Getting the User Information from Session

Hey,

I am setting the User information in the Http Session like below in our java app.

getSession().put("user", "admin");

But when I try to access it in xforms, I am not able to get it. But, If I pass as parameters to the URL I am getting using get_request_parameter.

<xforms:setvalue ref="instance('security-instance')/user" value="xxforms:get-session-attribute('user')"/>

Is this the right way to do it? If not what alternative I have instead of passing as url params?

Thanks in advance.

Karun

Karun,

Your use of xxforms:get-session-attribute('user') should work. Are you
getting an error, or just a blank value? Are you using separate
deployment?

RE: Re: Getting the User Information from Session

Erik,

Thanks for looking in to it. I am not getting any error. Just blank. Yes, I am using separate deployment. Am I missing some thing?

Thanks
Karun

Would storing a request attribute work in your case? If it does you
could do something along those lines:

<% request.setAttribute("gaga", "<gaga>toto</gaga>"); %>
<xhtml:html xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
xmlns:xxforms="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/xforms"
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<xhtml:head>
<xforms:model>
<xforms:instance>
<instance/>
</xforms:instance>
<xforms:setvalue ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done"
ref="." value="xxforms:get-request-attribute('gaga')"/>
</xforms:model>
</xhtml:head>
<xhtml:body>
User: <xforms:output value="."/>
</xhtml:body>
</xhtml:html>

I think what you may be running into is what I ran into. Your session or request attribute value has to be xml whether as a string or a dom. The doc seems clear now that I know.....
