Hi,
I want to add a feature to JSSI, and I want to know if it's a bad idea.
I want to be able to access the session from a servlet that's called
through the <SERVLET> tag. I've found that since the SSI servlet
already wrote output to the response, request.getSession() always
returns a new session in such servlets.
Here's my idea for a solution...please comment.
I was thinking that we can have the SSI servlet get the Session before
writing any output. Then, when calling a servlet from the <SERVLET> tag
it can check (through reflection) if there's a method
service(ServletRequest, ServletResponse, HttpSession), and if there is,
call that, and pass it the session, otherwise, call the standard
service() method. It could also be done by making an abstract class
which extends GenericServlet, and has the additional method, and then we
can check with instanceOf rather than using reflection.
Let me know if this is an OK idea as I will implement it.
Cheers,
-Nissim
