How to get session information in Spring MVC 3

Question

I am new to spring MVC and I am trying to get the session information in my controller class

Right now I am using

HttpSession objHttpSession = request.getSession(true);

if I want to get session creation time and session Id I am using

objHttpSession.getCreationTime(); objHttpSession.getId();

I want to know is there any spring MVC specific way to get the session details?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I usually declare a parameter of type HttpSession in my Spring MVC controller method when I need to access session details.

For example:

@RequestMapping("/myrequest") public void handleMyRequest(HttpSession session, ...) {    ... } 

I think it's the simplest way, but don't know if it fits your needs.
