I'd do this with a filter on top of the XWiki (struts?) servlet. A session object (request.getSession()) is allocated by the servlet container as soon as the browser touches it, I believe. paul Le 27 sept. 2012 à 02:46, echocoder a écrit :

I would like to pass in a variable from a JSP page, named mySession, to the login page of Xwiki, such as:

So when the user has valid credentials they will be redirected here:

/xwiki/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin/?mySession=" + session.getId();

There is some a custom authentication class written in Java that extends XwikiAuthServiceImpl and inside of the checkAuth(XWikiContext context) method I am trying to retrieve the value I passed in from the JSP page.

String mySession = (String)context.getRequest().getSession().getAttribute("mySession");

The value of mySession is always null. Does anyone know where I went wrong in trying to accomplish this?

Not sure it's that, but I think there should not be an ending '/' before '?mySession=...' /xwiki/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin?mySession=" + session.getId(); 2012/9/27 echocoder <[email protected]>:

In this case "mySession" is a _request_ parameter (part of the request URL query string).

Where did you set "mySession" as a session attribute? You only passed it as a request parameter, so you have to retrieve it with: String mySession = context.getRequest().getParameter("mySession"); Hope this helps, Marius

The value of mySession is always null. Does anyone know where I went wrong in trying to accomplish this?
