How to get a session from a service?

[Patrick-4]

I have a service definition
public static Map<String, Object> sendMailFromScreen(DispatchContext
dctx, Map<String, ? extends Object> rServiceContext)

How can I get the session from this?  Thanks
Patrick

You can't, services are isolated and not aware of the http request/response cycle.  You need to explicitly pass in any parameters that the service will use.

Hi Patrick:
Actually, you can get a session from within a Java service. Try:

HttpSession session = (HttpSession)context.get("session");

Only if "session" is specified as an attribute/parameter in the service definition, which is basically what I described below.

You absolutely cannot just retrieve the session from any service without defining it as an attribute and then passing it in from the calling code.

this is something that confused me at first.
Events pass the HTTP so the java code.
services engine converts the session into the context named parameters.
take a look at the HttpEngine.java
