Is that safe? My services makes heavy use of the HttpSession. At a minimum, I store the user's connection to the legacy server app I work with, but there are other things, too--tables last queried, images retrieved, etc. This is why I wish I could override getThreadLocalRequest() with a mock for testing. To have an entirely separate class, I'd have to instantiate it with each RPC call so the session object wouldn't get stomped on by another user. I'm worried about that overhead once I'm out of development and test and into production. Failing that I could pass the session in with the call, but then I don't see the point of a separate class. I could just have something like this for each public method. @Override public LoginInfo doLogin(String server, String name, String passwd) { return doLogin(getThreadLocalRequest().getSession(true), server, name, password); } private LoginInfo doLogin(HttpSession session, String server, String name, String passwd) { MyApp app = new MyApp(); // prep more params and log in ... app.login(server, name, passwd, param0...); // remember session ... return app.getLoginInfo(); } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
