Description

I have created a java flow class which does the following:

//Load in validation file
FormInstance form = new FormInstance("forms/login.xml");

My login map (snippet) is as follows:

Login.xml:

    <fd:validation>
        <fd:javascript>
            var success = true;
            var newUserReg = new Packages.test.User();
            var username = widget.lookupWidget("username");
            var password = widget.lookupWidget("password");
           
            try {
                
                var checkUserTest = newUserReg.getUser(username.value, password.value);
                
                if (checkUserTest != null) {
                    cocoon.session.setAttribute("user", checkUserTest);
                    success = true;
                }else{
                    username.setValidationError(new Packages.org.apache.cocoon.forms.validation.ValidationError(e, false));
                    password.setValidationError(new Packages.org.apache.cocoon.forms.validation.ValidationError("The password, username combination does not exist. Please enter another one.", false));
                    success = false;
                }
            } catch (e) {
                    username.setValidationError(new Packages.org.apache.cocoon.forms.validation.ValidationError(e, false));
                    password.setValidationError(new Packages.org.apache.cocoon.forms.validation.ValidationError("e.", false));
                    success = false;
            }

            return success;
        </fd:javascript>
    </fd:validation>

I am getting an error message when the line 'cocoon.session.setAttribute("user", checkUserTest)' is hit.:

ReferenceError: "cocoon" is not defined

What is the issue here, can I create a session object from within form validation/javascript in another way?
