Pls help with HttpSession in SpringMVC Model

[jay lai]

I have a class extends Controller and return the ModelAndView
I want to somehow session the object that I invoke from the method that call the web-service. How or what i have to do. Here is the snipet code that I wrote

[code]
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
session.setAttribute("someString", this.getWebService()) // invoke a method to return a Collection from webservice
if (action == "none")
// in here i want to get the session and get the data again from the session?

ArrayList arrList = (ArrayList) session.get(someString)? // is this right?

Greatly appreciated with your help

//put something in the session
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute("myIdentifier", myObject);

// get something out of the session

MyObject myObj = (MyObject) session.getAttribute("myIdentifier");

The only thing I saw in your code that looks odd is
if(action == "none")

If you're comparing 2 strings use the .equals()

if("none".equals(action)){
... do somethign here.
}
