How do I get to the request object in a webflow.

Question

How do I get to the request object in a webflow.
I created a input process and one function it needs to do is create a cookie.
Problem is I don't have a response object.
How do I create/get the response object so I can create a cookie.
Thanks

Michael,
// get the HttpServletResponse from the HttpServletRequest
HttpServletResponse response =
equest.getAttribute( WebflowConstants.HTTP_SERVLET_RESPONSE );
Cookie cPassword = new Cookie("YYY","ZZZ");
cCustSeqNumber.setPath("/");
cPassword.setPath("/");
response.addCookie(cCustSeqNumber);
response.addCookie(cPassword);
You HAVE the HttpServletRequest...
public Object process(HttpServletRequest req, ObjectrequestContext)
throws ProcessingExceptionMake sense?

How can I get to the response this way ?
this just stored the response as an attribute did it now ?
If I don't have it, how can I use it in a setAttribute ?
Sorry just a little slow
I can't do this can I ?
request.setAttribute(WebflowConstants.HTTP_SERVLET_RESPONSE,response);
Cookie cPassword = new Cookie("YYY","ZZZ");
cCustSeqNumber.setPath("/");
cPassword.setPath("/");
response.addCookie(cCustSeqNumber);
response.addCookie(cPassword);

Michael,
I found this handy snippet in our code:
// Put the httpServletResponse into the request, this is done
in
case IPs want to
// use the response to deposit cookies. The IPs maynot howeverwrite
// anything to the response as this will cause an
IllegalStateException
request.setAttribute(WebflowConstants.HTTP_SERVLET_RESPONSE,
response);
So, the HttpServletResponse is bound into the HttpServletRequest usingthe
key, WebflowConstants.HTTP_SERVLET_RESPONSE.
Magic!
