How can I get the session id?

[chicochen]

I use below code, but FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() always return null.

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 ExternalContext externalContext = facesContext.getExternalContext();
 HttpSession session = (HttpSession)externalContext.getSession(true);
 String sessionId = session.getId();

package com.eastidea.menglishweb.action;

import javax.faces.context.ExternalContext;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.NoResultException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

import org.jboss.seam.annotations.In;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.security.Identity;

import com.eastidea.menglishweb.action.base.BaseActionImpl;
import com.eastidea.menglishweb.entity.User;

@Name("authenticateAction")
public class AuthenticateActionImpl extends BaseActionImpl implements
 AuthenticateAction {

 private static final long serialVersionUID = 7601102159656515184L;

 @In
 private EntityManager entityManager;

 @In
 private Identity identity;

 public boolean authenticate() {
 try {
 User user = (User) entityManager
 .createQuery(
 "from User where username = :username and password = :password")
 .setParameter("username", identity.getUsername())
 .setParameter("password", identity.getPassword())
 .getSingleResult();
 setCurrentUser(user);

 FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 ExternalContext externalContext = facesContext.getExternalContext();
 HttpSession session = (HttpSession)externalContext.getSession(true);
 String sessionId = session.getId();

 return true;
 } catch (NoResultException ex) {
 return false;
 }
 }
}

Also, is there a good way to keep http session in jboss seem actions calling via web service method?

@Stateless
@Name("AuthenticateWebService")
@WebService(name = "AuthenticateWebService", serviceName = "AuthenticateWebService")
public class AuthenticateWebService implements AuthenticateWebServiceRemote {

 //@In(value = "authenticateAction", create = true)
 //private AuthenticateAction authenticateAction;

 @WebMethod
 public String login(String username, String password) {
 Identity.instance().setUsername(username);
 Identity.instance().setPassword(password);
 Identity.instance().login();

 if (Identity.instance().isLoggedIn()){
 ResponseInfo rInfo = ResponseInfo.getSuccessInfo();



 String xml = BeanXMLMapping.toXML(rInfo);
 return xml;
 }
 else {
 ResponseInfo rInfo = ResponseInfo.getFailInfo();
 String xml = BeanXMLMapping.toXML(rInfo);
 return xml;
 }

 }

How are you calling authenticateAction.authenticate()?

[chicochen]

Identity.instance.login will call "authenticate" method that config in component.xml, isn't it?

[pmuir]

Yes, so are you calling it from a JSF view?

[chicochen]

No, I call this webservice method from flash lite client.

I like to get the jsessionid and send it back via request url, is there any good way?

Ok, so this is why there is no FacesContext (you aren't in a faces request).

[chicochen]

So, do you have any good way to solve it?

Don't beg, use: ServletContexts.instance().getRequest().getSession()

[chicochen]

But ServletContexts.instance().getRequest() always return null, how can I keep the session?thanks.

[chicochen]

up, need your help!

[pmuir]

Don't bump. *think* about why you can't get get the session id in a web service. Then understand your request makes no sense.

[chicochen]

Anyone can help me?

But ServletContexts.instance().getRequest() always return null

You already got the correct answer from the method as I understand it.
