Yes, I used the wrong term there.
It is going to be sending a session identifier. This is going to
be either in the form values or in the HTTP headers.
I don't see it in the URL, so I'm guessing it must come over as a
form variable. If so, using my last e-mail as an example j2ee
equivalent of what I want to do, i.e.:
String sessionKey = (String) session.getAttribute
("otherj2eeAppSession");
should I be able to get it simply by doing:
String sessionKey = (String) this.request().formValueForKey
("otherj2eeAppSession");
Yes, exactly. You might want to log out all of the headers and form
values to see what you have to work with.

You will have to find it. See the WORequest methods for getting
access to these.

Yes, you're correct in that what I'm doing is probably not a
"normal" thing to do, but in my case I think it's required. My
webobjects app is communicating with another J2EE app. I've
configured the J2EE app to invoke one of my Direct actions. When
it does, it passes me ITS session object as was shown, and it
wants it back when my webobjects app sends a message back to it.
That's why I need to access ITS session object (and why it sends
it to me in the first place). Am I out of luck? Note, I don't
have any control over the J2EE app other than being able to
configure it to invoke my direct action.

So wait ... Let's go back to square one here. You're running a
normal WO app, NOT inside of a servlet container like Tomcat or
JBoss, correct? If so, there IS no HttpSession. That's a J2EE
construct that does not exist in WO (in the same way). If
you're coming from another container and getting redirected into
your WO app, you aren't sharing sessions with that other
application -- you're using WO sessions in your and they're
using whatever they're using in theirs. In yours, your
application has a WOSession subclass, which you can obtain by
asking your component for it's .session().
If I'm reading this wrong and you're deploying a WO app inside
of Tomcat or JBoss (or some other J2EE container), then your
context will be a WOServletContext and you CAN access the
HttpSession.
Can you clarify exactly what your development/deployment
scenario is here?
