Re: Problem with sendmail action

It works well if all the parameters needed are correct, but otherwise I can't read the "status" parameter that the action set. I think it is perhaps a bug because in the concerned source code, Sendmail.java from org.apache.cocoon.acting package, if the operation fails (an exception is raized), the act method returns null, and then you can't read the "status" (with the value server-error or user-error) parameter nor the "message" parameter, in the sitemap. Is someone cab confirm this ? Thank. Bertrand Goetzmann. After having a look to the source code, yes you're right ! When an exception occurs, the sendmail action returns null to the sitemap. But, I can see this in the source code :    finally{        ObjectModelHelper.getRequest(objectModel).setAttribute(Sendmail.REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE,status); } I guess it is possible to get the status not using what's returned by the action but using what the action sets in the request with the input module request: {request:attributes/org.apache.cocoon.acting.Sendmail/status} for the status and {request:attributes/org.apache.cocoon.acting.Sendmail/status} for the message. This is really a strange behaviour ! -- Philippe GASSMANN
