Thank you, I had even tried that before, but just found out the reason why
it didn't work then - the Context doesn't properly support XPath:
I was requesting
getInputModuleAttribute("authentication//ID");
>From a quick look at the ContextInputModule you will see that this is only
translated into
context = contextManager.getContext("authentication");
something = context.getXML("//ID")
...
The context returns null. However, this works:
getInputModuleAttribute("authentication/authentication/ID");
I tried different ways retrieving information from the context:
context.getXML("authentication/ID"); -> "guest"
context.getXML("/authentication/ID"); -> "guest"
context.getXML("//ID"); --> NULL
context.getXML("authentication//ID"); --> NULL
The last both should be "guest" as well, but it's not working. If those
basics don't work, XPath is pretty useless to me. :(

| The right one is:
|
| getInputModuleAttribute("authentication/authentication/ID");

| You can use XPath constructs only after the first component of the

| This input module provides access to the information of a session
