Authentication Framework using LDAP (thru xsp)

[Rajasekhar Atchutuni]

Hi,

I am trying to use the sunrise actions for my authentication but unable to 
pass parameters to my xsp.
My problems:
1. My authentication fails even though I supply the correct username and 
password.  The fail.xsp is being generated.
2. The reason is the parameters.getParameter is not fetching any values - I 
believe they are getting lost. If I print the parameters the values are 
null.
3. I have read in the list that even though you can't pass sitemap 
parameters to a file generator (xsp) you can use request-parameters.
4. I was wondering if I moved the authentication resource to the subsitemap, 
would the parameters get preserved?  But I don't know how to refer to a 
subsitemap pipeline from the main sitemap.
<authentication uri="cocoon://myexecutelogin"/> - what should this be?

This is my cocoon sitemap:
<map:action name="sunRise-auth" 
src="org.apache.cocoon.sunshine.sunrise.acting.AuthAction">
       <handlers>

       <handler name="myhandler" 
xmlns:map="http://apache.org/cocoon/sitemap/1.0";     
xmlns:sunshine="http://sunshine.sundn.de/sunshine/1.0";>
       <!-- The login resource -->
       <redirect-to uri="cocoon:raw://myloginpage"/>
       <authentication uri="cocoon://myexecutelogin"/>
     </handler>

*****
<map:match pattern="myexecutelogin">
        <map:generate type="xsp" src="myapp/xsp/login.xsp">
        <map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/>
        </map:generate>
        <map:serialize type="xml"/>
 </map:match>
-----------------------------------------------
This is my app sitemap (subsitemap):
  <map:match pattern="dologin">
     <map:act type="sunRise-login">
       <map:parameter name="handler" value="myhandler"/>
       <map:parameter name="parameter_name" value="request:Username"/>
       <map:parameter name="parameter_password" value="request:Password"/>
       <map:redirect-to uri="menu.xml"/>
     </map:act>
     <!-- authentication failed:  -->
     <map:generate type="xsp" src="xsp/fail.xsp"/>
     <map:serialize/>
     </map:match>
----------------------------------------------
login.xsp
<xsp:logic>
            <![CDATA[
      String user="";
      String password="";
     try{
     user = parameters.getParameter("parameter_name");
     password = parameters.getParameter("parameter_password");
 }    catch(Exception t){t.printStackTrace();}
    // doing authentication with ldap server..................
   login=Myappauth.login(user,password);
]]>
</xsp:logic>
<xsp:logic>
           <![CDATA[
          if (login==true){
     ]]>
      <authentication>
          <ID><xsp:expr>user</xsp:expr></ID>
          <!--role>rolename</role>
          <data>
              ... resource specific data for the user
          </data-->
      </authentication>
      <![CDATA[
       } else  if (login==false){
     ]]>
      <authentication>
                <data>
                    ... resource specific data for the user
                </data>
      </authentication>
       <![CDATA[
       }
     ]]>
            </xsp:logic>

Any help really appreciated.
Thanks
