Oracle portal session and pl/sql

Question

Hi all i use portal v.10.1.2.2.0 and i would like to play with a session variable. all i do is
grant execute on wwsto_api_session to myportal from portal schema. and then i want to do
l_store := portal.wwsto_api_session.load_session (p_domain, p_sub_domain);
l_store.set_attribute ('myname', 'name');
l_store.save_session;
1) i do not know what is the p_domain, p_sub_domain
2) when i do wwsto_api_session.get_sub_domain and wwsto_api_session.get_domain i get an error.
How can i read and write to a variable session in oracle portal? to to like java set session and get session?
Thank you in Advance,
Antonis

If a session store object has not previously been created for this combination of domain, sub-domain, and session ID, then an empty session store object is created and returned. "

You may want to see the wwsto_api_session here in [Portal APIs|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc1012/index.html].
"Working with the session object
The general procedure for working with the session object is:
1. Load the session object, with an appropriate domain and sub-domain combination, using the load_session method.
2. Manipulate the content of the object using the set_attribute methods, or just access its content using the get_attribute methods.
3. Force these changes to be saved, using the save_session method.
Typically this sequence occurs within the scope of one client routine that extracts and/or sets all of the client states. For example:
declare
l_store portal30.wwsto_api_session;
l_date date;
begin
l_store := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session ('PORTAL', 'TEST');
l_store.set_attribute ('LAST_ACCESSED', sysdate);
l_store.set_attribute ('USERNAME', 'SMITH');
l_store.set_attribute ('COUNRTY_CODE', 1);
l_store.set_attribute ('LOCATION', 'US');
l_store.set_attribute ('LAST_LOGGED_ON', sysdate);
l_store.set_attribute_as_string
('OFFICE_LOCATION', 'CALIFORNIA', 'US', 'STRING');
l_store.save_session;
end;
The login session that creates the session storage object is defined by wwctx_api.get_sessionid. "
ref: wwsto_api_session for Portal 10.1.2
then, look for the functions for getting attributes as number, varchar2, string or index, etc. in the above link.
hope that helps!
