HttpSession issue [message #637279]

Greetings all,

Forgive the noob nature of the question, but I am pretty new to RAP and I'm seeing some unexpected behavior. Here is the scenario:

I have a servlet that receives a POST from outside my app. I take some of the data and wrap it in a value object and put the VO in the session. When I try to access the session from the UI view (via a button click) using RWT.getSessionStore().getHttpSession(), the session attribute for the VO is not there.

I figured this would be a pretty simple operation to try before I moved on to more advanced updating of the UI, but I can't even get this to work. Am I missing something simple? Is the HttpSession in the UI not the same as the one referenced by request.getSession() in the servlet?

Thanks in advance.
Irwin

I found this posting, http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=23562&a mp; which is similar to my issue. Does anyone know if there has been any improvements to the framework that might help in this scenario?

Thanks again!

Hi,
the HttpSession is not cleared anymore at a session restart. See bug
306599: Improve session restart
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=306599
If you experience problems please fill a bugzilla with a snippet to
reproduce it.
Thanks,
Ivan
