Re: Using the HttpSession object with openamf

Hello Oliver,

Thank you very much for replying.

I have written a servlet filter which
(1) Retrieves a user object from the HttpSession object before a request is 
handled and
(2) Stores the user object in a ThreadLocal object and
(3) Retrieves the user object from the ThreadLocal object after the request 
has been handled and
(4) Stores the user object in the HttpSession object
and my tests indicate that the filter is working as expected.

However every time the Flash application connects to Tomcat and openamf, it 
is assigned a diffferent session (I am logging the session ids assigned).

Is there something else that I have to do to associate the Flash application 
with a session so that each call to Tomcat and openamf is associated with 
the same session?

Looking forward to your reply.

Many thanks,
Bruce.
