I think I am having the same problems. I am developing with jboss seam 4.2.3 and making a very very simple REST web service.

I just login with one REST method doLoginRest, and then secondly i check to see if the login is valid with the REST method testLogin.

I login, then i call the testLogin method and clearly the login did not stick between method invocations.

I have <resteasy:application destroy-session-after-request="false"/> set in my components.xml file.

Any ideas?

My code is below.


@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
@Transactional
public class MyClass {
@In(required=false) private User currentUser; // don't have to be logged in to use this class
    /**
     * Do the login as a REST service.
     */
    @GET
    @Path("/doLogin")
    public String doLoginRest(@QueryParam("userId") String userId, @QueryParam("password") String password) throws IOException {     
        Credentials creds = identity.getCredentials();
        creds.setUsername(userId);
        creds.setPassword(password);
        identity.setRememberMe(true);
        Context session = Contexts.getSessionContext();
        currentUser = (User) session.get("currentUser"); // This at this point is NOT null, login worked!!!
        return identity.login();
    }
    /**
     * Test if the login worked
     */
    @GET
    @Path("/testLogin")
    public String doTestLogin() {     
        Context session = Contexts.getSessionContext();
        currentUser = (User) session.get("currentUser");
        return ""+(currentUser != null); // This is false everytime
    }
}
