I knew there had to be a simple answer, many thanx to Jean-Baptiste Quenot on the dev mailing list (in answer to a question from Derek Hohls):

>>
Why don't you use the session-context input module?

Example:

<map:parameter name="userId" 
value="{session-context:authentication/authentication/ID}"/>

Or just:

<map:parameter name="userId" value="{ID}"/>

The above expression works because AuthAction (auth-protect)
returns a map of parameters available in the sitemap.

Cheers

Hmmm, yes, I see what you mean. Looks a bit similar to the way on accesses global settings from a sitemap. It would be nicer if there was an input module for the authentication context settings, so you could replace {session-attr:userID} with for instance {authentication:ID}.

Cheers,
Geert

PS: good search by the way!

POST SCRIPT:

I finally tracked down a fragment of code, posted by Stavros:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=111662268832339&w=2

in which the userID is accessed without having to pass a parameter from the sitemap. The code looks complex and unwieldy (to my non-
Java guru eye), but it works!
Thanks
Derek
