[COCOON-1652] ImportPackages in flowscript causes a useless session to be created

• Type: Bug

Description

In flowscript, writing this

importPackage(Packages.org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input);

function f() {
  var module = cocoon.getComponent(InputModule.ROLE +
"Selector").select("someXmlFileModule");
...

causes a session to be created, apparently when InputModule.ROLE is accessed.

This is unexpected as no "user-level" modification is made to the global scope.

If importPackage is not used as below, no session is created:

function f() {
  var module =
cocoon.getComponent(Packages.org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.InputModule.ROLE
+ "Selector").select("someXmlFileModule");


I don't know if the fix is easy, to avoid a session being created in the first
case, but we should at least create some tests to check exactly when sessions
are created.

I hope to do that soon, but I shouldn't write "I hope to do that soon here" as I
don't know when soon will be ;-)
