converting FlowApp to new FOM

[Jeremy Quinn]

Hi All,

I am in the process of converting a flow app written for Cocoon2.1RC1 
to the new FOM.

The first problem I face is with the Request Object.

My helper Java Classes have been written to take an 
org.apache.cocoon.environment.Request Object, but now my flowscripts 
are not able to pass this anymore.

public interface Form {
        
        /**
         * Update the Form from the incoming Request Parameters
         * @param request Cocoon Request
         */     
        public void populate (org.apache.cocoon.environment.Request request);
// snip
}
The only methods of Request that my Classes call are to do with getting 
request parameters.

Is it safe to just convert these classes to use the 
org.apache.cocoon.components.flow.javascript.fom.FOM_Cocoon.FOM_Request 
and call methods like public String jsFunction_getParameter(String 
name) instead?

Or do I need a different approach?

thanks for any help

regards Jeremy
