I submitted bug COCOON-1816 because the cocoon object model was not set up in a way that I expected. It cost hours of lost productivity only to find out I have to bounce my processing for a static page (with a couple variable pieces) through a flowscript just to access cocoon.request. To me that is an example of something that can be fixed to improve the perceived simplicity of the system. It seems unreasonable to require Flowscript first for a largely static page--nothing has to be set up, I just need to get a bit of information from the request object.

I believe the cocoon object model is a great selling point--as long as it is set up consistently and available to all sitemap components without forcing one component to be executed before another. Not all problems require flowscript.

Is the COM strictly tied to the flowscript engine? Is there any way we can safely and simply extract that out?


yes, IIRC this is a problem of JXTemplate(Generator|Transformer) and should be solved by the backported template block. I'm sure that Leszek can tell us more about this.

I am sorry not to reply to the list for some weeks now. I am buried under tons of work.

The backported template block effectively solves the problem described. The main problem was the inconsistency between direct invocation from sitemap ( request.something was only available ) and from flowscript ( cocoon.request.something available ).
