Java Session and LCDS

[#1]

I am trying to integrate a Flex application using LCDS with a legacy web-based Java application. The legacy application makes heavy use of the java session. I am able to get the jsessionid using HTTP service calls to the application however, calling LCDS, I cannot get the session.



I've tried the flex.messaging.getServletContext() but, this doesn't seem to be it. Any ideas would be helpful.



Thanks,

Hi. What channel/endpoint are you using to connect to the server? If it's RTMP or a streaming or polling channel that uses the NIO server there may not be an easy way to get at the HTTP session.



In general, I don't think it's a good idea to store stuff in the HTTPSession because it may not be available from all channels/endpoints.



If you do need to store stuff in the session though, I'd try using a HTTP (non NIO) streaming or polling channel. I am guessing using those channels' FlexContext.getServletContext() will work to get you the HTTP session.
