Hey all, I'm attempting to get at authentication session data using the session transformer in a installed portlet. That is, I want to check something stored in the user's authentication session data from a pipeline called from the portal itself (and not me directly).
For instance, I have a simple "portlet" xml file that is called by the portal framework that contains: <portal-html> <session:include xmlns:session="http://cocoon.apache.org/session/1.0" ignoreErrors="true"> <session:getxml context="authentication" path="/authentication/data"/> </session:include> </portal-html> if I call this directly by entering the proper url into my browser, I get what is expected: <portal-html> <session:include xmlns:session="http://cocoon.apache.org/session/1.0" ignoreErrors="true"> <title>Mr.</title> <name>Paul</name> </session:include> </portal-html> However, if I go through the portal and load the main portal screen (which should call the same pipeline I just manually issued), the XML never comes up, and I get an error in my log file: DEBUG 2002-11-05 14:35:36.900 [core.session-manager ] (): BEGIN streamContextFragment name=authentication, path=/authentication/data, consumerorg.apache.cocoon.webapps.session.transformation.SessionTransformer@3a95af DEBUG 2002-11-05 14:35:36.901 [core.manager ] (): Got a org.apache.cocoon.webapps.authentication.components.AuthenticationManager from the pool.

It looks like the authentication context is valid, because if I change that to say "foo", I get an error saying the context isn't found. Any help/insight would be appreciated. thanks, rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
