[Helma-user] Session.message with res.redirect()

Fri Jan 25 05:03:15 CET 2008

Hi Tom,
You actually want res.message and not session.message.
The docs for it are at:
http://helma.zumbrunn.net/reference/res.html

or in your local helma install in:  
docs/framework/res.html

if you want to cache a message/variable for use any time in the user
session you need to assign it as a property of the session.data object

Maks.
