Hi Derek,

Thank you very much for your reply. It seems like there is a neat alternative solutions. The user name (as well as other authentication info, like role) can be accessed by referencing the ID element:

    <!-- Take submitted form and write it into the RSS file -->
    <map:match pattern="addNewsItem">
        <map:act type="auth-protect">
                    <map:parameter name="handler" value="portal-handler"/>
                
                    <map:generate type="jx" src="updateRssQuery.xml">
                        <map:parameter name="userId" value="{ID}"/>
                    </map:generate>
                    <!-- map:transform type="xmldb"/ -->
            <map:serialize type="xml"/>
        </map:act>
    </map:match>

Notice the authentication action, without it ID will not be available.

To access this parameter within the JX template use this:

...
<author>${cocoon.parameters.userId}</author>
...

However, passing user name as a request parameter is just as good.

Thank you very much once again.

Sincerely,
ng.

FWIW, I am using:

${parameters.getParameter('userID')}

in my JXTemplates to get the userID, after
it has been passed as a parameter in the
pipelines.

Hi everybody,

I got stuck trying to pass the User Name into a Portal Engine pipeline.

The pipeline looks like this:

<!-- Take submitted form and write it into the RSS file -->
<map:match pattern="addNewsItem">
   <map:act type="auth-protect">
     <map:parameter name="handler" value="portal-handler"/>

<map:generate type="jx" src="updateRssQuery.xml">
<!-- map:parameter name="userId" value="${session-context:authentication/ID}"/ -->
<!-- map:transform type="xmldb"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:act>
</map:match>


I can't use Session transformer to get the ID from the authentication context (there are chances that some of the namespace declarations will

be lost). Passing User Name as a request parameter is not very safe
either.

I am just checking if anybody has ever got access to the authentication

context within the JX template by some other means? In other words, is

there a call similar to ${cocoon.request.getParameter("blah")} that could grant access to the ID parameter within authentication context or

some other way to get access to the parameter?

Thank you very much for your time.

Sincerely,
Nick
