Re: [OT] Serializing HttpSession Object

[Michael McGrady]

I just did a quick check and noticed that the session object is not 
serializable.  Have you checked out the RequestInfo object and its 
ilk?  Why don't you replace the current sessions with a set of session 
objects like the EJB 2.0 CMP entity beans?

I need to serialize the session and save it to a blob in MySql (i use
Hibernate).
I have tried, for example;

ByteArrayOutputSream baos = new ByteArrayOutputstream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(boas);
oos.writeObject(session);  //<-- it fails here, nothing in the logs
byte[] sessionAsBytes = baos.toByteArray();
...
I need this to give the user the option to restore a previous session
(where they where before they last logged out, with all the session
variables required to restore to that point).
 Thanks, Johan.
