I may be wrong about this, but I thought that it was expressly forbidden by the servlet spec to be able to get arbitrary sessions. That is, even if you store the session ID in some table, you wouldn't be able to get any session other than that associated with the current request.

Now, that refers to standards-compliant ways to do it... I'm sure most app servers give you their own way to pull it off... JMX pops to mind as a likely possibility.

(unless I'm wrong-LOL)

Bob,

Thanks for the reply. My problem is that the session info I need is not of the session that makes the request. I need to check other sessions in the same context. I can use the request because it is in the same context, so the manager is the same.

This servlet is called internally from the app, and checks if some session exists. It is similar to the case of obtaining all active sessions from one context using the manager inside the servlet code (findSessions). If someone have this piece of code (or similar), it will serve me.

        To do something like that you need to do it yourself.  i.e. store a
HashTable in the application context, then add and remove sessions to
it when people login and logout, or at some other convinient time.
Of course, this assumes your app isn't running in a distributed environment.
If it is, then it's impossible to get a session object from a different
JVM.  (well, you could serialize it and transfer the data, but it won't
be the same object and it won't be useful for much other than extracting
some info)
