WARequestContextNotFound - where to look for a context?

I am trying to create anchors that will "dynamically" serve pdf documents. The archive in question is way too big for a FileLibrary and a separate web server is probably overkill since I intend to do all of this locally and would rather not have to run Apache on the machines in question (security paranoia or laziness, take your pick<g>) . So, I was hoping to create mime documents on the fly.

I found suggestions such as:

    component session requestContext respond:[ :response |
        response
            document:self getPdfBytes
            mimeType: 'application/pdf'
            fileName: 'seaside-test.pdf';
            doNotCache

I don't see #getPdfBytes, but suspect I can wing it given the file names in anchors.

The problem is that everything I ask for a requestContext feigns ignorance. I can't even get #session because of the same error. I am using Seaside 3 from the Pharo 1.3 image and Seaside downstream project.

Any suggestions?

Bill

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.

You can serve static files from disk with Comanche if you want. See:

for configuration ideas.
