Migration from ATG Dynamo 5.1 to Weblogic 10.3 Server

Question

Hi,
We are currently involved in a project in which the application has be
migrated from the ATG Dynamo Server 5.1 to Weblogic 10.3 application
server.
While doing this we are facing some problems related to
DynamoHttpServletRequest.
Previosly the code was written as below:
DynamoHttpServletRequest atgRequest = (DynamoHttpServletRequest)
request;
HttpSession atgSession = (HttpSession) atgRequest.resolveName("/" );
Since we are moving to the weblogic server we are planning to remove
the DynamoHttpServletRequest and use the javax HttpServletRequest.
But to do this i am unable to find the functionality that does
resolveName("/" ).
I tried writing the below 2 lines of code inplace of the 2 lines of
code above, but it is not solving the purpose.
HttpServletRequest weblogicRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request;
HttpSession weblogicSession = (HttpSession)
weblogicRequest.getSession();
Can anybody please help me in solving this problem where i can replace
DynamoHttpServletRequest with HttpServletRequest.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your response.
While migrating we have tried to remove the ATG dependency and we are getting session invalid. We are unable to find a similar method for “resolveName” in HTTPServletRequest. The method “resolveName” of the DynamoHttpServletRequest is being used to retrieve the session object by passing a String parameter (‘/’ or any URL).
Whereas the HTTPServletRequest has only two methods [getSession() or getSession(Boolean)] to retrieve the session object and here we cannot pass any String parameter. Thus we are unable the replicate the existing functionality using the HTTPServletRequest class.
Below are some code examples for your reference.
Sample1:
Below commented code is original one. we tried to as mentined below:
//import atg.servlet.DynamoHttpServletRequest;
/* DynamoHttpServletRequest atgRequest = (DynamoHttpServletRequest) request;
HttpSession atgSession = (HttpSession) atgRequest.resolveName("/" );
String atgsession = "jsessionid=" + atgSession.getId();
HttpServletRequest weblogicRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request;
HttpSession weblogicSession = (HttpSession) weblogicRequest.getSession();
String weblogicsession = "jsessionid=" + weblogicSession.getId();
Sample2:
Below commented code is original one. we tried to as mentined below:
/* ATG Dynamo for Session Last Access Time functionality */
//import atg.servlet.DynamoHttpServletRequest;
/* DynamoHttpServletRequest atgRequest = (DynamoHttpServletRequest) request;
HttpSession session = (HttpSession) atgRequest.resolveName("/atg/dynamo/servlet/sessiontracking/SessionManager/" + sessionID);
HttpServletRequest weblogicRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request;
HttpSession session = (HttpSession) weblogicRequest.getSession();
we would like to know is there any smilar functionality or methods available so we can use in HttpServletRequest or servlets.
Thanks,
