How to access frontEndContext from within PartEditor

Hello

I created a part editor and want to add the site name to the URL path for building an editing form. 

And am now looking for a way to access frontEndContext from within a PartEditor but cannot figure out how.

When I do this:

        Map objectModel = ContextHelper.getObjectModel(context);

        infomessage = "Keysfound in objectModel = ";
        Iterator it = objectModel.keySet().iterator();
        while (it.hasNext()) {
            Object keyfound = it.next();
            infomessage = infomessage + " / " + keyfound.toString() ;
            infomessage = infomessage + " (" + keyfound.getClass().toString() + ") ";
        }
       
       
       
I get this:

Keysfound in objectModel =
/ org.apache.cocoon.components.CocoonComponentManager (class java.lang.String)
/ httpservletcontext (class java.lang.String)
/ source-resolver (class java.lang.String)
/ context (class java.lang.String)
/ cocoon.flow.context (class java.lang.String)
/ httprequest (class java.lang.String)
/ request (class java.lang.String)
/ response (class java.lang.String)
/ httpresponse (class java.lang.String)

Is the frontEndContext to be found using any of the objects, which are to found in the objectModel... ?

// request = org.apache.cocoon.environment.http.HttpRequest@8c5488
// context = org.apache.cocoon.environment.http.HttpContext@101acff
// cocoon.flow.context = null
// httpservletcontext = ServletContext@104d976{/,file:/usr/local/daisy-2.2/daisywiki/webapp/}
// request = org.apache.cocoon.environment.http.HttpRequest@8c5488

Thank you for any helpful advice.

This is what I am doing in a field editor I created that uses site name.  I assume this same code would work in the part editor.

   private String getSiteName() {

      String siteName= "null";
      try {
         Map objectModel = ContextHelper.getObjectModel(context);                
         HttpRequest request = ( HttpRequest ) objectModel.get("request");
         SiteConf siteConf = WikiHelper.getSiteConf(request);        
         siteName= siteConf.getName();

      } catch (Exception e) {
         logger.error("Exception getting site name in FunctionalAreaFieldEditor.", e);
      }
      logger.info("site name from FunctionalAreaFieldEditor is " + siteName);
      return siteName;
   }

According to this post http://www.nabble.com/How-to-get-collection-for-field-editor-td25285341.html you can also get the site from the document context but I did not immediately see how to get that so the WikiHelper works for me.

Yes, you can get the frontEndContext via the request.  Like this:

FrontEndContext.get(request).

Other than that, in the editor you can access the site via javascript,
e.g. alert(daisy.site.name);

HTH,
