Hi Jos,
I pulled out my old Cocoon book by Mathew Langham and Carsten Ziegeler
and found that there is a racehorse in the stable called Action.
On pp. 250 of this book they have a simple example on how to implement
an "action" and I did that and lo and behold all works now.
I was trying to implement Single Sign On in the Cocoon app against
Microsoft Active directory and to save others that trouble I shall
writeup post how I did it.
Thanks again for all your help.

Well, that seems indeed like a rather complex way to achieve a simple
thing.
How about this:
- 2.1 still has a horse called "xsp", which is a scripting language
ensuring nicely balanced tags. Like an "xml-ized" jsp.
an xsp page has direct access to request data, and you have access
to pages. I can send you an example.
- in 3 there is no xsp anymore (it got accused of witchcraft or so ;-) ).
Cheers,
Jos

Hi Jos,
Thank your for your reply--I am using that old workhourse, Cocoon
2.1 (.11)
I find that there it appears to be not that simple at all. I use
flowscript and Java and am trying to implement Windows Single SIgn On
with SPNEGO.
The issue is that it needs HttpServletRequest while all I have in the
flowscript is cocoon.request which is not the same.
I found the following method on the web.
a) get the application context (avalon)
public void contextualize(Context context) throws ContextException {
objectModel = ContextHelper.getObjectModel(context);
}
b) then with the objectModel, we can do:
final HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest)
objectModel.get(HttpEnvironment.HTTP_REQUEST_OBJECT);
Good...but my problem is simple and after many hours I still don't
know how to do this:
How does one access the Avalon context in Javascript and then pass it
to the Java layer?
Now after much reading I find that I should probably write an Action
and use the sitemap to fire the action. I gather the sitemap will
automatically make the objectmodel available to my action code and
then I can proceed as in step b above. My only problem is I have
never written or used an action and so am a bit wary.

Hi Paul,
C3 or C2.2?
In cocoon-3 you may want to use:
import org.apache.cocoon.servlet.util.HttpContextHelper;
HttpServletRequest request;
public void setup(Map<String, Object> parameters) {
request = HttpContextHelper.getRequest(parameters);
}
from within a cocoon generator.
Cheers,
Jos

Hi there,
Does anyone know how one can pass the Cocoon request to a java
function that needs to use HttpServletRequest?
I passed in the cocoon.request to the Java function using but
inside the Java code I am not able to cast the cocoon request to
the HttpServletRequest.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
