Title: How to get the request path from a flowscript

Hi Elad,

 

in you case number 7 is not a request object.

 

What you can do is acces it by passing it from your sitemap:

 

<map:match pattern="*/*/*">

  <map:call function="test">

    <map:parameter name="id" value="{3}"/>

  </map:call>

</map:match>

 

From your flowscript you can get your id like:

 

function test()

{

  var myId = cocoon.parameters["id"];

  print("current id: " + myId );

}

 

if you pass your id like a request parameter ( http://blabla/info?id=7 ) you can acces the request object:

 

then the map:parameter will be like

 

<map:parameter name="id" value="{request-param:id}"/>

 

or you can call it from your flowscript with: cocoon.request.get("id");

 

You can find some more information about flow and the request object at:

 

http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/flow/api.html

 

Greetz,

 

Jeroen

Subject: How to get the request path from a flowscript

Hello All
        Newbie question.
        In my application, I use an object ID in the URL. I.E. - http://blabla/info/7
        In my flowscript, I wish to use the ID (i.e. 7 ).
        How can I reference it from the cocoon.request object ?
        I searched for the answer, but I couldn't find it. Is it a request attribute ? If so  - where can I see the full list of the cocoon request attributes ?

        Thank you !!
