Session variables

Hi,

Can I get and set session variables in my Orbeon app? I saw there is an xforms function get/set-session-attribute(), however, I have disabled the xforms engine in my app since I rely on a client side engine, so that is probably not useful to me. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mats

Mats,

We do have xxforms:get-session-attribute() and
xxforms:set-session-attribute(), callable from XForms, but as you say
that will work only in our XForms engine:

With the pipeline engine, you can use oxf:scope-generator:

Re: Re: Session variables

Ok, thanks for confirming. The scope-generator is only for getting, not setting, right..?

In order to be able to get/set session variables using the xxforms:set-session-attribute(), is there perhaps a way to use the client side xforms solution in parallel with the orbeon's xforms engine?

Would a custom processor be appropriate for solving this task?

Thanks,

Mats

Re: Re: Re: Session variables

oxf:scope-generator to get, oxf:scope-serializer to set.

You could write a custom processor, but I would do this only if
oxf:scope-serializer doesn't do the job (or if it can't be enhanced to
do the job).

xxforms:set-session-attribute() requires the server-side XForms engine
to run, so I am not sure how to integrate this with client-side
XForms.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Session variables

Ok! I overlooked the scope-serializer(), which ought to solve my problem, thanks!
