Hi John,
unfortunately, it is not enough to set 'fred' as a session attribute, who
would have to set
it as a sitemap parameter just as Artur said.
You can do this inside an action (actions return a java.util.Map and you can
use the keys
stored in it as sitemap parameters. I don't know if it is there in 2.0.1 but
in 2.0.2 you can look
in the docs under User Guide / Concepts / Actions and there at
'Communication between Sitemap
and Action'.
As Artur also pointed out you can call a resource with some parameters which
you can then use as
sitemap parameters inside the map:resource tag.
