Webwork provides several access helpers to access Session, Application, Request scopes
Web agnostic (independent of the servlet API) with calls:
Map session = (Map) ActionContext.getContext().get("session"); session.put("myId",myProp);
The following gives you the same thing as above:
ServletActionContext.getRequest().getSession()
Note: Be sure not to use ActionContext.getContext() in the constructor of your action since the values may not be set up already (returning null for getSession()).
Note also: ActionContext.getContext().get("session") is the same as
ActionContext.getContext().getSession() with a cast to Map.
If you really need to get access to the HttpSession, use the ServletConfigInterceptor (see Interceptors).
In your views, you can access with your jsps as such
<ww: property value="#session.myId" /> <ww: property value="#request.myId" />
All the servlet scopes can be accessed like above.
Map request = (Map) ActionContext.getContext().get("request"); request.put("myId",myProp); Map application = (Map) ActionContext.getContext().get("application"); application.put("myId",myProp); Map session = (Map) ActionContext.getContext().get("attr"); attr.put("myId",myProp);
The 'attr' map will search the javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext for the specified key. If the PageContext dosen't exist, it will search request,session,application maps respectively.
