Session handling in Struts2

[Pranav Nakate]

Hi,

i learned J2EE a few months back and now i am learning Struts 2...

Can anyone explain me how the client session is created and handled in Struts2 ???

i came across an interceptor 'SessionAware' which exposes a 'Map session' to the action...

my doubt is whether this is the SAME as in the session created using 'HttpSession session=request.getSession() ' ...??? [ jst as i did in J2EE servlets ...]

Thank you in Advance...

Pranav

ServletActionContext.getRequest().getSession(true); Found in create session interceptor.

Thanks Mohana...so that means in SessionAware interceptor, the session created is similar to what is obtained from the HttpServletRequest object or is there any difference?
i mean is it different from HttpSession object or its the same?

Thanks

Hi Debraj,

my doubt is whether the session map obtained from SessionAware interceptor does the same job as "HttpSession session=request.getSession()" where request is an object of HttpServletRequest.... ???

Same, Struts internally using servlets. You can consider struts is a top layer on the servlets.

hi there,

i have given the link just to help but it seems like you did not gone thru the documentation of struts2,
the think you are looking for is

HttpSession session = ServletActionContext.getRequest().getSession(true);

you can get session in this way also

Map<String, Object> session = ActionContext.getContext().getSession();
