Hi Peter,
In the sitemap you have access to request parameters via Jexl:
<map:match pattern="enquiry">
<map:generate type="someGeneration">
<map:parameter name="from"
value="{jexl:cocoon.request.parameter.fromname}"/>
...
However, it may be far more convenient to use the HttpRequest, as it is
exposed in different ways:
1. if you want to send your user's inputs to a controller to handle them as
in:
<map:match pattern="enquiry">
<controller:call controller="rest-controller"
select="some.package.EnquiryController">
</controller:call>
</map:match>
The http request is accessible by just declaring it with the annotation
@Inject:
@Inject
private HttpServletRequest request;
In your "doPost" method (or even doGet) you can use the request:
String fromName = request.getParameter("fromname");
Instead of sending the input to a controller, it may happen that there is
little to control, and you just want to do a model generation as a response.
In that case:
if you are declaring:
public class SomeViewGenerator extends AbstractSAXGenerator {
You may override the "setup" member :
public void setup(Map<String, Object> parameters) {
try {
request = HttpContextHelper.getRequest(parameters);
The setup member is just called at pipeline setup, and when this happens in
a web application context, the http request is just one of the parameters.
I hope this little expose helps,
Jos

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is
in it - and stay there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot
stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that
is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.
