Description

As far as I can see, in the "cocoon" object passed to the flow environment, I always have to access the request parameter names and all values as Java Enumeration(s), therefore, I can't use the "for (var name in array)" kind of loop.

All I want to do is something extremely simple, like this:

  for (var name in cocoon.request.parameters) {
    print("PARAMETER -> " + name);
    print(" VALUE -> " + cocoon.request.parameters[name]);
    print(" LENGTH -> " + cocoon.request.parameters[name].length);

    for (var position in cocoon.request.parameters[name]) {
      var value = cocoon.request.parameters[name][position];
      print (" @[" + position + "] => " + value);
    }
  }

Apparently, but I might have overlooked something, there's currently no way of doing this.

I've created a simple patch, that allows the above mentioned flowscript to work.
