session logout

[samuel786431]

Hi,

There are two methods to get the session:

session= this.repository.loginAdministrative(null); session = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

With the first approach i need an explicit session.logout() and with the second the logout is managed automatically by sling, right?

Thanks

but you need to close your resolver which will take care of it.

Hi,

You are right, but If you are going to use loginAdministrative(), I would recommend not to use it, It has been deprecated. Although it is still available to support existing applications.

Take a look

Hi 

As mentioned by Praveen, "session= this.repository.loginAdministrative(null);" has been depricated.

Link:- https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/ref/javadoc/org/apache/sling/jcr/api/SlingRepository....

and another good article to read

I hope this would act as some help to you.

Thanks and Regards

I'm tryng to use:

session = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

but the reference of resourceResolver is null inside my bundle

i can recovery the session only by:

session=resolverFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver(null).adaptTo(Session.class);

Is it correct?

[edubey]

If you have request object you can get it this way

ResourceResolver resourceResolver = request.getResourceResolver(); Session session = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

[Lokesh_Shivalingaiah]

as @edubey mentioned, get the resourceResolver from the request and then adapTo session 

or you can use whatever you have mentioned. Even thats correct

[samuel786431]

I don't have  a servlet or a jsp is a simple java class so i can't use the request.

With the deprecated method i don't have problem, with resolverFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver(null).adaptTo(Session.class) i have a lot of session unclosed

[edubey · Accepted solution]

okay, you can use

session.logout();

to close the session

[samuel786431]

So doesn't exist a method without the need of logout?

The approach with the resource resolver doesn't need a try/catch and i think it is the right way but why my reference is null?

Hi,

To replace loginAdministrative, you need to use Service Based Authentication [1]. The idea is to move away from creating a session which has full access to the whole repository and instead for you to think about what permissions are really required, so you create service users for specific tasks.Examples here [2][3][4] When using the ResourceResolver, you would call close() on that object.

This is an older article  which talks about your responsibility when opening sessions or a resourceresolver. Ignore the talk of loginadministrative 🙂
