As with so many questions around here, this one's an odd one.
I'm trying to figure out a difficult problem - how to make (essentially) an asynchronous HttpUrlConnection (or HttpsUrlConnection) from a
servlet to a URL on the same server secured with LDAP. Normally, I'd encapsulate the functionality I need in a ServletFilter, but I'm basically needing to call another URL while continuing on with the servlet.
Is there any way for me to pick up the user's session information from the initial servlet call and pass those along?
I'd come up with another method, but I'm somewhat limited by the underlying COTS system with what I can do. Thanks in advance.
