CookieManager, left hand column.

"Custom" is not a Java class. You define a bean with the name documented, of which there is an example in global.xml commented out, and I explicitly gave you an example of how to define the necessary bean to expose the object you want to access via a map in the $custom variable in the view.

Then it's just  $custom["foo"] to access that key in the map.

I guess I don't really understand what you mean by examples, then. The only examples I know how to build are those that do some specific thing. I don't know how to do half the job.
