Session ID

Hi,

I am trying to obtain the session id. Alas, I need it already at the first request to the server (no redirects). Therefore, the request does not yet have the requested-session-id in the header. The server naturaly holds the session_id.

Is there a quick way to obtain the session id without having to write a java bean to do so?

Thanks,

Assaf

Hi Assaf,

The standard way of dealing with the session in OPS is to use the
scope processors (link to documentation below). You can use the scope
serializer to store a document in the session and the scope generator
to retrieve it. Would those processors work for the use case you have
in mind?

Re: Session ID

Hi Alex,

I don't think they will solve the problem. I need to
get the session id (automatically generated by the app
server - tomcat on the first request). Since this is
the first reqest the session id has not been sent to
the browser and therefore will not be included in the
request header. It is usually available by querying
the Session object:

HttpSession.getId();

I do not know how to access the HttpSession from OPS.

Thanks,

Assaf

Re: Session ID

Since it's an HTTP header you could try the request generator:
http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/processors-generators-request

with configuration

<config>
<include>/request/headers/header[name='cookie']/value</include>
</config>

Re: Session ID

Hi Ross (and thanks),

The session id is not in the header until the second
request from the client and therefore cannot be read.
It is however stored in the app server session as
HttpSession.getId(). I just don't know how to get it
in an XPL.

RE: Session ID

Assaf,
You could probably write a simple processor to give you this, or use
the unsafe-xslt processor and create a java function that can return the
value

Re: Session ID

Administrator

In reply to this post by assafn

Assaf,

The oxf:request processor will give you the requested session id, but it
will not produce the result of HttpSession.getId().

However I think that oxf:request would be the right place to query this
information.
