The "cocoon" object only exists in the flowscript. In JXTemplate, you 
can directly access the "parameters" variable : 
#{$parameters.getParameter('publishedJobServer')}

This makes me think we should unify the notation across the various 
components of a flow-script application. In this regard, it would be 
more consistent to have "request", "session", "context" and "parameter" 
as children of a "cocoon" variable instead of having them directly as 
toplevel variables.

Or are they available as toplevel variables to mimic JSTL from which 
JXTemplate is inspired ?
