HTTP Session in java class

[TIENNOS]

Hi everybody,

I am noob in grails .

We are trying to put an (existing) hibernate application on the web and we want to automaticaly get the user who is stored in the session.

I would like to know, if there is a way to retrieve the grails http session in a java class ?


Best Regards

Etienne

If you are doing a lot of work that is relevant or needs to be
isolated to a single session, you should use a session-scoped service.
 For example, if your user can have a shopping cart, your cart can
contain a list of items, and your controller can just say
"cartService.addItem item" and know that the items is being added for
the user whose session made the request.  This scoped dependency
injection works much better than the 'pull' style session handling
where you just grab random items out of the session by passing a
"username" or "cart" key.

Now, more relevant to your question, I believe there's a 'session'
object available to your controller, which you should be very careful
if you're passing that around to other classes (i.e. passing it to a
singleton service could be bad) if that same instance could be
handling other sessions as well -- that's sort of asking for disaster.
 You could create 'userService' which, upon login, populates the
username and other info into the services's instance variables.  Then
you can inject that UserService to controllers and other services that
might need such information.

Does that make sense?  Hope this helps get you on the right track.

Thanks for your answer, but if service are singleton it will not work.

I don't use domain class, I use java persistence class and when I save a data I want to know which user save this data.

The connected user is in session.user but I don't understand how to retrieve the session.user in my java classes like sessionfactory for hibernate ?
