Hi Leona,

I think there was some discussion about changing how the redirect-to works,
but I believe that in Cocoon 2.0.2, you can't provide parameters via a
map:parameter sub-element.  That is, when you redirect to summary, your
playerID parameter is being ignored.

One possible workaround I've seen mentioned on this list is:

<map:act type="gs-login">
        <map:redirect-to uri="summary?playerID={playerID}"/>
        ...

If you're planning to pass multiple parameters, though, I think someone
posted something about a bug with escaping the ampersand
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=101828372801806&w=2)
Anyway, hope that helps!

Harry

Leona,
I've deleted all but the relevant lines. Since you send a redirect
response to the browser, processing ends.

The browser requests a new page. For this (second) request, no action
is run, thus no values are set.

  client                 cocoon
     ---------gs-login----->
                         (action)
     <---redirect-to-summary

     --------summary------->
     <-------summary--------

If you need to keep the value, you could
a) use cocoon: protocol in a generator
b) put summary in a resource and call it
c) store value e.g. in session

        Chris.

Please follow up summarizing your problem and which suggested solution
/ information worked for you when you consider your problem
solved. Add "SUMMARY: " to the subject line. This will make FAQ
generation and searching the list easier. In addition, it makes
helping you more fun. Thank you.
