Yes indeed. > I consider this to be a bug. You can consider it to be whatever you want ;-) I guess for a large part it is because of historical reasons (from times before the input modules existed). This doesn't mean it can't evolve, if you have enough itch, be sure to take this up on the dev list. > Particularly since you can't pass in anything through > cocoon.request.getAttribute() unless you go through a flowscript?!? Not sure what you mean here, the sitemap indeed has only a limitted number of constructs, and provides no built-in way to do that (there might be some input-/output-module based action which does this, I'd need to check up on that). In a lot of cases, when you start doing things with objects one probably needs to express more programmatic things anyway, so that going through some flow code is beneficial. > I > eventually had to bounce the request through a flowscript just to get > the value passed.
