Hi all,

I'm using jakarta httpclient classes to generate a Request from a stand
alone application:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
URL filesURL = new URL(myURL");

PostMethod postMethod = new PostMethod(filesURL.toString());

File targetFile = new File(path);
Part[] parts = {new StringPart("serverFileName",serverFileName),
new FilePart(targetFile.getName(), targetFile)
};

postMethod.setRequestEntity(new MultipartRequestEntity(parts,
postMethod.getParams())
);


int statusCode1 = client.executeMethod(postMethod);

My problem is that in the Server side I check Session object:

private boolean isUserAuthenticated(HttpServletRequest request) {
boolean isAuthenticated = false;
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
if(session == null) return false;
if (session.getAttribute(Constants.USER_LOGGED) != null) {
isAuthenticated = true;
}
return isAuthenticated;
}

How can I put this Constants.USER_LOGGED variable in httpclient request
object?

That is not what you actually want to do :-).

What you want to do is simulate the way that a browser maintains
sessions across requests.  Typically, this is done by the server
sending a JSESSIONID cookie along with the first response.  Your
client code will need to pick up that session ID and include it (in a
"Cookie" header) on the subsequent request, so that the server will
know what session the second request belongs to.
