How to get HttpSession in Weddynpro NW 7.0?

[Former Member]

Do you know how to do the same code below in NW 7.0?

NW 04 way:

HttpServletRequest request =((IWebContextAdapter)WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter()).getHttpServletRequest();
HttpSession session = request.getSession();

Hi,

You can also achieve the session Sotrage, this way from web dynpro.

//Setting value in session

IMaintainScope maintainer = Utils.getScopeMaintainer(WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE);

maintainer.getScope().put("Session_Key", value);

//Getting value from session

IMaintainScope maintainer = Utils.getScopeMaintainer(WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE);

if(maintainer.getScope().get("Session_Key") != null){

value = maintainer.getScope().get("Session_Key).toString();

}

I Hope it helps

Hi shabir rahim ,

do you know if this way of storing a value in a session is supported in NW 7.0?

or if they plan to deprecate it later on? i dont want to build a solution based off it and have them take the API away later....this has happened too many times....

We have worked in EP 7.0 only and we have used this.

This is a easier way to store and retrieve , supported by webdynpro

i need to get the unique session id for a custom usage tracking application...is there any way to get a unique id that identifies the users browser session?

I'm not aware of how user browser session can be tracked in WD Java.

However, if your application is running inside Portal or requires authentication, you can track the users with help of application parameters. I hope I did not wander too far off from your concern.

I am utimately only trying to get the unique browser sessionId...

String sessionId = session.getId();

HttpServletRequest request = ((IWebContextAdapter) WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter()).getHttpServletRequest();
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
String sessionId = session.getId();

Hello,

I'm afraid that you can't access HttpServletSession object in WebDynpro via public API. See [this thread|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?messageID=1329730#1329730].

What is that you need to access Session for? You can get the request object with code given below though.

IWDProtocolAdapter prt = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter();
IWDRequest req = prt.getRequestObject();

Vishwas.
