Re: Problem with losing session context 'authentication' - looking fo r workaround or bugfix

[Joerg Heinicke]

No help from my side and not much time to investigate at the moment. It 
really sounds weird. And - that's the reason I write - I fear that I 
will come to the same problem when I switch on authentication in my 
application. I already have some test pipelines as it is my first 
project with authentication framework. Have you done some remote 
debugging to see what's going on?

Hi,

Can someone please help me in finding either a workaround or a bugfix to the
following problem:
I loose the 'authentication' context in the session when I go from one
"protected" page to the next "protected" page when I access it directly
(i.e. by it's internal url).
In detail:

Setup:
- default Cocoon root sitemap with automounted subsitemap of my app. 
- authentication-fw setup like the sample with the flowscripts (auth.js).
Works.
- all "public" urls go through the "protect" function to their "internal"
counterpart.
- all internal/*.html urls go to an appropriate javascript function
- all internal/*.form urls generate a form:

<map:match pattern="**/internal/*.form">
    <map:generate type="jx" src="content/{2}Template.jx"/>
    <map:transform type="cinclude"/>
    <map:transform type="forms"/>
    <map:transform src="stylesheets/resources/forms-samples-styling.xsl">
          <map:parameter name="uri" value="stylesheets/resources"/>
    </map:transform>
    <map:call resource="html-layout"/>
    <map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
- one of the cincludes is getUser:
<map:match pattern="getUser">
	<map:generate src="system/authentication.xml"/> 
	<!-- this is <session:getxml context="authentication" path="/"/> -->
	<map:transform type="session"/>
	<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>

Function doSomething() {
 var obj = getObject();
 form.load(obj);
 form.showForm("internal/someForm.form");
 form.save(obj);
 storeObject(obj);
 cocoon.sendPage("internal/anotherForm.html"); <-- ERROR!!
}
The last line throws an exception which boils down to "cannot find
'authetication' context". I'm fairly sure the exception originates from the
sessionTransformer.
I have to rewrite it to cocoon.sendPage("public/anotherForm.html").

This works in simple cases, but when I add bizData they get lost in the
process. I.e.:
Function doSomething() {
 var obj = getObject();
 form.load(obj);
 form.showForm("internal/someForm.form");
 form.save(obj);
 storeObject(obj);
 var bizData = { object: obj}
 cocoon.sendPage("public/anotherForm.html", bizData); <-- bizData is lost!!
}
To make things even worse:

I log in successfully and my first redirected page shows. Everything ok. I
now click on a menu item (-> public/doSomething.html). The forms shows ok,
but when I press submit I get the authentication error again. When studying
what happens it looks like a second thread is started (i.e. the function is
executed twice) and the error seems to occur when the second thread tries to
display the form.
What can I do?

Bye, Helma
