Retrieving session data in remote objects with FlexContext.getFlexSession().getAttribute(myName) doesn´t work

[Alejandro_Storn]

Here is a jsp page (fww_prueba_ale.jsp) that references a swf
(compiled from sessionDataManagerCaller.mxml) that only makes a
call to a Remote Object (SessionDataManager.java) that try to
obtain information from the session. In the jsp, i set a session
attribute myName, with the value Paolo and i print it and the
session ID. In the remote object, i try to get the value of that
attribute, but it is null. The session ID is not the same either.



public class SessionDataManager

{

public SessionDataManager()

{

System.out.println("Constructor de SessionDataManager");

}



public Object[] manipulateSessionData()

{



System.out.println("EN getManipulateSessionData()");



HttpServletRequest req = FlexContext.getHttpRequest();

FlexSession flxSession = FlexContext.getFlexSession();



System.out.println("FlexContext.getHttpRequest().getSession().getId():
"+

FlexContext.getHttpRequest().getSession().getId());



System.out.println("FlexContext.getFlexSession().getId(): "+

FlexContext.getFlexSession().getId());



System.out.println("FlexContext.getFlexSession().getAttribute(myName):
"+

FlexContext.getFlexSession().getAttribute("myName"));



System.out.println("FlexContext.getHttpRequest().getSession().getAttribute(myName):
"+


FlexContext.getHttpRequest().getSession().getAttribute("myName"));





ArrayList list=new ArrayList();

return list.toArray();



}



fww_prueba_ale.jsp



<%

request.getSession().setAttribute("myName", "Paolo");

System.out.println("request.getSession().getId():
"+request.getSession().getId());


System.out.println("request.getSession().getAttribute(myName):
"+request.getSession().getAttribute("myName"));

How can i do this work ?

[pete]

Where is the SWF hosted in relation to the JSP page?

[pedro_varela]

Hi, look i'm frustated because of this, don't know how to do
it.



I have a login page in JSP, when the user login the system do
authentication and save a variable session...

depending the type of user loads X page.. after this.. when X
page appears will be my Flex App.. in ther I need to read the
session variable.. and that's what i don't know how to do.. If you
have any information i will be thankful.

Thanx

You'd have to make sure that the Flash Player sent the same
session cookie

on any subsequent requests... I'm not sure if the player
shares the same

cookies with the browser? Is your JSP on the same server as
the remote object?

[pedro_varela]

thanx.. for the response. i already solve my problem
