Re: Getting Cocoon Session from outside

[Oleg Konovalov]

Jason,

Is that two or one Web Project(s) ?

Looking at the servlet-mapping's url-pattern:

<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>SpringMVC</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/spring/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>Cocoon</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Looks like you put the SpringMVC project inside the Coocoon web project [<cocoon-app>/spring].
Or can they still be 2 separate web projects (with root on the same level, like /cocoon-app &  /spring-app) ?

But AFAIK each web project must have it's own /WEB-INF/web.xml. Is that not correct ?
 

Thank you,
Oleg.

web.xml isn't specific to Cocoon, it's the way that Java servlets in
general are configured.  You can configure multiple servlets within a
single web.xml file.  The web.xml that ships with Cocoon just has the
CocoonServlet configured within it, but you can easily add other
servlets, such as the Spring MVC servlet, in the same file.  It doesn't
"become a part of Cocoon", it lives alongside it.

I've never used SpringMVC, but looking quickly at the docs it uses a
DispatcherServlet.  So for instance in your web.xml you can configure
everything under the path "spring/" to use the DispatcherServlet, and
everything else to use CocoonServlet:

<servlet>
   <servlet-name>Cocoon</servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet</servlet-class>
   ...(the rest from Cocoon's default web.xml)...
</servlet>

<servlet>
   <servlet-name>SpringMVC</servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
   ...(see Spring's documentation for other configuration)...
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>SpringMVC</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/spring/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>Cocoon</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

So that's pretty much it.  Both servlets are now configured in the same
servlet container and share a HTTPSession.

Hope that helps.
