Hi,
Meanwhile I have built an inputmodule that gets the login ID (and other user
info) from the authentication manager and feeds it as an attribute to the
modular database actions. You can find the source at
http://www.datagram.nl/AuthAttributeModule.java
Configure:
1) put the compiled class in
cocoon/WEB-INF/classes/nl/datagram/cocoon/components/modules/input
2) add a line to the cocoon.xconf:
<component-instance
class="nl.datagram.cocoon.components.modules.input.AuthAttributeModule"
logger="core.modules.input" name="j-auth"/>
3) Your db descriptor file must look like:
<root>
<connection>survey</connection>
<table name="t_consult" alias="t_consult">
<keys>
<key name="userid" type="string" autoincrement="false">
<mode name="j-auth" parameter="ID" type="others"/>
</key>
</keys>
etc...
This will e.g. do a select query on the database "select * from t_consult
where userid=ID", where ID is your login ID.
This will only work with the modular database actions of 2.1. See the latest
docs on modules and database actions.

Subject: Re: Authentication framework (sunshine in 2.0.3) and modular
database actions
hi,
...sorry, no answer to your question! i'm having a similar problem, but i'm
still stuck at a lower level. i want to use the result ID of an
authentication by the sunrise framework for a database query, using xsp. you
said you've found a way to access the ID using
org.apache.cocoon.webapps.session.components.SessionManager. is there a
simple way to get the ID, say, in a string using java?
i would very appreciate your help, since i can't get the cocoon source to go
through it myself right now - good old modems... ;)
