Session Data
$digiforms:sessionData
When building web applications, a stateful session is often required. Digiforms has built-in capabilities to hold common data across several forms for the active session.
 
Use the Session Data to
  • User identity
    Store information about the user and his privileges
  • Filters for search dialogs
    Keep search-parameters and previous field values throughout user session
  • Configuration
    Various information can be stored to alter behaviour, endpoints and user interface
Configure as you like
The session data xml has no limitations on format.
As long as you define the $digiforms:sessionData prefix, any xml structure can be utlized.
Sample use: Getting a specific value from session data
If you want to retrieve a specific value from session data, you can query or evaluate session data using XPath:
<xsl:value-of select="$digiforms:sessionData/session/user/name"/>
xslt
