I'm attempting to create a custom servlet plug-in but I'm not sure I'm heading down the right path. On our website we have functions that encrypt and decrypt our querystring into one long hash. I want to port that so it can be used in WebFocus. I already have a java class that will do this, and it looks like it would be somewhat straighforward to extend it to use with WebFocus. I'm not quite following how I would make use of the decrypted querystring values. I see things like CopySessionVarToWFVar but those all look to me as taking something that exists and copy it somewhere else. How do I make a NEW session or WF Variable?This message has been edited.

Have a look at Appendix A of the WebFOCUS Security and Administration Version 7 Release 6.1 and Higher (DN4500790.0408). This outlines creating and setting up your own WebFOCUS plugin.
I recently used it to add AES decryption for cookie variables passed by an ASP app to WebFOCUS.
Another option is to use Servlet filters - although I haven't tried that myself.
