Ivelin,

thanks for clarifying that. Carsten insisted to me that the session was in
fact tracked - but I didn't spot the use of the HTTP client library when I
looked quickly through the code.

So, I expect that would be a good start for what Hussayn needs.

Hussain,

The WebServiceProxyGenerator contained in Cocoon should already provide
most of what you need (i.e. connecting to a remote server and maintaining
state using coookies). Don't be put off by the name.

That being said, I have not used it - so you may need to contact Ivelin (I
think he wrote it) about it.

Hussayn,

from a quick look at the code I don't think the WebServiceProxyGenerator
tracks cookies from the remote server. So that would need to be added. Or
perhaps Ivelin already has this. Adding this capability to the generator is
a good idea anyway.

I would suggest you send Ivelin a mail. He may not read your post as you
sent it to the -users list.

Re: [ Book ] Thoughts on the newer Cocoon book?

2002-11-02 Thread mlangham
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone else has looked at the newerof the Cocoon books entitled, Cocoon 2 Programming: Web Publishing withXML and Java ... I just picked it up last night and I'm working my waythrough it, and I was wondering what other people thought of it so far.I received my copy last week - but have only had time to flick through it. Of course my opinion may then be slightly biased :-)Matthew

Hi,I'm sorry to be so direct: I don't think you have really yet grasped what it means to use open source software or to paricipate in an open source community. In a cathedral world you could demand that the vendor of your software answers all your questions - but here - things are different. Have you not noticed that you are receiving no answers to your questions? Don't you ask yourself why this is so? I can assure you it is not because there is no-one here :-). i am happy with this, yes i read some very interesting articlesespecially those from sn, (good stuff). I did not (yet) readthe books published about cocoon though...If you are looking for the big picture then I really do suggest you read our book (sorry: shameless plug). You will gain a better idea of Cocoon and how you can use which parts to do what.If you want to know which parts of Cocoon may help you in your new application then go ahead and post more details on what you are looking for. There is a lot of experience here and I am sure people will be able to point you in the right direction. But if you are looking for people to do your work for you - then you've come to the wrong place.If you think features in Cocoon are lacking then check out the code from CVS, make it better and then submit your changes. There is a separate mailing list for developers (cocoon-dev). Again, sorry for being so direct. I would be happy to provide more information if you still do not understand how things work here.

Re: cocoon- vs. tomcat-authentication ???

2002-10-26 Thread mlangham
while browsing through the cocoon docs, i realised, thatcocoon offers an authentication mechanism on it's own.Since i'm developing webapplications using tomcat inaturally use the authentication Realms provided by tomcat.But when i want to use cocoon on top of tomcat, what shall i do:Either drop the cocoon authentication in favour of thetomcat auth. or vice versa ?That basically depends on what you want to achieve. The Cocoon authentication mechanism will allow you to protect individual pipelines or groups of pipelines (read: application). The Cocoon authentication mechanism is completely based on Cocoon pipelines and the default version authenticates against files. But you can extend (or change) the authentication pipeline so that say a database is used (or LDAP) or whatever system happens to be there.The Cocoon authentication framework also contains simple browser based tools that you can then use to administrate the user database (_should you need them_).So the real advantage is the tight integration in Cocoon and the flexibility.Hope this helps for startsMatthew LanghamSN AG

2.) I set up the cocoon authentication let's saywith an LDAP based user database.By this i protect pipelines instead offiles and directories.Yes you can do this. Although I am not sure whether the LDAP functionality contained in Cocoon will be enough for what you want.3.) As a benefit i get a basic administrationfront end for my LDAP-user databse just for free .Just remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch. :-)MatthewSN AG
