Hi, I'm trying to access session from a Groovy class, but I'm not successful.

When I have a simple script:

<% session = request.getSession(true);

counter = session.getValue("counter") %>

- everything is OK.

But when I have a class:

class User {

def counter = 0;

void setUser() {

session = request.getSession(true); counter = session.getValue("counter") }

String showCounter() { return this.counter; } }

The Error message is No such property: request for class: User.

So how should I access session from the class?

You need to pass the request to your groovy class. See for example http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/GroovyClassHelloWorldTutor...

Hi, thanks for a quick response. Somehow I managed it. I thought I tried this way yesterday, but apparently I made a mistake somwhere. Thanks, Zik
