You must have a reference to the servlet or servletcontext somehow.
You could do something like this (you should store the servlet not the session):
protected void process(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
HttpSession session= request.getSession(true);
SessionHandler.storeCurrentSession(session);
super.process(request, response);
SessionHandler.removeCurrentSession();
}
And the SessionHandler is this:
public class SessionHandler
{
private static java.util.HashMap _hmSessions = new java.util.HashMap();
public static HttpSession getCurrentSession()
{
return (HttpSession)_hmSessions.get(Thread.currentThread().getName());
}
public static void removeCurrentSession()
{
_hmSessions.remove(Thread.currentThread().getName());
}
public static void storeCurrentSession(HttpSession session)
{
_hmSessions.put(Thread.currentThread().getName(), session);
}
}
Then you can always call SessionHandler.getCurrentSession()
As long as you are in the same thread as the current request, which is very likely
