Hi, The context is recreated for every request so you can only save request duration information in there. If you need longer scope then you can use the http session or even the application context (the whole duration of the webapp). Last if you need persistent information you'll need to use a class/object in XWiki (best solution) or manually save the data in your own table in the database (not recommended).
Hope it helps, -Vincent On May 16, 2008, at 5:09 AM, Kamna Jain wrote: > I just saw Vincent's response to the question on persisting some > information > entered by the user on one page across a few other pages linked to > this > page. > > Regarding saving something in the context, I tried using this before > in some > templates (.vm files) , but it did not work. > I use dthe $context.put and $context.get...and in the put() method, I > created my own key and gave it a prticular value.
