How to get http session id

[jgreene]

This may be more of a JSF question that a Seam one, and if so, I apologize. In my past web apps, I've been able to get the http session id by asking the HttpServletRequest for it, but that was in a servlet environment that I managed. Does the Seam API allow me to easily get the http session id for a user's session?

I'm sure this must be simple, but I'm drawing a blank. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

I found a solution on this forum that seems to work. Here's the code and original forum link:

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