Need a reference to Session within objects activated from servlet

Is there no way to get the session from the current container of the servlet?
OR get the servlet dig out the data and attach it in a map with the thread id so I will be able to take it out when ever I need (by the thread name)?

The problem is  cant change the functions cause I have lots and lots of them...
Thanx again>

No because u can't grantee that Each User Session is running in a Separate Thread and that each Thread has a unique name

Maybe putting some Filter object in your web flow where you could at the start put session in ThreadLocal map and at the end realese it.
Look at this example here. Although this is not HttpSession object, but the idea is the same as you would like.

>>without passing it from the servlet (I'm working with tomcat)

What's the problem with passing it from the servlet

Basiclly there is no problem but I'm working in a writen code and I have tone of classes I need to add loggin class to.
I want to add the name of the user that is related to the log output line and if I need to add the session obj pointer pass around it will take tone of time to code and test... I hoped some one might know a short cut for this issue.

in any solution u can imagine u mast pass one extra parameter from the Servlet to ur logging classes, for example from ur Servlet can generate a per User session Id and uses a SingleTone object to store the information u need in ur logging classes in a Map for example, but still in order for u to retrieve from this SingleTone class u need that Id generated by the Servlet

I like your idea petmaqdy but isnt there any way to identify the thread that taking care of this request?
Isn't the thread that run the servlet will be the same one that will run all the subfunctions in it (I dont start any threads my self)?
There is a posibility that the same thread that run my servlet will accept a new session call and start to run my servlet as well as other session servlet? if it can how can it happed???

CEHJ - the log is a singletone in the system - max a singleton per class or package due to that I can connect it with a single session...

>>CEHJ - the log is a singletone in the system

OK. But you don't need to generate an id - the Session already has one and the Session reference would actually be enough. You could try to map:

key: current thread
value: Session

e.g.

Session currentSession = (Session)map.get(Thread.currentThread());

in the logging singleton but that may not be infallible

CEHJ - can I uderstand from your answer that there is one thread to each current session?
Mean that if in the servlet I do:

map.put(Thread.currentThread(),myData);

and later in some sub/other class but in the same servlet flow i do

myData = map.get(Thread.currentThread()) ;

and at the end of the servlet i do:

map.remove(Thread.currentThread());

I can count on that that untill the end of the servlet no other data (myData) will be added to the map with the same Thread.currentThread() key?!

>>CEHJ - can I uderstand from your answer that there is one thread to each current session?

No you can't rely on that ;-) This is why i said it won't be infallible. But subsequently created threads will replace the current one in the Map for that Session, so at the point of accessing the Map, it could pan out OK.

Do some testing on this
