liferay sessions

[Daniel Wilmes, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

I am using liferay 6.0.6
with tomcat-6.0.29

I am not at all familiar with session variables, but I need to create a session variable that is shared between all customer portlets, a theme, and the portal.

I noticed there was a LiferayPortletSession, but I think the scope is related only to the portlet?? Any ideas would be great.

Thanks Daniel

Hi Daniel,
take a look here:

I would do a :

HttpServletRequest httpReq = PortalUtil.getOriginalServletRequest(PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest(portletRequest));

Then access the session from the httpReq : it will be the global one.

Hope it helps

Thank you for all the replies. I will look at them. Thanks again for the quick response.

Hi All,

We can simply use as below to get/set session attribute.

PortletSession portletSession = portletRequest.getPortletSession();
portletSession.setAttribute(name, value,scope);

Name = Name of session attribute - by using this name you can get withing defined scope
Value = Value of session attribute
Scope = scope could be APPLICATION_SCOPE or PORTLET_SCOPE

You have to set inside your liferay-portlet,xml

<private-session-attributes>false</private-session-attributes>

Thanks,

Thank you for the reply this is what I have done, but I am not storing the object in the session properly and was wondering what I am doing incorrectly.

 
        Customer customer = CustomerServiceUtil.getPrimaryCustomer(cUser);
        HttpServletRequest httpReq = PortalUtil.getOriginalServletRequest(PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest(actionRequest));
        httpReq.setAttribute("current-customer", customer);
        Customer c = null;
        if(httpReq.getSession().getAttribute("current-customer") != null){
            c = (Customer) httpReq.getSession().getAttribute("current-customer");
            System.out.println(c.getCompanyName());
        }

On this line:

httpReq.setAttribute("current-customer", customer);

Should you be doing this, instead?

httpReq.getSession().setAttribute("current-customer", customer);

We decided not to use sessions, but use service builder and put our service jar on the tomcat global class path so all portlets can get and set fields in the database. Thanks though.
