session object not carrying forward to flex

[Andy Murray, modificado 11 Anos atrás.]

Hi,

Im trying to embed a Flex .swf file.
Im able to use my user info object in servlets / filters simply by : request.getSession().getAttribute(MyUser.usersession);
where request is of type HttpServletRequest.

But when I invoke a class which is specific to flex and try to get this "MyUser" object from FlexContext's session it is not working.
(MyUser)FlexContext.getHttpRequest().getSession().getAttribute(MyUser.usersession);

Any help much appreciated

flex util class is just a normal java class. I have BlazeDs jars in my web-inf.

The web application's session is different than the portlet's session. Portlet session is typically scoped within the ROOT web application's session, and this is a different context.

Hey David, thats correct....but there should be some way to get this web application session to portlet session...can u suggest me pls

There isn't a natural way. The portlet request, response, and session objects are, by jsr definition, not assumed to be connected with an application container. Therefore although most jsr implementations run within an application container, since they stick to the jsr definition there is no natural way to get where you're trying to go.

However, if you have a PortletRequest object (either an ActionRequest or a RenderRequest), you can use PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest() to get to the original HTTP request that started everything off, but this only gets you access to the ROOT HttpSession, and not the session from your own war.

Possibly you could get around this by using a ThreadLocal?
