I have just come back from holiday and, upon downloading the new 2.1 release, am having the same problem with some of 
my components.

For example, I have a very simple session generator that takes the session data and throws it out as XML. The code 
that does this is:

SessionContext context = (SessionContext) s.getAttribute("org.apache.cocoon.webapps.authentication.SessionContext");
context.streamXML("/global/authentication", super.contentHandler, super.lexicalHandler);
...

As you can see, this takes the 'SessionContext' object that is stored in the session and uses the 'streamXML' method 
to pass the data as XML to the next component in the pipeline.

Since the official 2.1 release the 'org.apache.cocoon.webapps.authentication.SessionContext' session object/attribute 
has gone being replaced 
with 'org.apache.cocoon.webapps.authentication.components.DefaultAuthenticationManager/UserStatus'. This is a 
different class and AFAICS is undocumented. ALL of my session components no longer work.

Can anyone explain why this change was made and how to access the XML session data from within Java code.

Many thanks,

Paul.
