Accessing the session from DatabaseServerLoginModule

[pander]

Hi,

Does anyone know to get at the session when there is no "request" object?

I have subclassed the DatabaseServerLoginModule and overidden the login() method but I need to get access to the session so that I can put some data in it.... however, I cannot work out how to do this when there is no request parameter present.

I'm sure there is a way to do this using "Context's" but I'm not sure of the method.

Any help most appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul,

You can get access to the HttpServletRequest in your login module using the JACC API, but if the user has not generated a session, it may not be available. See http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=AccessingServletRequestForAuthentication

Hi,

As usual junkie.... you da man!!!

Perfect solution for me as the user would have logged in at the point I wanted to access the session.... it's basically a bit at the end of my overidden login() method that only gets executed if the user has logged in successfully.

Cheers!

Paul.
