Hello, I'm trying to use Cocoon 2 with SessionValidatorAction and DatabaseAuthenticatorAction to handle user authentication, but I'm unable to get the session validator to see the session variables set by the database authenticator. Searching mail and groups archives didn't help much ... Versions : Cocoon 2.0b1, Tomcat 3.2.3, Apache 1.3.19 (with mod_jk) ------- in sitemap.xmap ------- <map:match pattern=""> <map:redirect-to session="true" uri="welcome"/> </map:match> <map:match pattern="welcome*"> <map:act type="session-validator"> <map:parameter name="descriptor" value="test/resources/session.xml"/> <map:parameter name="validate-set" value="is-logged-in"/> </map:act> <map:generate src="sens3d/plan.xml"/> <map:transform src="stylesheets/html.xsl"/> <map:serialize/> </map:match> <map:match pattern="do-login"> <map:act type="form-validator"> <map:parameter name="descriptor" value="test/resources/session.xml"/> <map:parameter name="validate-set" value="login-form"/> <map:act type="db-authenticator"> <map:parameter name="descriptor" value="test/resources/login.xml"/> <map:redirect-to session="true" uri=""/> </map:act> </map:act> </map:match> ---------------------------- When I try to log in ("do-login"), I get this in the log file : DBAUTH: authorized successfully DBAUTH: session created DBAUTH: propagating param login=henot DBAUTH: propagating param name=Hénot David Action ((Action)this.actions.select( db-authenticator )).act Sitemap: session='true', redirecting to '' redirect: entering session mode redirect: session mode completed, id = lsbkkpjd81 Sending redirect to ';jsessionid=lsbkkpjd81' So everything seems OK but later when the session validator is called : SESSIONVALIDATOR: validating parameters from given constraint-set is-logged-in SESSIONVALIDATOR: given set is-logged-in contains 2 rules VALIDATOR: validating parameter: login VALIDATOR: validating string parameter login (encoded in a string: false) VALIDATOR: validating parameter: name VALIDATOR: validating string parameter name (encoded in a string: false) SESSIONVALIDATOR: all session params validated It looks like the validator didn't see anything in the session, and in fact I can't use the name variable from the xsl stylesheet (always undefined although I put a "<xsl:param name="name"/>" after the xsl:stylesheet) Any help *much* appreciated ! -- David Hénot --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
