Hi Bill,
I can't do anything with request contexts in the image.
self session
self requestContext
etc
won't work in the debugger as they are dynamic variables which use the exception mechanism to retrieve their value (search for references to WACurrentRequestContext)
If you are in the debugger and you need the session or the request context you can either follow the stack trace until you find a variable holding the session or request context or just add the following code to the method you are debugging and resume the debugger:
| theSession theRequestContext |
.
.
.
theSession := self session.
theRequestContext := self requestContext.
self halt.
---
Hope this helps
Nick

I don't understand what you have been doing wrong. "WACurrenrRequestContext
value" will always be available if you are inside a callback or rendering -
virtually anywhere in Seaside. Wherever you have a WAComponent you can also
send #session to it.
