How to get the current user in a SessionBean from the Sessio

[heinrich]

Hi,

in ejb2.1 i was able to obtain the current user from the sessionContext

context.getEnvironment().getProperty("user");

But using ejb3 and the current JBoss this will not work anymore.
How is it possible to get the current user from the context?

Thanks

martin

That's right but..

How do you get the current sessionContext?

There's a callback method setSessionContext which gets called by the container. See this for more details http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/ejb/SessionBean.html#setSessionContext(javax.ejb.SessionContext)

You can use this method to store the sessionContext:

private SessionContext sessionContext;
public void setSessionContext(SessionContext sessCtx) {
 this.sessionContext = sessCtx;
}

yes, thats true.

But my problem is that i want to get the sessionContext from the Controller of my application. I put that code into the bean to reference:

@Stateless
public class ProcessPaymentBean implements ProcessPaymentLocal{
@Resource SessionContect sessionContext;
//private SessionContext sessionContext;
public void setSessionContext(SessionContext sessCtx) {
this.sessionContext = sessCtx;
}
public SessionContext getSessionContext(){
return this.sessionContext;
}

But sessionContext is ever null. What I must do? Thanks

I'm not using the ejb like entity associated to the DB, may it be the problem?

Then, how can I get the sessionContext?

"The container calls the setSessionContext() method after the instance creation". Maybe not works.

Thanks!
