username in httpSession ?

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Oh, I see.

So, if you were allowed to grab this kind of information using a "getAttribute()" method ( or similar ), then it would help you? I can think in some config option to allow that.. Something like "enable.raw.session.data", which then can be accessed in the form

session.getAttribute("usersession.username");

which is the same of

SessionFacade.getUserSession().getUsername();

However, having something like this the data will be almost duplicated in the session ( well, it's possible to provide a better approach, but then it will require some major changes here and there ).

Hello,

I'm using the accessLogValve and awstats to make usage statistics on my site.
The accesLogValve enable to put in the logfile a field from HttpSession. I used this feature to add the username in my own site, it works great.

I was then wondering if I could do the same with jforum. Ie is there an attribute in the httpSession where the login is store?

Yes.:

SessionFacade.getUserSession().getUsername();

(eg, the username is not directly written to the session, but to a data structure which is kept in the session ).

I don't think that's usable

see http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/valve.html

There is also support to write information from the cookie, incoming header, the Session or something else in the ServletRequest. It is modeled after the apache syntax:

%{xxx}i for incoming headers
%{xxx}c for a specific cookie
%{xxx}r xxx is an attribute in the ServletRequest
%{xxx}s xxx is an attribute in the HttpSession

Anyway not so important feature ;)
I was just asking in case of ..

It would solve the problem, but it is probably not worth the duplication of all data.. well depends what you would duplicate and if it is a real duplication or just another reference.
