New actions for Cocoon 2

           Summary: New actions for Cocoon 2
           Product: Cocoon 2
           Version: 2.0rc1
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.arsenio.net/cocoon/newactions.zip
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: sitemap components
        AssignedTo: cocoon-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: paolo@arsenio.net


(remember to change the package definition)
1) CookieCreatorAction (to create or remove cookies)
2) CookieValidatorAction (to validate cookies like RequestValidatorAction does 
with request parameters)
3) DatabaseAuthenticatorAction (a modified version of 
DatabaseAuthenticatorAction that supports a new attribute named 'append-
session' to specify to append or replace an existing session if authentication 
don�t fail; feel free to rename it)
4) DatabaseCookieAuthenticatorAction (to do user authentication with cookies 
and a database connection like DatabaseAuthenticatorAction does with request 
parameters)

I hope you'll find these useful.

I thing the next changes to the actions should be rewriting more generic 
actions that supports multiple sources of couples of data (session attributes, 
request parameters, sitemap parameters or cookies values) without rewriting a 
new action. This should be done with a simple "src" attribute 
(session/request/sitemap/cookie). 

The same thing should be applied to the database authenticator action. "from-
cookie", "from-request", "from-session", "from-sitemap" should be added 
like "to-cookie" and so on...
