Data Exchange Using the Session Object

Data stored in the http session will be kept by the server as long as the user session is alive.

Getting the request object:

IPortalComponentRequest request = (IPortalComponentRequest) this.getRequest();

To store a value in the session we have to use the command line:

request.getComponentSession().putValue("myText", "Text in the session context");

To get the stored value we have to use the command line:

request.getComponentSession().getValue("myText");

To store a value in the session we have to use the command line:

<%

componentRequest.getComponentSession().putValue("myText", "That text is from the JSP");

%>

To get the stored value we have to use the command line:

<%

componentRequest.getComponentSession().getValue("myText").toString();

%>
