Re: DatabaseUpdateAction and "{session-attr:custid}

[Joerg Heinicke]

Could it be the session attribute is really null and still not 
initialized when the action is executed? Have in mind that actions are 
executed before any generators, transformers, etc.

Hi, 

I posted this question a month ago or so but did not get any reaction.

I hope I've more luck now...

Basically the question is: How can I passs the a session attribute to  a DatabaseUpdateAction ? 

More info below:

I have following in my sitemap: 

<map:action name= "mod-db-upd " 
src= "org.apache.cocoon.acting.modular.DatabaseUpdateAction " > 

<descriptor >context://test/database/database-descriptor.xml </descriptor > 
<throw-exception >true </throw-exception > 
</map:action > 

and 

<!-- -- > 
<!-- Update myaccount/myaccount-update-custinfo -- > 
<!-- -- > 
<map:pipeline > 
<map:match pattern= "myaccount/myaccount-update-custinfo.act " > 
<map:act type= "mod-db-upd " > 
<map:parameter name= "table-set " value= "customers "/ > 
<map:parameter name= "custid " value= "{session-attr:custid} "/ > 
<map:redirect-to uri= "info.act "/ > 
</map:act > 
<map:redirect-to uri= "update-failed.content "/ > 
</map:match > 
</map:pipeline > 

I would like to pass the custid (kept in the session) to the action: 

<map:parameter name= "custid " value= "{session-attr:custid} "/ > 

Looking in the sitemap.log the action appareantly only takes into 
consideration thje paraemeters in the request object: 

From sitemap.log: 
Trying to set column customers.custid from request-param using getAttribute 
method 
Setting column customers.custid [0] null 

How can I passs the session custid to the action ? 

I would like to be sure that if the session is no longer active the user 
cannot update the record anymore.
