The JavaScript has the following definition for variable:
var varName = someThing;
Try to use
var user = new User();
SN> and the following - without the user object as parameter for sendPage - not?
SN> function main() {
SN> importClass(Packages.foo.bar.User);
SN> user = new User();
SN> user.setName("Donald Duck");
SN> user.setPassword("foo");
SN> user.setActive(false);
SN> cocoon.sendPage("example.jxt");

SN> My JXTemplate looks like the following lines:
SN> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
SN> <html>
SN> <header>
SN> <titleTest</title>
SN> </header>
SN> <body>

SN> Name: ${user.name}
SN> </body>
SN> </html>
SN> The object "user" exists at foo.bar and the pipeline works fine, because I had
tested it with other calls from the Flow Script. And yes, I have already cleared the
"works" directory.

Flow Script:

But there is no error message displayed. System, please speak with me! On the other
hand, using collections

SN> Sometimes, after I had placed many Java-Code into my Flow Script, the call of the
function cocoon.sendPage() has no effect. No error message displayed, too!
SN> Has anyone one of these problems, too?
SN> It would be nice, if anyone can tell me how to solve these problems, because I
love the use of Flow Script and I want to use it in all my future applications. But
with these problems, there is no
