Gain Access to Session in Aerogear Controller

iampowers Mar 20, 2013 5:58 PM

I'm finding it difficult to deal with user access/information using the Aerogear controller. I don't appear to have access to the session in my pojos (that get routed to) that I can tell.

My current issue that illustrates this problem is that I want to get the user ID without having that parameter be set as a parameter (nor do I want to do a POST). If I was using a different framework, I could simply get the user out of the session (as I set it into the session inside of a jsp already).

Is there something to address this in Aerogear?

Edit: I tried adding @Context HttpServletRequest req; to my pojo class, and it doesn't work. I'm not exactly sure how some of those get injected, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick,
Is there something to address this in Aerogear?
Currently there is not, but please create a feature request for this and we will address it.

For accessing a property stored in the session, what do you think of adding something like this for that:

to.(Endpoint.class).methodName(param("queryParamName"), session("sessionPropertyName"));
