the name of the cookie.
Now it's hard coded and equals to 'lang'.
-->
</map:action>
Maybe it's better to make these settings params, so for some pipelines thay
can be defined dynamicaly from the sitemap?
Btw, why the syntax for configuration and sitemap params are different? Why
not to use:
<parameter name="create-session" value="true" />?
