I agree. If you don't see what you want there, and can't get changes in the app, then you are out of luck. But my guess is that it passes the session ID somehow. Now, it is some custom value you are after, then Mike's answer is your bad news.

No - I think the answer was (from Chuck) to log out the request as it comes in and see what headers/formValues you receive and go from there.

The trouble is, I have no control over this. The session ID gets passed as it gets passed, nothing I can do about it I don't think because it's not my app. I just give it the link, and it decides how the session ID is passed. That being the case, looks like the answer is I'm out of luck, right?

Thanks,

It is going to be sending a session identifier. This is going to be either in the form values or in the HTTP headers.
I don't see it in the URL, so I'm guessing it must come over as a form variable. If so, using my last e-mail as an example j2ee equivalent of what I want to do, i.e.:

String sessionKey = (String) session.getAttribute ("otherj2eeAppSession");

should I be able to get it simply by doing:

String sessionKey = (String) this.request().formValueForKey ("otherj2eeAppSession");
1) If you're calling session.getAttribute("otherj2eeAppSession") in your j2ee app to get this value, there's no way to get this value from your WO app. A session attribute is a key-value pair _inside_ of an HttpSession, which you don't have (and cannot get without literally serializing the session and sending it over in some custom way).

2) The only thing you can possibly get is one of:
2a) a form parameter that you manually pass to your DA as a query string parameter 2b) a form parameter that you manually pass to your DA via a post parameter 2c) a cookie value provided both of your apps are on the same host and the cookie is configured at the root

What you most likely want to do is call your DA and manually pass the session ID as a query parameter, for instance:

http://yourhost.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/YourApp.woa/wa/ yourDirectAction?otherj2eeAppSession=xyz

at which point, yes you could call request().stringFormValueForKey ("otherj2eeAppSession") and get the value.
