How can I get to the value then?
Not sure how much experience you have with Java, but it doesn't really have the notion of addresses. "[...@e51b2c" is just the default output of toString() on an array object: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#toString() I'd suggest searching for Java byte array to hex conversion if you want an string representing the values in your array in hexadecimal (same format as used by javax.servlet.request.ssl_session). > Anyway, in many of the cases of request there is no ID available at all. > That's why I also think the SSL session context is not approriate here. As I said, it's not absurd want to expose the SSL session ID as a Request parameter (in the same was as client certificates and cipher suites are exposed). I could try to provide a patch to do so (if Jerome and Thierry are happy with it). What I'm still not clear about is what you're trying to do with it here (I don't how well you know SSL/TLS). Whether with Restlets or Servlets, it doesn't seem right to use that for maintaining some sort of application session.
