Retrieve pagescope data set in site precontroller from an external

sgouin

Hi all,

running on 7.3.2... I have a site precontroller that sets a few pagescope variables. I am now trying to retrieve those values in a java external, but for some reason, getting a null value back.

The pagescope data is being set properlyl since I was able to pull it out directly using pagescope token, in my component xslt.

However, I need to retrieve it in my java external so I can pass it along to an Oracle stored procedure.

Any ideas?

So is my assumption of how precontrollers work not correct? I assumed a site precontroller fires and completes before page precontrollers, and component externals execute.

With that, I also expected that pagescope data set in my site precontroller could then be retrieved in a java external using the livesite request context (context.getPageScopeData().get("someString"); ?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

That's true, but the page scope context being passed in is not the same object. What you want is to store your data as a request attribute.

[PHP]
@Controller:
context.getRequest().setAttribute("my data", someObj);

@External:
Object someObj = context.getRequest().getAttribute("my data");
[/PHP]
