[opencms-dev] Request object

[M Butcher]

Seems like there may be a few ways to do that.

First of all, if you can get the request (HttpServletRequest) from the
class (e.g. cms.getRequest()), then you can use setAttribute(String,
Object) to add a new param and getAttribute(String) to get it. I don't
know what the scope of attributes are, so you may have to do some
testing to make sure that the values aren't persisting too long.

Second, I think there is a similar facility in
com.opencms.file.RequestContext -- and you can get the request context
from cms.getRequestContext()

Third, you could use the CmsSession object, I think, though it persists,
so you'd have to remove stuff once you were done.

In any case, I don't know of a way to add stuff to the parameters in a 
HttpServletResponse once it is initialized. If anyone knows how, I'd
like to learn.

Hope at least one of those will work.
