Hi,Reading with interest this thread [1] and wondering how it might relate to my situation...
I have a servlet (eXist XML DB) mounted as a block and would like dependent blocks to use http basic auth when calling it via SSF. Each dependent block will have its own username and password defining the eXist collections it has access to. If I understand correctly, SSF generates a new request for each service call - how can I add my auth information to the header of this request? Is it possible to provide username/password in the service uri?
Also, what is the correct way to handle the response codes returned by service calls?
E.g. block B calls block A, block A returns a response code of 403 How can I ... a) Pass this response code back to the user or...b) Hande the response in the sitemap of block B - Perhaps a response code selector to use within <map:handle-errors/>?
... and finally, how best to handle response codes when using <map:aggregate/>, where one or more parts of the aggregate return an error code?
Thanks, Robin [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.cocoon.user/64027
